An overhead throw. Thrown like a forehand but over the head. The disc flies upside down. Useful for breaking cups or reaching covered teammates.
A variant of the Hammer, released lower (chest/shoulder height) from a backhand position but upside down. Great for quick, short passes over a mark.
Forehand Outside-In curves the disc away then back toward the target. Key points: Tilt the leading edge up, release earlier than a flat throw, use explosive wrist snap for spin. Step laterally to shift weight, drive with shoulders and hips. Perfect for breaking around defenders to hit break-side receivers.
Backhand Outside-In sends the disc outward before curving back to target. Key points: Tilt the leading edge up, release before the disc passes perpendicular to your body. Maintain strong wrist snap for stable spin, keep body slightly back-tilted, pivot foot stable, drive with shoulders and hips. Great for tight spaces and getting around defenders.
Inside-Out throws curve toward the same side as the throwing hand. Key points: Inner rim higher than outer rim for inward tilt angle. Strong wrist snap generates spin, control tilt angle to determine curve strength. Works with both forehand and backhand. More stable in wind, effective for breaking marks and adding deception.
Classic offense. Players line up in the middle of the field. Cutters break out into open space to receive passes, keeping the lanes clear.
3 Handlers back, 4 Cutters spread horizontally across the field. Maximizes vertical space for deep cuts and unders.
Man-to-man defense. Each defender guards one person. The key is the 'Force' — making the thrower throw to only one side of the field.
Defenders guard specific areas (like a 'Cup') rather than specific players. Forces the offense to make many short passes. Good for windy days.
