ultimate frisbee throws

[RedSaskatoon]

@ha1ofanII7 terrible throw??? when you're being marked and you're able to throw underneath the arm/hand block for a point? Have you played much ultimate? Watch some of the world juniors (read: americans vs. ANYBODY) and you'll see a ton of these throws being made. VERY valuable throw to know how to do, and experience from playing will prove when to throw these and when not to (read: air bounce huck).

[mutigerss]

You think way too highly of that "cool catch."

[gahowe02]

Travel travel travel!!!!!

[SuperTraktorista]

you should see our tricks with aerobie disc :-D especially after some good smoke it's fun

[starringuandi]

I always get stuck throwing with someone who cant throw!! The frisbee will end up in the lake or the neighbors yard!!

[BillyBobsEel]

@starringuandi Good practice for catching

[krnm4n14c]

@ha1ofanII7 scoober uses the same grip as the hammer/flick but it's from the opposite shoulder, and not over the head

[howtothrowlikeapro]

you can perfectly throw an airbounce in windy conditions, as long as you release it very low.

And that throw is spelled 'scoober' :)

[TheAwesomeJayandGray]

just when I thought I was starting to get good....

[as428tt]

u guys are really good. Could you please make a video with more forehand throws? I'd really like to see more so that I can copy your throwing motion.

[as428tt]

[naughtymachinegun]

when hydronating the first throw remember to put both 1egs in x position so that you arms are more wind stab1e

[kaisersiggi]

"cool" catch

[Krallet]

Thats just gay -.-

[themaingoose]

kinda cool... sort of gay... but ok...

[fatnolefan86]

possibly a pt 2 w/ a thumber, scoober, a high release bh, and a couple IO's. and gotta put a couple greatests in there too.

[karl7300]

great vid, i can do all those throws and more, the thummer, the bouncer, the discus, and one me and my friends call the bill throw, i love ultimate Frisbee, 5 stars man!

[BBproductions7300]

wow great vid i love ultimate and i can do all those throws plus one, the bouncer, no good in a game but its cool at the right angle you can get it to bounce off the pavement

[rjcollins72]

the hammer (overhead) is a pretty easy throw if you know how to do it

[huyiy]

the very first throw, its seems like its pushing itself higher as it goes, how do you do that

[franspasschier]

it's a combination of lots of spin and the right angle of release. If done more extreme it's referred to as an air-bounce.

[Carpet531]

i though you throw it like that when the wind blow toward you. as you throw the disc, you push it down, at an angle upward or not. b.c. the wind take care of it

[CormiersCorner]

Yeah, basically you spin it more and throw it straight but angled upwards, so going against the angle gives it the push upwards. It does take a few throws to get used to, as easy as it sounds.

[fatcow69moose]

Use a control grip ( regular backhand with finger along side) push down with your thumb as you release. and put a good amount of spin with the finger along the side.

[fatcow69moose]

Just press down with you thumb at the release and aim slightly down and the pushing of the thumb will make it bounce up. its called an air bounce.

[aznXathletic]

CLEAN THROWS

[WhozYourVladdy]

overhead? it's called a hammer, bud.

[franspasschier]

hammer and overhead are both common terms for a throw over the head.

[franspasschier]

@WhozYourVladdy - hammer/overhead = the same

[ChanimalX10]

@WhozYourVladdy Hammers win games!!!

[cuccs09]

nice!

[rogue9876]

What kind of frisbee is this??????

and where can u buy it?

[franspasschier]

its a discraft 175 gram, the standard disc for ultimate frisbee

[PapaHail]

Daddy Yankee? Really? You couldn't find something better?? 1 star.

[franspasschier]

I like daddy yankee (there I said it) so I couldnt find anything better..

[BFCage]

is it just me or ultimate frisbee's seem to fly more smoothly than a rgular frisbee?

[franspasschier]

well, they are just the regular 175 gram disccrafts, if thats what you mean. maybe the slowmotion make the flight appear more smooth ;)

[Patrickorox]

I throw mine with 4 fingers over the top and my thumb lining the rim of the underside what is that called? its like a flick i guesse?

[franspasschier]

it would say that its a thummer..

[TheRlt13]

i throw that as well and its my farthest throw but i dont use it in games cuz a forehand is much better in games. i thought that throw was called a laser though, cuz i thought a thumber was something similar to a hammer...

[franspasschier]

know what you mea, dont know what its called

[tecdek]

If you are referring to a backhand throw with all four fingers on top all of the people i play with call it a biscuit.

[frizspin175]

There's an ultimate team at my high school, but there are a lot of pot-heads on the team. Even so I still love to play ultimate with them.

[franspasschier]

yeah, sometimes the two go together.. but if they play hard and fair, it's such a cool sport.

[Sakura4774]

I love ultimate frisbee! its really really new in New Zealand, but luckily one of our teachers at school used to play for the Canadian national side, and has got us started! its great fun, and we're still learning. Lol

p.s i could not do a FOREHAND throw if my life depended on it!!!

[franspasschier]

good to hear. A friend of mine is actually playing nationals in Christchurch in a few weeks or so (that is New-Zealand right?)

forehand is no problem, you'll see in a few months. keep them flying

[AeNick07]

Isnt everything really New in New Zealand??

[nitzguy1010]

snap your wrist more. =)

[CamM86]

Ill have to say the neglected to give mention to the thumber (also known as the beach throw) and no attempt even at catching behind the back (worth 2 points in some leagues.

[StLDooley]

What collegiate/club, UPA sanctioned league would that be?

[picusik]

good boys,pretty lay-out

[gotbigmac]

it can eather be called the "overhead" or "hammer", iv also herd it called the "submeriean"* or "Punt" in Ultimate... but i call it the Hammer

[franspasschier]

forehand/flick/sidearm: all the same thing.. once more for all viewers, I never intended on making a clip with all throws, just me and a friend goofing around :)

[electricallyyou]

u guys r pros man. i wish i could throw like u guys.

[kcinyuiop]

the "forehand" is called a flick as i know it. the over head is a hammer. and u didnt get the thumb flick. but u rock as frisbee.

[franspasschier]

..and several other throws (see reply above)

[lilblig77]

You forgot the greatest.....

[germskr]

the "cool catch" thing at the end wasn't too spectacular... sorry.

[franspasschier]

don't be. I like the term and sure, I've seen far more cooler catches out there. maybe you could show me yours?

[calman877]

lay-out is not a frisbee throw, although it was very nice.

[TheBluntman954]

that overhead is a "hammer" what about the thumber, scoober, chicken wing, high/low releases. You look like you know what your doing.

[franspasschier]

well, you're right. I wasn't planning to make this clip but since I had the footage I thought I might as well make a short movie out of it. Unfortunately no other throws at this point. maybe next time ;)

[Ducksown]

Man, I know a thing or two about frisbee on a cold winter's day... And, my movie's on youtube as well! Sadly, we have nobody else to play with. Good stuff.
