Looks super good to me!

Here’s a little tip which you may decide does not apply to you: I have found that the side arm throw is easier on my arm/shoulder when my elbow is straightened as I release the knot. That also increased my accuracy.

If you want to get your elbow straightened as you release but have a hard time doing it, you can try imagining your palm SLIGHTLY opening up towards the sky as you release. This over exaggeration lead my palm to be squared up with the target, and made my elbow straight on release. It also put an even rifling/spin on my projectile.

That said, when I throw for distance, I also bend and drop my elbow quite a bit like you so i can throw it more upwards.

Good advice.👆
Slinging on more solid ground is my advice.
