How to Flick a Frisbee Better by Ian Merringer Do your Frisbee throws involve silent prayers to unseen gods that your efforts will neither embarrass you nor injure distant bystanders?
The forehand flick is not only easy to control, but it looks way cooler on the beach than the standard backhand throw. The throwing motion is similar to a forehand tennis stroke, except instead of relying on the shoulder or upper arm, it relies on the forearm for forward momentum and the wrist for essential gyroscopic spin. Do: • Grip the disc with the index finger underneath, extended toward the middle. Your middle finger should be pressed against the inside rim of the disc and your thumb should be curled over the outside of the disc and resting on top in a comfortable position. • Stand in a sideways or slightly open stance, with your throwing hand behind your back leg and your wrist cocked. Bring your hand forward at waist level and as it passes your back leg stop it abruptly while you flick your wrist to spin the disc. Do not follow through as you would with a tennis stroke. Keep your hand behind your front leg at all times, but point in the direction you want the disc to travel wit
