Brodie, you are the reason why I'm able to throw a 70 yard flick today. Thank you.

College ultimate player here! I see a lotttttt of comments pertaining to disc wobble and I think I might be able to help out a bit. I see so many people saying "more spin," but in reality, it has more to do with plane alignment than simply adding more spin once you have the basic technique down. Perhaps a metaphor will help Imagine this: You have a large knife and you want to cut a stick of butter straight down the middle. The most important thing to do so is to keep the knife at the same exact angle as how you push the knife through the butter... If the knife is tilted left or right, and you push straight down to cut, it will not be a clean cut. The same is true with frisbee, if you follow. make sure the disc is cutting the air upon release at the same angle that you release it. This can be corrected by examining and correcting the angle at which you should hold the disc before releasing with a big wrist snap. Hope this helps ;)

@REGROSS527 Very good question. The reason I like keeping the disc vertical is for a couple different reasons. 1) It allows me to us fakes a lot faster and easier 2) I will be able to generate more spin on the disc by using towel whip method 3) If your able to throw a hammer it allows you to go straight into a hammer throw. Hope that helped!!!

I've been working on this throw for a while now. This video has been a huge help. My forehand is getting nearly as much distance as my backhand now! And I'm able to pinpoint location! Brodie, you rock dude.

i highly recommended my grip

0:32 it's disgusting how accessible that gun was smh

@1dominikr Austria! nice! It helps to make the disc more stable and will thus make your throws more accurate. I highly recommend doing it that way.

Damn look at the flick of that wrist

A question that has been asked a lot. I would highly recommend only using 2 because that will give you the maximum distance and accuracy.

That vertical tip starting out was something I was suprised/impressed to see. When I just started learning flicks I had trouble straightening the disc, but if you start with the disc down it got a lot easier. Good work here.

@ex0tan oh I think your talking about grip strength. When hucking a forehand I grip it and rip it. The more pressure you can create between the inner and outer rim of the disc the more rotation u can generate. For shorter throws its ok to not have such a tight grip to help improve your accuracy.

@butor20077 very true. Throwing without any wind makes things a lot easier. We will be doing a Bro Tip on how to throw in the wind.

Thanks for this Brodie. I wish I found this during my high school frisbee days. Now I will practice it the right way for college frisbee!

One of the things I really like about both this and the backhand video, are when you encourage players to practice throws with just a limited wrist snap. Learning that solid wrist snap will make the transition to high releases, low releases, or other throwing variations much easier. I also like when Alex gets that cute little dimple when he throws in slow motion. Can you do a video on how to do that?

Ok, I've been to other videos about flick throws, but by far this is THE most descriptive and most helpful video to the point that i can actually finally throw with a flick. Thank you Brody for posting. Now for a game of ULTIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!

I love your videos Brodie, you're a great coach and ambassador for the sport.

Literally watching this before my ultimate tryouts

I am really impressed by all of the Bro Tips so far. I've played ultimate for over 5 years and I just started coaching (a group of enthusiastic middle schoolers!). I'm really interested in seeing how this project progresses. How about footage of the most common mistakes that new recruits make while learning to throw and examples of what you do to help correct them? A side-by-side slow-mo comparison of a good vs. a bad throw would be really useful I think!

@LukeSchneiderTV Thats awesome to hear! Hope you fall in love with it like I did!

Hey Brodie thanks for the tips. I started just playing frisbee in my yard with my friend about a year and a half ago. Over the year and a half. I have learned how to throw a hammer, forehand, skip, backhand, and a few others. All from your videos. Thanks a lot!

I have no relations with Ultimate Frisbee. I never play it. I really appreciate the detail he really puts in these videos. It makes it really interesting. Good job!

Brodie, these videos have helped me so much and now i am the best thrower of my friends. I plan to start playing ultimate frisbee in the summer!

Best forehand throw video I've watched so far! Very helpful and informative!

@biblicalsoultaker Extending those last 2 fingers helps you stabilize the disc in your hand better. Gives you better control on throwing the disc not just straight, but also when you start to curve the disc. We can make another video showing why its important later if you like.

1:25 hello guys im here with my 10 year old nephew.......

i love the feeling when you are running so fast that you feel like you're floating

@SrHPotter1 Nope, but if you haven't thrown this pass before you want to start of slow and make sure to warm up well before you start throwing.

@tedhellcaster Well i think something that will help you is not over cutting. A lot of people think to play great offense you need to be running the entire time making hard cuts when in fact its more important to make less cuts, but the right ones. Does that answer your question?

Could you do an explanation of uses for inside-outs and outside-ins? And a tutorial?

He reminds me of Gareth Bale.

One crucial thing I discovered from this video as opposed to others is that I wasn’t “hugging” my index finger against the rim/wall of the disc. I was pressing it flat against the “floor” of the disc. Once I saw in this video that he hugged the side, all my throws got way better. Frickin hallelujah moment. Thank you!! 0:44

thanks for all of your work you got me intersted in to trick shots with frisbees you helped me out with throwing

My goal is to join my school's frisbee club, but I want to get down the basic throws like the forehand and the hammer. It took me nearly 4 hours of practice, but I finally got it down! Flight path is nearly straight almost every time and I tried my max distance with it and it was about 25-30 yards straight! My forearm is sore, but it is totally worth it! Thanks Brodie for helping me sort out my forehand throw!

My fingers broke

@agdude156 yes it does...if you do the peace sign grip you won't get as much power and spin

I love the comparison between wrist snap and snapping someone with a towel... so much fun.

How high should you hold the disc the throw the best forehand? Waist? Belly-button? I know that it differs according to the situation in Ultimate, but I'm just talking just playing catch.

Hi there in 2022

I used to grip with my two fingers split like you're describing but after watching this video I have more control and can get more distance with my throws. I'm still making adjustments but I recommend this grip!

@Benniee1 Ultimate in Belgium thats awesome! I really would suggest trying to get both fingers as close to the inner edge as possible. It will def help with power and accuracy after some practice.

Look at da' flick a' dat wris (that wris).

"if you were gonna snap someone with a towel" oh, well why didnt you say so :)

Thanks Brodie after watching this video for the second time I realized my mistake and fixed my forehand! Now I can finally go back to throwing some big forehands for my trickshot video that I hope you will see when I'm done! Thanks again!

@onewaylife4all you think you can send in some video of you throwing?

I have been watching your videos all day and I just went downstairs and watched RudeTube for 5minutes and they showed your speedboat video...I think I'm psychic.

Me eating sweet chilli heat doritos while watching this for online phys ed class

I use this every time I disc golf, thanks for the tips! :)

@DondaLonda Oh this isn't basic at all. Actually this is something that is not looked at enough. A video will be coming shortly with this! Thanks!

Damn that is a big wrist snap. No wonder why I've been messing that throw up. Thanks. Definitely over throwing.

That feeling when you're sitting in the same park they filmed this in #gogators

Thanks for all the help:)

this is the best video on the flick i have found on youtube. thanks

smacking someone with a towel xD

You gotta turn the captions on

@ex0tan what do you mean by use your fingers?

@texasissouthh you should def apply...I really enjoyed my time there. Graduated though already

Brodie when he was a junior in high school

I got in trouble for doing the gun at school

@ex0tan yea def...its all about grip when the disc is wet

@MsBNair take a look at Bro Tip #4 where I talk more about the forehand

My whole life was a lie....

英語で何言ってか分かんないけど勉強になりました👍

@TheCardsfan24 Have you watched my How to throw a forehand huck? If not take a peek at that and see if that clears it up. If you still have problems I can try and help ya. Thanks for the question!

I used this technique the last few times I have played disc golf, and I have gotten much better distance. Thank you.

Any NC Frisbee players here?

Brodie smith,i love your frisbee skills,how I wish u one day can come to my house and teach me and u can give me one of your dark horse frisbee for free,I stay in singapore

Yo great job explaining the throws man. Good detail.

I'm an old guy but a new disc golfer and I've been struggling with the forehand, but I just tried a few throws after watching your vid and I did better than I ever did. Thanks a lot.

why do you have to make it vertical at first cant you just make it flat and throw,that's what I do.

BRO TIPS? WHY NOT WOMAN TIPS!!! TRIGGERED!!!!!

Nicely done and explained bro Thanks🙌

love your videos, keep them coming!

Thanks for the tips i tried out for ultimate frisbee last year for the first time and i picked it up quick so this will help for next year.

Brodie, thanks for the vid, very helpful, will try to perfect the throw with my nephew today!

Wow, nice vid man! My forehand is my favorite throw and I noticed during your video that I never make sure to keep the bottom of my arm facing up. Definitely gonna give this a try tonight when we enter the intramural playoffs!

Brodie you are freakin awesome, You inspired me, I fell in love with frisbee. Thanks so much!

This video helped me a lot, I've been struggling throwing a solid straight forehand for a couple years now. But after this video and some practice I am able to not only throw further, but much more accurate. So thank you very much.

@shanebussmann sounds cool!

@thesparkiscool How to mark! Its on the board of suggestions! Thanks!

@TheCardsfan24 The problem with that is you cant really step out on the mark. The forehand will be a much better option.

@rhoffer21 i will try and put a vid out on how to throw in the wind

@proteincheese Absolutely!

That was a huge tip in the video. Thanks Bro!

Your Videos Inspire me to get better at Ultimate... Great Stuff!

@agentpao20 Did you watch the forehand huck video?

just want to say that this was one of the hardest throws for me but this vid helped alot... THANKS BRO

@m4rc24 Well you really want to try and get those fingers on the outside, but you can wait for your hands to get bigger if they will. If not def just keep working at it and eventually it will feel better.

@mangmans dang man im trying to find the link but i lost it...once i find it i will post it! sry bro

tilt the disc down more in your hand and snap your wrist more. After you release look at your wrist and make sure its pointing up to the sky

Thanks so much bro it is so helpful will try all of they

@juelionwolfteam the link is in my new Frisbee Trick Shots - basketball edition...just click show more to see it in the description

@statebird44 Thanks and I wouldn't be opposed to making a video focusing on women's ultimate.

love these vids, and i love the music too

Thanks helps a lot!!! 😃

hey Brodie, i just want to thank you for making this forehand video, cause i can throw a regular throw crazy far but i could never get the fore hand down it would always hit the ground until now so, thanks for the tips they've been really helpful.

Can't wait to try this out

Thanks for video bud, I’m trying to show my son the right way to throw a frisbee and your videos have helped me alot.

Brodie i loooooooooooove these videos you are the best !!!!!!!!

Hey Broadie! Last week I learnt about Ultimate, and got hooked after watching your videos. I'd like to practice and get great at it, so what advice can you give a rookie? How'd you start out?! My forehand fizzles out and people never pass to me (something about the wrong positions im in)

Thanks dude 🙏🏼
