But I think it works great for little touch flick FH's of around 200 or less and especially FH approaches.
I'm now trying to find the best way to throw FH for distance with two fingers and still struggling.
I think the key to long accurate FH's is about getting and keeping as much spin on the disc at all costs. Every other motion or movement you add HAS to keep the spin rate high, or it's all for naught.
I'm now trying to find the best way to throw FH for distance with two fingers and still struggling. But I've been watching all of Scotts FH videos the last few weeks, and just saw that great video from Ulibarri. Both him and Scott REALLY make the point that SPIN is what is the MOST important part of getting more distance and accuracy on a FH throw. Like HUB says with protecting the magic of keeping your hand on the outside of the disc as long as possible, I think the key to long accurate FH's is about getting and keeping as much spin on the disc at all costs. Every other motion or movement you add HAS to keep the spin rate high, or it's all for naught. They both go over that a lot. So it must be super important. Now if I could just DO IT, haha
Also remember that the forehand is a forward facing shot, like a baseball throw. VERY similar to a shortstop throwing a sidearm towards first base. Yes you bend and twist at the waist, but your shoulders do end up at least somewhat facing the target when you release.
