(Music Playing)
I would like next to teach you a little bit about throwing the disk.
Disk is much like any flat object like a playing card or record album CD. It flies best when you throw it flat—when you say a flat, flip-fly straight. It does not matter if the force is not really the key to throwing a disk well. It is really more about finesse. So if you can get the disk flat and start with a momentum moving forward, it will go pretty much to way you direct it.
So, the idea here is the movement initiates from the hips, translates from the hips going down, opposite the direction that you are throwing, coming up in the direction that you are throwing, finishing with a snap of the wrist. So, I will show one. (Music Playing – Demonstration)
So, the key is starting from the waist , the energy is going to move down and up in our position, down, the lower part of my body will move in up position. I will be pushing away from the direction, the upper part would be moving towards the direction. So, I take the disk, start in the waist, move forward and throw it. So, that is the key, its getting this motion of starting here, moving forward and finishing with the snap of the wrist, like that. (Music Playing – Demonstration)
So, that is a little about the throw—coming from the waist, ending with the snap over the wrist, flat flip-fly straight. The key to all of this is what we say in the fuzzy world, most fun wins. So, if you are playing a great game of this ball, free styling playing ultimate when it is all set and done, it is really if you had the more fun than everybody else, you are the biggest winner. Thank you.
