The easiest and probably most commonly used throw. It is the most generic and natural way to throw a disc. You will put four fingers in the cup of the disc with your thumb on top. If you are a righty you would stand straight up, twist to the left, bend your wrist and elbow in front of you so they are in front of the disc. Then un-do all of that in ...
A flick is easy, but takes some practice and commitment. This is the most efficient throw in Ultimate because it uses the least amount of energy and can be thrown in milliseconds. Put 2 fingers (Pointer & middle) under the disc and your thumb on top. Throw as if you were trying to skip a flat rock on water. Keeping the disc parallel with the ground...
Very useful when the time is right. The hammer throw can be lofted over the defense and landed directly onto the intended teammate. It is also good when someone is marking you hard and nearing the end of the stall count. You can easily throw is over the marker if need be. To throw a hammer (righty) simply pretend like you are throwing an axe. First...
Much more complicated then a regular backhand. A high release is done with an almost straight arm above the shoulder. Most of the discs propulsion will come solely from the wrist in a snapping motion. Should be thrown with an almost straight arm at a 45 degree angle. Most of the discs forward motion will be from snapping your wrist for spin. Very e...
A little easier than the high release, but still difficult. A low release follows the same arm motion as a regular backhand. But it is meant to be released just a few inches from the ground, the closer the better. One would have to take a big lunge outward and reach low. Takes a lot of practice because the ol’ knee tends to get in the way. Be sure ...
Difficult to maneuver but very useful if done right. With a straight arm at a 45 degree angle above the shoulder flick your wrist in the same motion as a normal flick. Keep the disc as level with the ground as possible. The disc will not want to cooperate so make sure to have the best grip you can and to throw it quickly. This is tough and can only...
This will probably be the hardest throw to learn, it always is. Take a big long lunge to the side your throwing on and sink as low as possible. The goal is to release a flick just inches from the ground in hopes of going under a defenders swinging arms. When throwing, your elbow should just barely make it past your knee. You want to release it at a...
With your thumb in the cup of the disc and all four fingers on top stretch your arm out. Your arm should be straight and parallel with the ground with the disc as far away from your shoulder as possible. Pull your straight arm back and bend your wrist back as far as it goes to charge up the throw and spring it forward (still parallel with the groun...
Awesome throw for indoors. This throw is thrown differently by everybody so I’ll teach my way. With a slightly bent arm hold the disc like a backhand at a downward 45 degree angle in front of you. Bend your knees a little bit. In one motion lift up your arm and straighten it, unbend your knees, and give the disc a tiny bit of spin as you release it...
Commonly used in indoor Ultimate. You hold the frisbee like a backhand but more lined up with the shoulder you are throwing from. When throwing a backhand righty the disc rotates clockwise. You want a push pass to do the same. So push yourhand a little to the left shoulder, spinning the disc clockwise as you push and giving it a little momentum. A ...
