Hey all, I had a question on the rotations of my thumber throw. When I was in a tournament a few weeks back and threw a few thumbers that some players said were weird. I normally throw my thumbers and power them through, and all of them do at least 2 rotations (spiral) before stabilizing on the last flip. If going for distance I always throw at the 12-1 position. I've not had the opportunity to play with many thumbers and was wondering if that's normal to throw a spiral thumber with more than one rotation after the release.
From looking it up, if it doesn't flip once, the disc probably isn't going fast enough. To flip it once you are throwing the disc at the correct speed and the disc is stable in it's flight. If I'm flipping it over 2-3x in flight, am I just overpowering the disc in it's flight? Right now I primarily thumb with firebirds and teebirds. I can get about 300' from my thumber. Though I'm starting to think I'm throwing it wrong and probably could get more distance.
