Turn your body to face your throwing partner

If you throw with your left hand:

1. Step out further with your left foot; as wide as is comfortable while ensuring that you can maintain your balance
2. Rotate from the waist so you can see your throwing partner, and in one smooth motion rotate your torso and flick your wrist to release the throw

If you throw with your right hand:

1. Step out further with your right foot; as wide as is comfortable while ensuring that you can maintain your balance
2. Rotate from the waist so you can see your throwing partner, and in one smooth motion rotate your torso and flick your wrist to release the throw

Practice moving from the ‘Backhand with pivot’ position to the ‘Forehand with pivot’ position smoothly

1. Ensure that you are balanced throughout the movement
2. Try to avoid putting your foot down in the middle; it should take a single step to perform this move.
3. When learning this movement, take a slight pause in the final position before releasing the disc to ensure that you are balanced
