Learn2 Throw a
Flying Disc (Continued)
Method 1: The Basic Backhand
Throw
 Release the disc
 Here's where it all comes
together - with the final two components, release
point and wrist snap.
- Be aware of where the disc is while your arm
is in motion. The point in the motion at which
you release the disc will determine where the
disc goes: left, right or straight ahead.
- As you release the disc, snap your wrist
forward, so that the disc "jumps" off the side
of your first finger. This will impart spin to
the disc, and stabilize it in flight. The harder
you snap the wrist, the more spin the disc gains
and the better the throw will be.
- Be careful to keep your wrist in line with
your arm as you snap it. If you allow your thumb
to lift upwards, you'll lose control of the disc
and it won't go anywhere near its target.
Continue your arm motion after the disc jumps
off your finger. Known as "following through", this
will help direct the disc towards its target.
