Loading ...Some specific stuff I’ve picked up on that’s made a big difference in my play:
-Release timing. This made a huge difference in my throws. Previously, I’d always have my release starting somewhere in the middle of my throwing motion, the wrist snap completing at the end of my arm motion. Ideally, though, the wrist snap and release are all one motion at the end of your throw–rather than start the disc rotating before you’ve fully set the trajectory, impart as much spin as possible at the end of the disc’s motion, and it’ll fly with much tighter spin, and thus more stability and better control.
-Grip the disc properly. Generally, get a tight grip you can throw fakes with and not lose the disc with.
-Cock the wrist back farther.
-Always be on your toes, whether cutting, defending, marking, pivoting, whatever. You’ll respond faster.
-Move, don’t reach. Use your body when you’re on defense.
-Have a plan. Whether it’s just “look for/force x. if x doesn’t work, then do y,” or something more complicated, have some idea of what you want to do and you’ll be more likely to be succesful and less likely to wind up confused.
