Frisbee - How to throw 101

[@tntstuff]

It is actually called a "thumber" from the 1970's. It was used by John Bird to win distance competitions. It is Rarely if ever used in Ultimate. The so called flicker is called a two finger sidearm. If you pick up any book on Frisbee you can become very informed.

@HugeJohn51 he's teaching basics. your comment is for more advance players who know a bit more.

[@newbtuber333]

@brian2tu yea the chicken wing is more often the thumber, but the flick is the term the pros use

[@AndrewSobiesiak]

Daredevil discs ftw... Grips should be shown though and an explanation of how the angle a hammer is released at is very important for throwing hammers. That is like the 4th different throw I have seen called a chicken wing. Where I am from your chicken wings are 'thumbers'

[@AustinBowerVideo]

@HugeJohn51 your suppose to throw it by your sholder....not your knee area

if you want your frisbee to be straight, do you angle down your throw? or angle up?

[@Tartan]

The only time a backhand should go anywhere near your left shoulder is when you throw a high release.

[@Mewzyc]

the sledgehammer throw!

[@shillDK]

you should read his comment again then....

[@SparkleanUk]

niceeeeeeeeee

[@jib1000]

Frisbee = yawn Disc Golf = Yay So much more to disc golf than there ever will be to throwing a Frisbee.

[@HugeJohn51]

Dude, like I said- very few instances, do you think one backhand works in all situations? Do you think he knows what he is talking about? I'm just trying to be helpful to anyone who might watch this and think that is how to throw.

[@newbtuber333]

@VidN00b dont angle down, bad idea

[@KyleRichard]

I personally disagree..there really isn't any situation where the 'chick wing' would be more beneficial than using the forehand. If you can't get the distance you need with the forehand, then just practice it more

[@Renezohan]

making me hungry 'chicken wing'....

[@KakashiDominates]

'only works going downwind' false

[@HugeJohn51]

OMG this guy knows nothing...there is very few instances where you want to start a backhand from your shoulder, that's called high release and only works going downwind, otherwise you release from your knee-ish, certainly no higher than waist, but remember to aim slighty upwards so aim at recievers' waist or just above, that way you won't throw it into the ground. Way less affected by wind down there and won't get blown away. Upside down throw was a scoober.

[@theotheq]

he has the wrong finger layout for the forehand, what a nub
