What’s the Best Place to Buy a Frisbee (Disc)?

 Main,Throwing 3 July 2010

I’ve had a lot of people ask me in the last few weeks about where they can buy a disc from for ultimate frisbee. Now, since all of the people live in different cities, I had a few suggestions for them. First I’ll talk about what I think is best in a disc and then where you can buy them from.

I’ve had some requests to film a video showing me throwing hammers so people can see my technique and my footwork. This is a sample of me throwing hammers (it was super windy so they are floating more than they normally would) so let me know what you think!

Thanks for the comments and requests!!

Controlling the Disc in the Wind

 Practice,Throwing,Videos 16 April 2010

A big part of being a good thrower is having the ability to throw in the wind. In order to be a good thrower in the wind, you must learn to control how the disc moves and learn how to throw with edges on the disc. There are 3 edges – inside/out, outside/in and flat. This video illustrates the 3 edges and when you should throw each one.

Planes of the Forehand – Throwing Tips

 Forehand,Throwing,Videos 14 April 2010

This video discusses how to diagnose your throw if it’s wobbling on the release. This is usually due to your wrist ‘breaking’ on the snap instead of keeping your palm facing up. To correct this you can have the disc dropped below horizontal to start and then as you snap, your natural tendency to bring the disc up will have the disc release flat.

Rule of the Week – Traveling

 Main,Rules,Throwing 8 April 2010

Everyone has traveled - but how many times are they called on it? When is a good time to call a travel on someone? When is a bad time to call a travel on someone? These are all important questions but it’s important to understand what a travel is before you call it on someone.

The USA Ultimate 11th Edition describes a travel as:

J. Traveling: The thrower must establish a pivot at the appropriate spot on the field and keep all or part of the pivot in contact with that spot until the throw is released. Failure to do so is a travel and results in a stoppage of play and a check.

Throwing Outside Part 2 – March 25, 2010

My buddy Tyler and I went throwing outside and I set up the video camera to capture our throws. Getting out and throwing with someone is a great way to work on your throws but make sure to focus on having good form and thinking about where you want your throws to go. Also, learn how the disc moves through the air and practice reading the disc so you’ll be a better receiver/defender in a game.
