    @husejnc You want to work on stepping out when you have a mark. So practice just stepping further then normal and getting comfortable hucking from that position. Once you are comfortable keep repeating until it is a fairly fast motion.

    @butor20077 So far all our videos have been directed to the younger/newer ultimate player. We will put out some videos for the elite ultimate player soon. For example: being able to huck against a straight up mark. Thanks for the comment

    Ultra Star is a great frisbee. It feels great in your hand and, in my experience, flies nice. It also doesn't hurt when you catch it like some discs can do to you. Hope this helps

  • @BrodieSmith
    @BrodieSmith  13 років тому +1

    @FlosWeisheiten Glad it helped!

    It's nice to see someone actually qualified to teach these things on youtube. So many ultimate tutorials are old people who haven't played against a solid D in a while or people who just don't know the game enough but can throw around.

    I play ultimate frisbee in broken hill in Australia and I love it so much. Thanks Brodie this has helped a lot!!

    @BrodieSmith  13 років тому

    @itsmethekiddo Well its the best way of generating power from your lower body. As long as your release the disc before you pick your foot up your fine and thats not a travel. Thanks for the comment!

  • @BrodieSmith
    @BrodieSmith  13 років тому +1

    @jmerz09 This is where you really burn them on the breakside. Go to a vertical offense and move your dump further behind you then normal and you should have a lane to break the mark ever time.

    @Monstafiedkid have you watched the how to catch bro tip?

  • @BrodieSmith
    @BrodieSmith  13 років тому +11

    @ImTheMetal @FlosWeisheiten So hear is my rule of thumb...
    1) Power Grip - For pulling and hucking
    2) Softer Grip - With fingers spread out like I show in the video for everything else
    Hope that helps!

    @alovseth I don't think it puts me at a competitive disadvantage. Most games I play in are observed and the observers do a really good job of noticing when the foot picks up after the release. The only time i really pick up my pivot foot is on big throws. 70+ yard backhands. Everything under 70 yards you can keep your pivot foot down. It just helps me generate more power.

  • @BrodieSmith
    @BrodieSmith  13 років тому +2

    @BrandonEhlHughes roughly around 100 yards

    @tchanxx619 exactly you just want to hold that until you finish your throw don't turn your wrist over.

  • @BrodieSmith
    @BrodieSmith  13 років тому

    @tchanxx619 It might have to do with your release...are you holding that line or are you turning your wrist over after you throw. You don't want to turn your wrist over.

    hello brodie,
    our ultimate trainer told us to use the so called "power grip". For him it might work, he has the strongest backhand in our ultimate club in Vienna, but I find it really awkward and I loose control and accuracy tightening all four fingers to the inside rim of the disc...
    so I started to use your version of gripping the disc and it works very well! I just wanted to know if there are other players that are able to throw further than you BECAUSE they use the "power grip"?

  • @ryankelly2361
    @ryankelly2361 9 років тому +3

    Brodie Smith Could you explain how you maintain accuracy while briefly turning your eyes away from the target during a backhand huck? It does seem like an unavoidable result of getting that big shoulder turn.
    Also, is it possible that in a game you would somehow lock your eyes on the moving downfield target throughout the entire throwing motion, but in this demonstration, aiming at a stationary target, you looked away briefly?
    Great video, by the way.

    Brodie, i've got a pretty decent huck and use it alot. It usually leads to a stright up mark being put on.Is there any way to escape the straight up mark?

  • @FlosWeisheiten
    @FlosWeisheiten 13 років тому

    @brodiesmith21 Thank you! In your backhand huck video it looks like you're not tightening the fingers completely to the inside rim. But now I understand that the further you throw, the tighter you grip the disc...
    In the meantime my flick huck has become way further than my backhand because I refused to use power grip for my backhand huck ^^... flick huck video helped me a great deal, especially the thing with stepping forward and throwing the disc in one fluid motion...

    I use 175 for Ultimate. When we do freestyle (trick shots) we use a 175. 175 is just a really comfortable weight. I once played a pickup game with a
    heavyweight 200, and while it was fun, 175 is regulation so it's best to get used to that so any leagues you join you don't have to get used a whole new disc.

  • @RhodesCarnivale
    @RhodesCarnivale 12 років тому

    Hey Brodie, I was wondering if you could put up some stuff in a similar vein about O-I hucks for both backhand and flick. As a Southpaw, I can throw a pretty decent I-O backhand as well as flick, but occasionally it can dovetail OB if I'm hucking from close to the sideline/ if there's a crosswind. Also, break-mark hucks is another cool idea if you haven't done much with that...

    @mryanlord 11 років тому

    If you look at his motion in the slow-mo and cuts at the end, its much less inside out than during the initial instruction. I've never hucked with as much inside out as he shows at first; give it a shot flatter.
