Hucking,Offense,Psychology,Systems,Throwing 15 September 2010

A general rule of thumb I like to follow is this:

Huck from Zone A; don’t huck from Zone B. In Zone A, use shallow/deep cuts (ie horizontal stack); in Zone B, use break side/open side cuts (ie vertical stack).

Several factors affect this general rule:

1. What the Defense is running against your Offense – if they’re running a zone then maybe you want to try and work it up the field. Or maybe you want to huck right away for field position so you don’t turn the disc over close to your end zone.

The key to advancing from short throws to long throws is not about using more effort, it’s about using more of your body. In your throwing practice you should think of your arms as being loose like the strings of this monkey drum (http://www.thenurseryshop.com/image/cache/House_Of_Marbles_Monkey_Drum-500×500.jpg). Seek velocity and distance in your throws not from the strength in your arms, but from the motion of your hips and core which transfer kinetic energy to your arms the way rotating a monkey drum handle swings the beads to hit the drum.

This is an instructional video talking about using your core when hucking and the importance of spin on your hucks. You can gain more power using your core and you can control the flight of the disc in any condition with more spin on the frisbee.
