The Swing
When a receiver gains possession of the disc and a downfield pass is not available, that player should look to make a swing pass. A short pass towards the middle of the field, immediately followed by a pass to the far side of the field, will advance the disc a few yards and free up areas for other players to cut to. Once the swing stops at the side of the field and no downfield passes are available, the disc swings back again.
This side to side motion keeps the disc moving, keeps the defense moving, and can eventually get the disc into the endzone even without long downfield throws.
