I've been playing tennis for about 6 years now and I've only just really started getting into ultimate. I find it's amazing how much of the bodily motion comes naturally and makes sense, but for some reason never had the mind to put it together with the grip.
@timothyegilligan Thanks! This is a great suggestion. The only reason I don't go further in depth is because I'm trying to keep the videos from being to long. In the future we will be doing a lot more videos that are more in depth. So more specific things that we can really break down.
@exeterdisc oh so your looking to throw an inside break? Well having a quicker release all comes down to shortening the motion with out losing power. If you watch the teaser video for the forehand you can see that just by snapping your wrist with a limited arm motion the disc can still have a lot of power. I would say to work on just getting more snap in your wrist and reduce the size of your arm motion. If you could take video and post it back here I could take a look.
@bslade86 I actually was taught to hold the disc tightly with all four fingers against the rim (this is how a lot of people teach the backhand grip). Over the years I evolved to the grip I have now. I really think its the best grip for power, spin, and keeping the disc accurate and having the control to throw inside out or outside in.
RACING HARD lol I used to be a master at this throw, but got into other throws like the backhand as well. Now I'm a pro at it and I forgot how to throw the forehead smh
Help. My throw looks good at first but it always turns over into the ground. I can through it good when I flick it, but if I go into the full motion, it turns over. What could be the problem?
Thanks for the advice on the quick release. How about the follow through? Starting at around 4:46 - I'm seeing big follow throughs. During a game situation - do you usually have the room for this or do you modify your technique to make it more compact (more linear than arcing?)
@steelerfan786 Hey. It sounds like if your low release backhand is coming to IO that your grip might need to be tweaked just a little bit. We can make a video on low release passes that will certainly help fix your problem and you will be breaking the mark at will soon!!!!
@butor20077 Florida Ultimate Already has that video out (Search Florida Ultimate Five Sponsorship). But if you are really curious how spike I can have a lot of fun filming that episode of Bro Tips.
Heya Brodie just wanted to thank you for your tutorial videos. I just started playing Ultimate Frisbee with a few friends of mine and I havn't ever picked up a frisbee before until a couple weeks ago. But watching your videos and practicing your methods have helped me a TON. Just wanted to give you a thank you. You are one of the few people I look up to and want to be like.
@clizzaster Well like I said I'm just explaining everything on how I do things. If you don't agree you certainly don't have to do anything I say. However, I would say that this type of grip has served me well over the years and I have had a lot of success throwing backhands and generating a lot of spin. One thing to think about is that I am 6'4 and thus have decent size hands. So my fingers aren't going to match up perfectly with you. Thanks for the comment.
@MrDuifs Well I don't want anyone to think that this is the only way to play or throw or anything. I'm just trying to show what I do. And I have had some success with this grip.
Hey brodie! i was wondering if you''ll give me permission to use your backhand, forehand and (original) trick shot videos for a project i have? it'll be most appreciated! thanks! reply soon! :))
@timbochung When you have a tight mark you want to practice on a quick release. The longer your windup and release the more likely the mark will mess with you and thus mess with your throw. Also you can work on pivoting to shift the mark to your right (breakside) which will give you more space to huck
Thx Brodie now my friends and i play Ultimate Frisbee, Do you reccomend a 175 gram over a 165 cause all i have is a 165 so is that good enough or do i need a 175 gram?
Hey Brodie, With your backhand grip, is the disc still coming off of your index finger, even though you have it more on the underside of the rim instead of inside it?
brodiiiiii what if iv goten so use to my finger on the rim of the disk that reduces the spin that i cant learn how to undo it is it still ok to do or is it BAD ENOUGH that i have to learn the right way ????or is it fine to keep it this way ???
Good video, but I'm not a fan of your grip recommendation. The more pressure you can put on the inside rim of the disc, the more spin you can generate. Putting the middle finger towards the middle of the disc reduces spin and is not necessary for stability. I'm not saying it's 100% wrong, but I would bet that most of the top throwers have their middle finger firmly against the inside rim of the disc.
@timbochung I def modify it sometimes. I try to stay with the arc because that movement really gets me that extra power. But sometimes I will have to change my follow thru so I don't knock someone out lol...have u checked my backhand huck video out yet?
hey what's the music that plays in the beginning of the video? sounds cool :) also great videos! My friends and I started to play Utlimate :D it's fun :)
do you have any tips on how to fix this problem that i have. i've been been playing ultimate for almost three years and recently have been working on my low release throws. my low release backhand IO's A LOT. is there a way i can fix that so i can throw flatter to in-cuts?
Brodie, I see a large audience for these videos in other countries. Can you please put the script of the videos in English in the description of the video. Then my friends and other who do not speak English can use online translators to read the script. Thanks!
your videos are the easiest to understand and very helpful, I've already improved. my form before was just some crap that I taught myself to do, no one ever showed me how to actually throw it right. thanks a lot man
For my reason,whenever I throw a backhand,I snap my wrist and after the disc leaves my hand,the frisbee tend to scrape my middle finger and it kinda hurts. Any tips?
I wore a batting glove on my throwing hand, rather than improving my technique. Of course, this was back in the 80's. We also drank heavily and smoked outrageous amounts of agricultural products from Maui, Puna and Kauai. Purely for medicinal purposes and relieving the pain caused by throwing the disc. Heh.
When I have my Finger on the rim the disc seems to be more stable than when i don't but you video says not to do that and the disc keeps turning over any tips?
I think it might be helpful explaining why you hold the disc a certain way. Rather than just saying you should have the disc pressed against your hand for example, you can say something like, "you really wanna press the disc against your hand because you need to have a strong grip." just my 2¢
Im sorry but imo if you want to learn to throw properly, you should watch how the disc golf pros drive. You get a pretty good idea on the body movement and what your hand and wrist should do. After that its easy to throw those short snapshots in ultimate
I know this has nothing to do with this video but the Ron Paul ad that come on before it had little a splash sound that I am pretty sure got stole from minecraft. lol
Hey brodie, do you know anyone called Mr. thakra, i dont know his first name hes my teacher, but he plays for the england frisbee team and he says he has met you
Thank you so much, Brodie. You're a great player and a great teacher. But why not shoot the vid again, this time in a quiet place without wind and background boom boxes? That destroys the experience. Thanks again.
hey brodi,your wicked, what throw could i do to amaze my friends, i am pretty good. me and my friend will be posting a frisbee trick shot video soon,please watch,it will be called brodi smith juniors.

@timbochung def...i actually love it when the mark is crazy...easy to break

@ChanimalX10 Just trying to show how the stuff we teach relates to in game play.
@colbrio1 On the way. We are actually currently working on that. Nothing like throwing a 80 yard flick.
@bslade86 I actually was taught to hold the disc tightly with all four fingers against the rim (this is how a lot of people teach the backhand grip). Over the years I evolved to the grip I have now. I really think its the best grip for power, spin, and keeping the disc accurate and having the control to throw inside out or outside in.
I'm a frisbee backhand man
I've mastered it
RACING HARD lol I used to be a master at this throw, but got into other throws like the backhand as well. Now I'm a pro at it and I forgot how to throw the forehead smh
@Splahhhh love it!
Help. My throw looks good at first but it always turns over into the ground. I can through it good when I flick it, but if I go into the full motion, it turns over. What could be the problem?
+Michael OBrien You are pulling the disc. You can't allow your body to turn. I have a video on my channel showing this problem.
@Apollys let me know how it goes for you
Thanks for the advice on the quick release. How about the follow through? Starting at around 4:46 - I'm seeing big follow throughs. During a game situation - do you usually have the room for this or do you modify your technique to make it more compact (more linear than arcing?)
@JOEMan9012 Will def do that. Make sure you subscribe so you get all the videos when I post them.
What are you doing at 3 am?
Me: watching this
Hahaha that’s exactly what I was doing when I read this 😂
@thebrend88 Well that always helps!!!
I am just starting my frisbee adventure and this video was very helpful. Thanks a bunch :D
Lucky you. You're in for some really good times. get ready to meet some really good people too.
Lol this was 10 years ago,but it's still really helpful thank you so much 😁👏

@ConsoleGamerTV age is just a number! Try to flatten the disc out more and more wrist snap.
@unkjoe I can see...those discs are sold by the team and I'm not sure who is in charge anymore
@nikegolferxl you wouldnt mind helping an old friend out on how to "huck" a backhand?
@bencarrel I have a video on how to throw in the wind...check it out
@Jzman4044 you have to have alot of spin because it makes it go far and accurate and the wind won't blow it out of the air
@Crastics07 So the frisbee i use is a 175gram discraft disc. Not sure what your asking.
Who’s still here in 2024?
@exeterdisc are you talking about the backhand or forehand?
@furiousgoats haha my favorite throw. We will def do a video on that. I think next on the board is just the basic forehand.
@vagons9 Yea were working on a link for the song! Stay tuned
@wesandjoe15 no clue
@toddhelton Were shooting 2 hours of video today!!! So let us know what you guys are wanting.
@clizzaster Well like I said I'm just explaining everything on how I do things. If you don't agree you certainly don't have to do anything I say.

@LilChaoster don't forget my fav...high release lefty backhands...got it added to the list!

@butor20077 If we can get more than 20 thumbs up I will show you my best spikes!
Thx Brodie now my friends and i play Ultimate Frisbee, Do you reccomend a 175 gram over a 165 cause all i have is a 165 so is that good enough or do i need a 175 gram?
@clizzaster Acutally for the forehand everyone should roughly have the same grip...the backhand can be a little different
Hey Brodie,
With your backhand grip, is the disc still coming off of your index finger, even though you have it more on the underside of the rim instead of inside it?
brodiiiiii what if iv goten so use to my finger on the rim of the disk that reduces the spin that i cant learn how to undo it is it still ok to do or is it BAD ENOUGH that i have to learn the right way ????or is it fine to keep it this way ???

im watching this in 2020 and i watched this every single year
you should make a tutorial of how to to do the slap shot
@timbochung I def modify it sometimes. I try to stay with the arc because that movement really gets me that extra power. But sometimes I will have to change my follow thru so I don't knock someone out lol...have u checked my backhand huck video out yet?

do you have any tips on how to fix this problem that i have. i've been been playing ultimate for almost three years and recently have been working on my low release throws. my low release backhand IO's A LOT. is there a way i can fix that so i can throw flatter to in-cuts?
Brodie,
I see a large audience for these videos in other countries. Can you please put the script of the videos in English in the description of the video. Then my friends and other who do not speak English can use online translators to read the script.
Thanks!
i never new there was so much effort in throwing a
Frisbee
Hey Brodie,
when I throw my backhand I can't get it to go straight. It always ends up going way out then back in. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks
I have an ultimate frisbee tournament today
Bruh I'm just trying to learn this 4 8th grade PE
your videos are the easiest to understand and very helpful, I've already improved. my form before was just some crap that I taught myself to do, no one ever showed me how to actually throw it right. thanks a lot man
Nice to see high quality tutorials about this... Probably one the best (series of) tutorials I saw on youtube about any subject. Thanks!
For my reason,whenever I throw a backhand,I snap my wrist and after the disc leaves my hand,the frisbee tend to scrape my middle finger and it kinda hurts.
Any tips?
DarkMarachi.AGP try removing all your fingers at thee same time
Silvia
The same thing happens to me.
I wore a batting glove on my throwing hand, rather than improving my technique. Of course, this was back in the 80's. We also drank heavily and smoked outrageous amounts of agricultural products from Maui, Puna and Kauai. Purely for medicinal purposes and relieving the pain caused by throwing the disc. Heh.
When I have my Finger on the rim the disc seems to be more stable than when i don't but you video says not to do that and the disc keeps turning over any tips?
He is explaining as if it is the nuclear physics 😂😂😂
its called an airbounce! go search it up! brodie teaches it!! :)
I think it might be helpful explaining why you hold the disc a certain way. Rather than just saying you should have the disc pressed against your hand for example, you can say something like, "you really wanna press the disc against your hand because you need to have a strong grip." just my 2¢

Thank you so much, Brodie. You're a great player and a great teacher.
But why not shoot the vid again, this time in a quiet place without wind and background boom boxes? That destroys the experience.
Thanks again.
Hey! Can you Ship your Frisbees to Singapore?
u ever play disc golf? i dunno if the frisbee u use is same as discs as in disc golf but if similar do u use the same techniques?
Frisbee football? Ive never heard of such a thing.
@clizzaster Not that I know which way is or isn't the best, but I'm pretty sure Brodie is one of "the top throwers".
ive seen some people throw a backhand frisbee that goes downwards, then goes back up. down up; how do you do that?
What would you advise for practicing in high winds?? because I normally Britain doesn't have a non windy day
hey brodi,your wicked, what throw could i do to amaze my friends, i am pretty good.
me and my friend will be posting a frisbee trick shot video soon,please watch,it will be called brodi smith juniors.
