That pro sure can throw... This is an excellent video presentation with many small details on how to improve throwing for ultimate. This throwing a forehand sample is perfect to give to beginners who don't quite understand how it looks so easy to the experts but feels so wrong to them. Explaining the finer mechanics of each throw like this will no doubt speed up improvement.
uhm. is there any chance that you could post the tutorial for the hammer. i like your explanations,its clear and i can learn better. =) i am a newbie and needs advice.
@brodiesmith21 thanks brodie you saved us again. i was watching your vids just innocently youtube surfing when i came upon this then saw your comment and immediatley went to your channel again.
I don't know why everyone's giving you crap for the "no wrist" thing. I would totally agree that natural flick does come from the shoulder and elbow. However hucks and wind do require more of a balance of natural flick and wrist flick. Seems like it would be a great DVD for beginners though, good job (: P.S. don't worry about the critics, they're just looking for something to call you out on so they seem to know more about the game..... thus making them douchebags (:
I get a more natural and "easy" throw when I thick about the arm movement and just let the wrist do it's thing. If I force the wrist then the flick comes out off. However, if I "force" the arm to force a stronger wrist movement, it always turns out better. Much easier to get an IO. Now, at first it may feel less accurate and "looser" of a throw. But that's the same feeling you get when using a powergrip as oppose to the V grip. In time you will build the muscle memory for it.
I don't see the "no wrist" thing working well at all for longer throws. If you don't use your wrist to put extra spin on the disc, it just doesn't work very well. This is great for shorter throws, but when you're really trying to huck it, I don't think that leaving all of the flick motion to your shoulder will cut it... I think there's a fine balance to be struck between using your wrist too much and too little, but I think you have to use some power from it.
@sly741x No power without your body. A lot of people find it helpful to concentrate on their wrist at the beginning because they have trouble keeping it flat. Once they get the angle properly, they need to learn the full body motion so that they can get velocity and power.
@makemegocrazygirl i bought a few ultrastars off ebay, each was around 12 bucks. ebay name was disc_ace, shipping only took a few days and it was free. id recommend them cuz frisbees in stores are super expensive if you want quality, in my area anyway.
shouldn't you lunge forward with your non-pivot foot as you throw? This tutorial says the legs should just be slightly apart. That would be easily blocked by a marker.
No wrist? How can people take this seriously? Anyone who''s thrown a forehand knows that there is wrist involved. For power throws you have to involve your body more obviously, but there is still wrist stability and a flick motion (hence the term) that is very important to throwing it with control.
@brodiesmith21 -sure, and it's cool to share your opinion. but as you are somewhat established it looks a bit silly to start promoting your own video's here
Video gives some bad advice. If you want a good forehand, you point your extended foot out, almost backwards, so you can lower, not straight ahead. Also, flicking with your wrist adds touch to your forehand.
He looks like such a turd when he throws it like that. His formula for weight distribution, and his stipulations about bent knees and a projecting elbow are greatly exaggerated and mostly unnecessary. His arm's motion is excessive as well. His technique wouldn't allow for a Huck, or a throw of any real distance. You can see in the video how floppy and loose his throw is. Refer to Brody.

Great video. Clear and effective. I already have decent throws but this video is a good reminder of things to keep in mind.
@MMZinstructions It's not awkward at all. In fact, it looks extremely natural.
This video helped a lot!
You need your wrist in the throw. When I teach a flick, I have them use only their wrist at first.
Awesome guys! And way to rock the Cambocakes attire !
the wrist is the reason the frisbee goes
the snap doesn't come from the shoulder at all it's mostly the wrist
uhm.
is there any chance that you could post the tutorial for the hammer.
i like your explanations,its clear and i can learn better.
=)
i am a newbie and needs advice.
I got a question, what's a good frisbee to buy? where and howmuch does it cost?

You helped me so much!!!! Thank you for making this video. It has really helped! :D
You're supposed to use your wrist. Also, turning your plant foot slightly away from your body can increase the amount of trunk rotation you can use.

I like your video but the thing with your fingers at the end? Pointing directions that detailed to be followed i can not comprehend.

thats wierd because at my school everyone says you're not supposed to move your arm at all. Its all about the flick of the wrist.
hey, I actually use quite a bit of wrist, and it seems to turn out okay. first the elbow moves, but the wrist snaps it. many ways to skin a cat.

This is the only video on their channel
Brodie Smith Can you at least do the arrows that they use to help us, and go a little less faster??
Grip?
@franspasschier haha dude this is bad mechanics...trying to help people that don't know any better
good luck throwing a long forehand huck with this type of technique. to throw it far, u need to snap your wrist
Awsome video!!!!!!!!!!helped me alot
shouldn't you lunge forward with your non-pivot foot as you throw? This tutorial says the legs should just be slightly apart. That would be easily blocked by a marker.
how do you keep the disc flat? mine keeps flying with the right side higher than the left causing it to curve (I'm right-handed)
Nice flick but why u gotta wind up for so long

brodie says to use the wrist
Brodie Smith
aha no wrist? funniest thing ive heard today
Please give me all throws

lol 0:39
LOL it's mainly the wrist
if i had a dollar for every pixel in this video id have 1080 dollars because its 1080p video
To those who are really interested in learning how to throw a forehand, don't watch this. I suggest you watch brodiesmith21's videos instead.
Go to Brodie Smith guys he is better and shows you stuff like the wrist snap and how to hold it.
Lol Nederland
:v :^) :)

yay gay frisbee
That is a very bad position for a forehand! , Brodie Smith is waaay better.
This is horrible.
