Watch for involuntarily rotating your forearm during shots. Think of your wrist as a hinge with a kingpin. Go through your motions slowly and repeatedly to see the angle of the kingpin when you "uncoil." If you're skying it, you are probably snapping it out of the horizontal plane at the last instant. Be as aware as possible of the tip of the whip as it snaps.
Make your stroke straight, like you were pulling the rope on an outboard motor. Move the disc only in the direction you want it to go. If your stroke is a swoop or a curve, you are wasting energy and compromising accuracy.
Understand that all kinds of dynamics change when you add or reduce the power and speed of your stroke. The harder you pull, the harder you'll grip, though the ratio between strength of pull to strength of grip may not be linear. All I can say about this is, "know thy self."
Every disc has its variations in lift, shape, and grippiness. Each variation in a disc can affect how and when it will release. All I can say about this is, "know thy disc."
Give it ten thousand or so reps and you'll have it dialed right in.
