the more shots you have the better... learn em all.
And finally, FH rollers are friggin' sweet.
truth.
If nothing else learn a FH for get out of trouble shots. Also learning FH starts you on the way to learning tomahawks, same grip just overhead and different angle.
The way I see it, a well-developed FH is more consistent than an anhyzer/turnover shot in the long run. With turnover/anny shots, you have three outcomes and two are bad:
1. Disc does not turn enough/have enough anny, and finishes opposite direction that you wanted it to - BAD
2. Shot is thrown correctly and it lands where you want - GOOD
3. Too much turnover/anny and it goes early or turns into cut roller - BAD
In the woods, you need the turnover/anny shots to shape lines and hit those tiny little fairways. But on more open courses with more D, FH is the way to go IMO. It does better in the wind because you are generally throwing more stable plastic. How often have you seen an attempted turnover shot get raped in the wind and blown way off course? A turnover is more susceptible to playing conditions and user error. With forehand, you angle the disc, pick a spot, and let it rip. The disc wants to fade in that direction. Sometimes it's better to let the disc do the work and shape the shot.
Also FH does not require the longer reachback and runup that a backhand of equal distance does. You can keep your eye on the target the whole time and still generate a good deal of power.
And finally, FH rollers are friggin' sweet.
Dude, so much truth here! Forehand shots WANT to go right, but u have to CONVINCE a backhand anny that it wants to go right and how much to the right, lol.
I'm actually currently working on the forehand roller, any tips?? Like how much do u want it to fly before rolling?
i'm no good at rollers, so ignore me. but...when i have to, i grab a leopard, snap that sucker as hard as i can, i'll go out about 100-150 feet then just cruise
you will. how long have you been playing Rob?
you are better off being equally confident with both.
