    Brodie, you are the reason why I'm able to throw a 70 yard flick today. Thank you.

    College ultimate player here! I see a lotttttt of comments pertaining to disc wobble and I think I might be able to help out a bit.

    @REGROSS527 Very good question. The reason I like keeping the disc vertical is for a couple different reasons. 1) It allows me to us fakes a lot faster and easier 2) I will be able to generate more spin on the disc by using towel whip method 3) If your able to throw a hammer it allows you to go straight into a hammer throw.
    Hope that helped!!!

    I've been working on this throw for a while now. This video has been a huge help. My forehand is getting nearly as much distance as my backhand now! And I'm able to pinpoint location! Brodie, you rock dude.

    That vertical tip starting out was something I was suprised/impressed to see. When I just started learning flicks I had trouble straightening the disc, but if you start with the disc down it got a lot easier. Good work here.

    I have no relations with Ultimate Frisbee. I never play it. I really appreciate the detail he really puts in these videos. It makes it really interesting. Good job!

    Hey Brodie thanks for the tips. I started just playing frisbee in my yard with my friend about a year and a half ago. Over the year and a half. I have learned how to throw a hammer, forehand, skip, backhand, and a few others. All from your videos. Thanks a lot!

    @TheCardsfan24 Have you watched my How to throw a forehand huck? If not take a peek at that and see if that clears it up. If you still have problems I can try and help ya. Thanks for the question!

    One of the things I really like about both this and the backhand video, are when you encourage players to practice throws with just a limited wrist snap. Learning that solid wrist snap will make the transition to high releases, low releases, or other throwing variations much easier. I also like when Alex gets that cute little dimple when he throws in slow motion. Can you do a video on how to do that?

    Ok, I've been to other videos about flick throws, but by far this is THE most descriptive and most helpful video to the point that i can actually finally throw with a flick. Thank you Brody for posting. Now for a game of ULTIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!

    @DondaLonda Oh this isn't basic at all. Actually this is something that is not looked at enough. A video will be coming shortly with this! Thanks!

  • @BrodieSmith

    A question that has been asked a lot. I would highly recommend only using 2 because that will give you the maximum distance and accuracy.

    My goal is to join my school's frisbee club, but I want to get down the basic throws like the forehand and the hammer. It took me nearly 4 hours of practice, but I finally got it down! Flight path is nearly straight almost every time and I tried my max distance with it and it was about 25-30 yards straight! My forearm is sore, but it is totally worth it! Thanks Brodie for helping me sort out my forehand throw!

    @biblicalsoultaker Extending those last 2 fingers helps you stabilize the disc in your hand better. Gives you better control on throwing the disc not just straight, but also when you start to curve the disc. We can make another video showing why its important later if you like.

    @tedhellcaster Well i think something that will help you is not over cutting. A lot of people think to play great offense you need to be running the entire time making hard cuts when in fact its more important to make less cuts, but the right ones. Does that answer your question?
