Angle for Flat Backhand
|
Before learning manipulations, make sure you can throw flat and straight. Practicing manipulations before establishing good form can lead to bad habits. The two types of manipulations discussed here are inside-outs and outside-ins. Both manipulations can be executed with a forehand or backhand throw; each throw has the same grip as a regular backhand or forehand. The main three components that change during these throws are the aim point, the angle of the disc, and the plane you are throwing the disc on.

TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH PLAYERS AS THEY DESCRIBE AND EXECUTE THE PROCESS OF HOW TO THROW A PROPER OUTSIDE-IN, PLEASE WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K3CQknmoGQ (Backhand OI starts at 1 minute and 13 seconds, forehand OI begins at 2 minutes).
OUTSIDE-IN INTRODUCTION
An outside-in begins with the disc flying out to space, and then curving back in towards your target. This is ideal for getting around a defender. The plane you are throwing the disc on goes from flat to more vertically upright, meaning the front end of the disc needs to be pointed up.

Backhand
To throw a backhand outside-in, point the end of the disc up and release the disc earlier than you would release a flat backhand. The larger the angle of the disc (or the more vertical it is), the more it will curve. Make sure to keep your arm away from your body. For the footwork your weight and momentum will move from your pivot foot into your dominant foot, so be sure to maintain a lunge distance between your two feet with a slight bend in your dominant knee. Most of your power comes from the footwork in this throw.

To throw a flick outside-in, the main difference from a regular flick is that the front end of the disc is pointed up. You want to release the disc earlier than you would release a flat backhand. |
