How To Throw A Scoober | Brodie Smith

A Scoober Diver!!!

I have been watching a lot of your videos, but I have one question: is there a specific way to release the forehand throw? when I release, the disc tends to tap the knuckle of my thumb then wobble in the air a little. It doesn't really affect accuracy, but every now and then the disc dives to the side.

[MrFLBoy22]

im in the navy seabees stationed in california, a big Florida Gators fan, and play with a bunch of friends out here. i enjoyed your videos and hope to improve my game tremidously. i was wondering how i get some of the Forida Gators Ultimate Frisbee shirts.

Scoober doober doo?

[saemj]

IMO the left to right scoober is almost useles. Better to throw a backhand there. What is great though is a right to left scoober, because that is the easiest imaginable break pass if you are forced backhand and the defender is standing on the left of the atacker, so the atacker has a easy time catching.

[HIPfreez226]

hey brodie im 14 and wondering what Frisbee i should use? i have adult small hands soo..

[jrdx]

You say release it vertical for distance, and you may be thinking that, but if you freeze the video right when you release it (3:38), it's most certainly not vertical. I see this a lot: people say one thing and even visualize it that way, but they do another thing. The forward is another great example where people say one thing but, when you look carefully at a video frozen right at the moment of release, it's not how they said. This can be very confusing for people learning it the first time.

[xlaportex]

@jrdx You really should release it vertically for the most distance, because that lets it cut through the air well and then turns over and not double helix. I imagine because Brodie doesn't toss up the scoober very often during the game he doesn't practice throwing it for distance, and it's very hard to apply a lot of force because it's a very awkward motion. He just defaulted to a motion for his body more like the backhand.

[affenkeks]

@jrdx actually this is a common thing in teaching most of the sports, and usually tends to help people a lot more than confusing them, even though i understand your point. Usually it only get confusing when you watch a close up, or slow-motion video. In teaching tennis for example we always tell students to "follow through the ball and lead it into the direction we want it in". Obviously thats nonsense, as your movement after contact doesnt affect the ball at all. But it really helps them.

Hi. I have a question. In a Frisbee game, what type of throws do you normally use? I know a couple of throws (flick, hammer, backhand, that's it,) but these other throws I see you demonstrate, do you think I need to learn them to become a pro Frisbee player?

[brodiesmith21]

@0gravity1994 The ones I use most are the forehand, backhand, hammer and lefty backhand. If the other team plays a lot of zone I will probably throw a few scoobers here and there.

[103Jammer]

hahaha scoober diver...i love this guy haha

[ConsoleGamerTV]

Man i want to join the UK/GB team :D

[charpentierjp1]

ever since i trained myself to throw a lefty scoober, I haven't been able to reteach my right hand to do the same motions. any pointers?

[djkells3]

what was the important thing at the end lol

[lowded135]

Pooper Scoober

[DirtRacerProductions]

What are the best frisbees to buy?

[SweeneyTodd2095]

@DirtRacerProductions Discraft is a great brand for ultimate frisbees. They make the Ultrastar, which is the official disc of the USA Ultimate team. So your best bet is one of those.

[superkoolkid1000]

Scoober diver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supsup516]

scoober doo

[jkddaddy]

scoober diver? no, try Scoober Scooper

[poolshark733]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT ND FRISBEE?!?!? GO Gators!

[sirgoodtimes]

I first learned of the scoober when my first coach said its a novelty throw with almost no use. That was the only piece of bad advice i got from him. The scoober is my favorite break mark throw. Even though I've been using this throw for 7 or 8 years I still found this video incredibly helpful. The flight path segment was extremely useful. Thanks Brodie.

[bobcow120]

What's the difference between scoobers and hammers? When would you use each one?

[BboyElectrix]

in the slow motion, the birds sound like women in labour

[53LaxBro]

a scoober diver!!!!hahaha

[berneresefan]

i watched this video yesterday. i had a game today and tossed a 20 yard scoober for the game winning goal. everyone was in shock and awe. thanks for teaching me the scoober

[brodiesmith21]

@berneresefan NICE!

[tdstudd1996]

A SCOOBERDIVER !!! WOOO!!! I WIN!!!

[brodiesmith21]

@Sivic Big gulps huh? Welp Cya Later

[HOOGSTRATEN100]

A shaggy?

[TheArmoCanadian]

Sickest thing: G.O.A.T threw a scoober in a game for a sick layout.

[superangelworld]

You call it a Scooby Dooby doooo! Ok not

[pfflierz]

what do you call it when you throw one of these throws really shittily?

a pooper scoober.

[ConorHanney]

where's the Mystery Machine, Scoober Doo?

lol.

[LeeLeeDee44]

A scoober diver!!

[pinasturla]

great vid!

[prometeus214]

one who lays out a scoober? isn't that what we call MONSTER? yah.. I think, that's the answer to the question. He's probably a MONSTER!

[clbembryjr]

Wooo finally. The scoober and the hammer are my two favorite throws. You should make an air-bounce video

[joshw604]

what do you call a mystery solving dog that catches that kinda throw?

[steelerfan786]

SCOOBER DIVER!

[Jco91]

scoober-do!

[kurodox]

Is there any rule saying that

at any point of time, there can only be a certain amount of attackers in the scoring zone???

[rad2tm]

@kurodox No.

[joshw604]

@kurodox nope, but probably the most you can have is 6 since the 7th guy would have the disc outside the endzone

[Lerkki]

@kurodox No there isn't. I think 4 is the optimal with 3 handlers outside the zone (this is how we roll). Any more and there isn't much space to move. Either a) the defender calls for pick or b) two guys charge at the same time thus preventing any passes.

[TheDbbernsy]

scoober diver! love these videos, just amazing.

[L3ftyGam3r]

you should do a video on the thumber!

[illegitimate0]

@L3ftyGam3r The thumber is kind of worthless in ultimate.

[steelerfan786]

@illegitimate0 nah, thumbers are great to break the mark against a backhand force. the only real problem is having to switch to the grip

[GabrielWoohooo]

Hi, is the release much like a hammer?

[Kayzennn]

A flaming homosexual

[TheBAGameing]

scuba diver!

[Nanis804]

Do you guys play cricket in Florida? Great way to practice your scoobers!

[unchuckable]

Will you please make a video on how to optimize your throwing face? In most pictures of people in the act of throwing a disc, their facial expressions are laughable. Tips on how to look like a badass when throwing a frisbee so I can look better in pictures would be appreciated.

[toucheJSHAYdynasty]

very nice, i didnt know long distance scoobers were possible, but then again might as well throw a hammer

[BiOAtKtv]

I love your videos... even though I'm from Madison ;)

[brodiesmith21]

Only 34 more for 100 likes!!! Lets do this!

[bradythestrak]

Great video Brodie....Question for you. Is there any reason an upside-down hammer cannot accomplish everything a scoober can? Apart from the wind up over the head, the hammer seems to be the same throw. And I think I can throw a hammer off quickly with some force off without taking a step, unlike the scoober. I'm not criticizing the scoober...just asking, since I have never learnt this throw.

Love all the tips man.

[illegitimate0]

@bradythestrak Short Distance hammers are much harder than scoobers and they have lower release points. The reason is that hammers need time to turn over and with short distance, there is no time, so it has to be released flatter. Your wrist has limited flexibility so to get it flatter you have to bend your arm more. This results in a lower release. But a scoober can be thrown with a high release quickly and flat because the angle is easier on your wrist.

[GetPwned95]

A scoober diver :)

[thelifeexamined]

This definitely shows me the value of a scoober to break a mark...one day I'm sure any handler worth anything will have this down solid even in wind...zone irrelevance(?)..guess I'll go work on it at league; I'm sure Joel can help me refine my technique...and your bro is a bit interesting dude...

[mrtretre100]

Is that an ND ultimate disk? woah i have the same one. why were you at ND?

[brodiesmith21]

@mrtretre100 I wasn't Connor goes to ND so I used his disc

[ConorHanney]

@brodiesmith21 yes. twas my disk.

[Drummerkid2495]

@mrtretre100 I want that ND Disk! Best college ever! And the Connor dude goes to there?? Holy shit, that's awesome.

[HaHaHaYaOwnsYou]

when you said "shift the disk upside down" It all made sense to me...jk no but Great vid actually did help alot!

[KingfisherTL7]

nice ND disc
