Method 1: The Basic Backhand Throw

Step 3Gain the necessary force

Remember, the force in this throw comes not only through arm strength, but from your weight (and body mass) shifting forward as well.

  • Bring your arm forward with some force. Not a desperate heave, but a smooth, disciplined action. The disc should remain at an angle to the ground, although that angle may be decreased in a natural, swinging motion. Practice a few times, back and forth, before releasing the disc.

As you bring your arm forward, shift your weight forward and take a slight step ahead with your front foot. This will add force to the throw, so that your arm doesn't have to do all the work.
