Disc/Frisbee Throwing
There are
a lot lot of different kinds of throws.Newer players should concentrate more on keeping the disc flat than trying to rip long drives. Distance will come with time and practice. Developing proper grip, form, and release will aid you in
the
long run
.Slide9
Back Hand Throw
The
back hand is the most basic of all of the throws. This grip is a compromise between power and control. The Grip: Hold the disc so that the part with the writing is on top. Take ball of your hand (the palm side opposite of the knuckle of your index finger) and place it against the edge of the disk. Wrap the last three fingers (middle finger on down) around the edge of the disc. Take your index finger and place the edge of the first knuckle (ie the one closest to your fingernail) on the bottom lip of the
disc
and curl
it
under lightly. Finally, take your thumb
and
lay it
on
the top of
the disc.

Back Hand Throw
Preparation
: Bring your arm across your body so that your upper arm is against your body. Move your arm forward quickly. Straighten your arm and, as it is almost fully extended, flick your
wrist and
release the Frisbee
towards
the target. Your wrist should snap with a
spring -
like motion. You should release the Frisbee
just above
your belly button so that it will fly in a straight
line instead
of up into the air.
Release
: Step forward with your front leg and whip your arm out while releasing the
disc
level. Make sure to follow
through. Slide11
