Tips on Throwing
• A disc flies by a combination of spin and air speed. The more spin you put on the disc, the more stable it will be.
• Throw the disc low and with lots of spin when playing in high wind or the disc will be lifted up and blown away.
• Keep all your throws short to medium length, no matter the conditions. Don’t just huck it and hope for the best.
• Practice patience. Once you get the disc, take your time, and make the first pass you are certain of completing.
• Anticipate and lead your player. Throw the disc where they will be, not where they are.
• Use fakes. Fake a throw you can’t make – the person marking won’t know and it can move them out of position. If you see your player cutting to one side, make a quick fake to the opposite side then come right back to make the pass.
• Extend yourself. Step as far in each direction as you can, stretching out from your pivot foot. You can get a total of ten to twelve feet of extension if you try. This will force the marker to move, freeing up space for you to throw.
