I think your guess is right. If that feeling is eluding you then you aren't "getting" it. Go through the early parts of the drill very carefully focusing on getting that feel. Don't just try to emulate the video. It doesn't need to be done quickly to get the feel. Just let the disc drop on it's own and you'll start to feel it tug on your hand. When you feel that tug is when you actively pound the hammer.LYang said:My personal guess would be the hammer pounds? Except with the several times that I've read through that thread and tried, what I am suppose to feel eludes me still.

The downward hammer pound is more like an overhand or sidearm throw. The point of doing it vertically is to have gravity do most of the work for you so you can get the feel right. If you first let it happen passively you can then figure out how to actively strengthen the pound. The recoil feeling you get happens because the disc is pivoting about the lock point rather than slipping out of the lock point. It's because the disc is rotating rather than falling in a straight line. If you have that feeling then you can switch to doing it horizontally so that you're initiating the hammer pound rather than gravity. Then you do it horizontally but "backwards" to get it for backhand. That's probably the most difficult part.LYang said:It's the recoil feeling that I don't understand. Either I have not felt what I am suppose to or I have felt it but didn't know it. I let gravity pull the disc down, and when I feel the weight I am suppose to snap the forearm (which causes the snap of wrist) and grip hard right?
