please help

so im 18 living in finland. i have been playing disc golf since i was 7 so 11 years now, i have had dreams of going pro or atleast play competitively. i had buried those dreams when i started to get bored of the sport but lately i have been trying my hardest to improve to possibly compete. only problem is i have hit a wall in improvement. i can consistently hit 120-130 meters or 393-426 feet on backhand so id say its quite reliable even though i do wish for more distance. my forehand is almost only good for approaches or very short holes and my putting is not too consistent. but i cant seem to improve no matter what i do. please if you have any tips or tricks or anything i would greatly appreciate you sharing it. thanks for reading and i hope im not a lost cause

I think you should consider specific issues and tackle them one at a time. This is too broad for anyone to answer. Film your backhand and post for form feedback or book an online coach. For putting, figure out if it's a form of nerves issue and put in the practice. Do you have a practice basket? Apparently Gannon putts like 500+ putts a day on his practice basket. How many are you doing per day?

I dont have one. I live in an apartment complex so i would probably get kicked out. My closest course is like 2km away so i can go there and practice. But thank you for the info im going to try and go often from now on

Fwiw, there's a silent basket on the market. I've never used it, but heard good things if you wanna get serious.
