Throwing in Pairs

Throwing in Pairs: Participants stand 10m apart. One disc for each pair. Start with picture facing up, tight grip on disc and snap wrist to make disc spin.

Initial setup. Participants stand 10m apart. One disc for each pair. Start with picture facing up, tight grip on disc and snap wrist to make disc spin.
Free throwing with minimal instruction.
Stop throwing to give instruction as follows: Backhand: 1 - Turn sideways with strong shoulder facing receiver. This allows extension of arm towards receiver, thus longer throw. 2 - Keep disc as flat as possible. Will curve towards lower edge - either left or right. 3 - Finish pointing at a target on receivers body (logo, nose).
Forehand: 1 - Face receiver to open body to target, allowing extension of arm towards receiver. 2 - Emphasis on wrist snap, not arm swing. 3 - Instinct will be to have hand high (almost shoulder level). Instead, position hand below elbow with disc almost pointed at ground.
