If you are an intermediate player you are displaying a good control over the disc. However, you might need more work on generating more power and consistency with your throws. A good way of working on more power in your throws would be to try and avoid using your legs as a means of power and concentrating more on getting a stronger flick in your wrist. To practice it is recommended you sit down with your legs crossed and work with a partner in the same position. Here you are solely forced to use the power of your arms and wrist, avoiding the use of your legs to generate the power. Another good way to learn to generate power from your arms and wrist is to kneel on one leg, again forcing the power to come from your arms and wrist and not your lower body. This method will help keep the disc away from your body. Also, you can lead with your hip to help guide the disc into the direction you want it to go
There are many throws you may want to learn (if you don’t already have them down pat).
1. How to throw the disc to make a curve. This is great skill to help with the placement of the disc and help avoid interceptions from opposing players.
