What's the best way to throw a Frisbee when playing Frisbee golf?

Question

My technique is horrible! How do you properly hold it? Release it?

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

I assume you are using a backhand, since most people use backhand for driving.

The first thing to check is the grip. Your 4 fingers should all be curled around grasping the rim, the forefinger should not be on the outside.

Second, a good backhand is not thrown with the arm, the power comes from the legs. Your arm should be straight and loose, do not start by bending your elbow. Your body is like a whip, with your arm as the lash. It should be loose so the power from the legs and back can flow through it.

If you have played badminton, a power backhand is exactly like hitting a low return on your backhand side. (for a right hander) your right leg steps towards 10:00, so your back is facing the direction you are throwing. Your backbone winds up like a spring as your hips rotate around to face the front while your shoulders remain facing back, and then your back releases and the shoulders whip around, dragging the arm with them. This is where the power is magnified - but only if the arm is 100% loose, so the power can flow through it.

There is a good description on the upa.org website, though I don't know the URL offhand.

Disc golfing - confident. genuine golfing takes a lot time to strengthen and is so complicated. You play with a physically powerful participant after which you sense dissed, because of using playing with them. each and every shot feels like it is going on the instant into the woods. while Disc golfing is relaxing, i could even desire superb Frisbee.

towards the goal? or around an obstacle in front of the goal.
