For me it helps to distinguish 2 different situations. The first is where I explain someone a throw. Usually when I then try to show them the technique I throw the disc away :) In this situation just accept the fact this is going to happen because you're busy doing 2 things at once: throwing and trying to show the correct motion that you've just explained. Usually you can only do one of these things consciously.<br><br>The second situation is game time. In a game you should simply aim for > 90% completion of passes. So if you're scoober isn't up to par with that percentage, don't throw it.
