Maxime - More Surprising Findings from the World of Biomechanical Analysis!

Hey Melissa! I understand the most of the explications on this page, but I didn't understand what's wrong with the hands shaking?

He take the disc, do an abduction with his forearm (at this moment, the disc is up ready to throw like an archer who is ready to shoot, and the forearm face down in a ~45 degrees), so his wrist is in a pronation position (the pie is going down) and when he throw he place his wrist in a supination to proantion position. I tried to figure out the entire throwing mechanics. He explain here how to do this at home (to practice the motion) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49u9-IznjRc
