Hip action is very important in providing support and power in the punch. I agree with 6bmike's comment

"Sounds like you were using a Sweep release and Ben is employing a snap release which needs the pivot to work a tad longer with an aiming point.

just my 2 pennies."

I think you should focus more on your left arm than your right. At the top at change of directions the left arm is welded accross the chest and the trail shoulder should work down plane . Providing the trail shoulder is driving downplane PP4 will be maintained past the ball with the left arm blasting off the chest well past impact. Brian talks about this with the drunk on the left shoulder being lifted upwards and backwards and his frizbee throw descriptions. I get the feeling this is missing in your action.
