Muscles used w/ SSC ??

WRT the "Stretch Shortening Cycle"... which I'd never heard of before I joined, I'm wondering in the throw w/ proper form, which muscles engage in an SSC? Seems to me, to max speed of the disc, one would do best to do coordinated engagement of the back / deltoits (? - not sure if that's what they're called, but the ones that get stretched when we elongate), triceps, which will straighten the elbow, and whatever the heck unbends the wrist... or am I missing something...

BTW... do you ever watch a pro golfer hit a ball in slow mo?? Watch how their wrists, cocked at 90 degrees don't unload until their arms are nearly down vertically in the swing... then they just explode generating club head speed... totally crazy when you see it...

Upshots

BTW... watched the Upshot portion of the course... very much liked the body position for anhyzer upshots, so was out in the field practicing yesterday. Today, had a tough 220 foot upshot w/ all sorts of trees in the way... did a standstill w/ the technique and went left of them trees, right of thar trees and parked right next to hole. Great way to keep the nose down... and get a nice curve into a tough green...

JimSok Form Vids 08Sep26

Was out in the field throwing putters to 150 and 200 feet. Later tried to replicate form on the back porch, so you'll see side & rear views of upshot form to something like 150 feet, then side & rear of form out to about 200 feet. Wider stance, more bent knees, more coil in the latter than the former.
