What are four ways to throw the frisbee?
Here are four of the many ways to throw a Frisbee: Backhand- This is the typical disc throw. When an average person picks up a disc, this is how they throw it. Take the disc with four fingers around the rim and thumb on top. Put the disc across your body and snap your wrist and point forward. Forehand- This is more of an advanced throw. Here is the easiest way to describe it. Take your hand and make a gun with it, the barrel being your pointer and middle fingers. Put those two fingers on the outer side of the rim. Take your other two fingers and grip them on the inside of the rim. Put oyur thumb on top and hold tight. Now instead of holding the disc across your body like a backhand, hold it out to the side of you. Now snap your wrist and let go of the disc. Hammer- This throw is tricky for beginners. Take the disc with the same grip as the forehand. When you throw this, either take a step forwards of backwards (I prefer backwards). When you are throwing the disc, you throw it at about a 45 degree angle above your head, upside down. When i say upside down, I mean the logo on the disc is facing the ground or yourself when you release it. When you release the disc over your from behind you to over your head at a 45 degree angle, put a lot of snap in your wrist. A LOT. This way the disc will flatten itself out in the air. Scuber- This is a strategic throw and must be treated as such. The sole reason someone would throw this throw is to get the disc over and past a tough cup defense. To throw it, you hold the disc like a forehand. now hold it upside down (logo to the ground) and hold it over your shoulder. Now snap your wrist and move your hand up towards the sky so it floats high and level (parallel to the ground).
