Well, the first thing is to make sure only your nail is touching the disc, no skin, because skin contact slows the disc dramatically.
Secondly, it depends on your nails. Are you using plastic? If you are, then try a different sort, some plastics just slow down the disc too quickly
Thirdly, if the problems is skin contact, rather than nails (i mean that the disc just rides into your skin because of its procession), than try some with the spin cranks (in the rim) to get the feel of a wrist cycle (you can read about cranks on heinsville.com). This will help you keep nail-only contact.

PS
check out the FPA forums on freestyledisc.org/learn_to_jam/ as well if you have more questions. There have been several interesting how-to threads there recently

Don’t forget to spray the disc with silicone spray. It must be slick. Curve
your finger so you only let the nail touch the disc. With a rim delay you either
you’re moving your hand in the direction of the spin, or you’re turning your
wrist. A rim delay really only needs to last for at the very most a couple of
seconds. For example, let’s say it’s clock spin, if you do an under the rim
delay with your left hand under your right leg, it should take between a half a
second and a second to do the rim delay, then you release the disc.
A behind the back rim pull, there is a lot of wrist motion and after you pull
the disc from behind your back you should release it into the air and then
move on to the next move. This move could take two seconds.
