I starting playing disc golf 100% backhand. but after several tourney's and after talking to a few pro's in Santa Cruz. I decided it was time to change it up. Jack Traggeser, who owns schoolofdiscgolf.com and is local pro, challenged me to go 1 month with out throwing a single backhand. He said, "im jealous of your flick, but if you want to improve your game get that backhand down." Oh my, it was super frustrating, but my game has improved a ton and my backhand is now fairly constant. I feel its totally worth it to learn how to throw backhand. It also opens many options for shots where before all you had in the bag was flicks. One last thing I noticed is that my upshot game has improved a ton as well, I can finesse a backhand, alot easier than a flick. So my control is better within 130' with a backhand most of the time.
