Hammer technique
- Same grip as flick
- Arm motion similar to football throw - cock back behind head, lead with elbow, follow
with rest of arm and snap wrist to finish
- Release point varies based on obstacles in the way
- No obstacles, release point in front of face for speed of delivery
- Yes obstacles, release point above crown of head for height
- Snap wrist hard for maximum spin in order to keep shape
- Angle the disc so that it drops properly at the target
Scoober technique
- Same grip as flick / hammer
- Different arm motion - across the body chop instead of cock back and throw
- Spin still a key component of disc shape stability
Same partners, 20 hammers, 20 scoobers
Angling the disc on backhands / flicks
- With enough spin, disc will hold the same angle as the release angle
- Can be used to avoid obstacles
- Can be used to accommodate for wind direction
Pop passes - throwing a high release backhand
- Spin the disc by open up wrist while throwing the disc upwards
- Maintain flatness of the disc until release
