Those who know me, know that I throw nearly every shot with a 2 finger grip. I stayed away from the 4 finger, "power grip", because although I did find a bit more distance I lost the control I was used to. But recently I started to try a 3 finger grip. I've added quite a few feet of distance with less effort. The lack of effort let me concentrate on hitting the right release and lines. I will also concur that the very end of the throw (and what Orion and Feldberg say about when the elbow moves past the shoulder being where you explode) is when I'm my most violent. When I concentrate on being loose until the end, I find that the disc literally "rips" from my fingers cleanly. Grip lock, for me, was always a problem that adjusting the grip helped with.
In order for me to learn something new in disc golf, especially when I've been doing it wrong/inefficiently for years, I start slow. Literally slowing down everything; until my body, muscles, and mind all understand what needs to be done to execute properly.
Good luck!
