Forehand throws that go over 350 specifically are the throw in question. I believe to get the snap you need to go over 350 consistently FH the technique and snap have to be pretty decent. I can throw FH 300+ with no approach. My friend struggles with 300 with any approach.
I tell him his snap needs to be better, and that snap comes from the wrist being a bit stiffer and the flex from the resistance of the wrist being stiffer will help his snap.
Different guy chimes in, says, no, the only thing that will help him is the flicking motion.
I try to tell him he is correct to a certain point, you can only flick so far (taking into account the person in questions usual distance) and at some point your wrist flick isnt going to be enough.
He says thats the ONLY way to manufacture snap with a FH throw.
IMO, the throw he is describing is something in between flicking an ultimate disc and forcing a disc down the fairway with your wrist. And more often then not, will cause wrist roll and an unwanted FH roller.
Am i incorrect to think that even though they are different techniques (BH and FH) the snap is still produced in a similar manner?

where does FH snap come from? a flicking motion (indicating a limper wrist for the throw)
or a stiffer wrist at the hit?
