left or right

[TheMarz]

how do you throw, left or right handed

It seems like most of the courses around me are made for right handers, with a few holes for left. I found a course recently thats pretty much all for leftys..oh do i like that course.

Backhand: left
Forehand : right

 

[Mr. Wick]

backhand: left
sidearm : right

So you're a funny guy too. Backhand lefty, forehand righty (I rarely ever use it), putt righty, overhand righty

 

[Timko]

Opposite.

Backhand: Right.
Forehand and Overhand: Left.

If you want a Righty course, come play Rosedale in KC.

Ya, considering i drive a manual, shift with my right in all the gears but reverse which i use my left hand for

 

[tushamajig131]

nothing exciting

backhand righty
forehand righty
putt righty
overhand righty

only use the left arm when trying to get out of a really tight spot and cant use the right arm (only has happened twice in the past 3 years)

exactly what i do

 

[jtkustomizer]

Righty for everything

 

[EBK357]

might have to play righty though my left shoulder is in some pain :!: :!: :!:

That's 3 of us then. Matt Hall is in the same boat as well.

 

[worthdan]

righty for both

but i have a buddy that throws righty both and lefty both

 

[disctribution]

Backhan...er...everything right.

Silly question, but why switch arms for forehand? Seems like you lose most of the benefit of a sidearm if its taking the same line as your backhand. No?

 

[Working Stiff]

You could amputate my left hand and it would have no effect on my disc golf game.

Anyway, back to the question:

Yes, but i find it easier if i have a long narrow somewhat twisty shot ect.. to throw, forehand(right) then it would be if i threw backhand(left ) It would be like you trying to throw backhand left handed...us leftys are quite weird like that, at least the few that i know

 

[sportsdude251]

Righty here also

 

[Shaolintrained]

For about six months I was forced to throw left handed due to a broken hand and it really helped me with my form...learning how to throw again from scratch. But yeah, I'm back to being a righty.

 

[Solbo]

righty for both

but i have a buddy that throws righty both and lefty both

what's he rated? (i ask b/c, i think this is a distinct advantage.)

look up Brian Harrington out of MA. Originally a righty, broke his collar bone one summer, taught himself to throw lefty... now throws lefty dominantly, and also uses righty when ever he needs to...

backhand, forehand.. either way.

he's roughly 1000 rated.
