Backhand grip throw
The above diagram shows the forehand grip with the index & middle fingers extended sitting under the Frisbee, the ring and little finger outside the disk and the thumb on top.
Forehand grip throw
A hammer is an overhead throw held with the forehand grip. The advantages of throwing a hammer are: It’s difficult to stop from a mark It doesn’t float as much as a flick/backhand, getting to its spot quicker making it difficult to block.
Overhead/hammer throw
mark. It has the same grip as the forehand and hammer.
Scoober
the act of putting pressure on the top of the disc so it starts down then rises up to your receiver can be used effectively
Air bounce -
It can be very difficult to put a lot of touch on it, and often comes in too fast or wobbly, to throw a short-range throw on your naturally dominant flick side. The best time to use this throw in Ultimate is when your handler runs up line when you are marked force forehand or flat.
Lefty backhand
If you can’t figure out the lefty backhand, try this throw. Contrary to its name, the high release flick it does not share the same mechanics of a regular flick. Slide your pointer and middle finger up on the edge and rotate your wrist while moving your arm up.
High release flick (elevator forehand)
a high release backhand that is a great choice for a mid-range break throw when being marked backhand. The high release helps get the disc over the marks hands. The nature of the release, the high arc gives the disc more touch, so you are able to lead your receiver.
Elevator backhand
shares the same grip as a backhand, but we are going to bring our pointer finger to the rim of the disc. A push pass is great for throwing a short range pass on your flick side. Avoid throwing push passes against the wind, as they don’t generate a lot of spin.
Push pass
Even if you don’t use this throw out in a game, just breaking it out on the sideline will draw some eyes. It’s a fan favorite, one of the rarest throws in Ultimate.
Pizza pie
an impressive (but usually failing) attempt at diving to catch the Frisbee.
Bid
an extreme version of the reverse curve - a forehand throw (for right handers) that goes high in the air and curves left.
Blade
to prevent good cuts by standing in the way of your teammates.
Clog
like a hammer throw but the Frisbee is held in a backhand grip rather than a forehand grip.
Corkscrew
a foul.
Hack
a long throw; equivalent to a bomb in football.
Huck
the throw that begins the possession, much like a kickoff in football.
Pull
a backhand throw to the left that curves right (for right handers); or a forehand throw (for right handers) to the right that curves left.
Reverse curve
