- Bring your arm back
- Bend your wrist so that it is perpendicular to your forearm
- Drop your throwing shoulder a few inches below your other shoulder
- Finally, begin the throw with your elbow leading the way
- Make sure to flick your wrist with a quick snap so that your middle finger is the last point of contact with the disc
- Grip the edge of the disc so the entire disc rests behind your hand
- If the disc lands on its side and rolls soon after release, try dropping your throwing shoulder more
- There is little rotation from the shoulder in this throw, which comes from the snap of the wrist
- Make sure to maintain some distance between you and your partner, because the disc will leave your hand with a lot of spin and velocity
