How to Throw a Draw in Flying Disc Golf
Introduction
So you have a giant boulder and several pine trees blocking your line to the pin. It's no problem when you use the draw shot, which curves from right to left (for a right-hander).
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Steps
1
Step One
Grip the disc as you would to throw a backhand toss (see "eHow to Throw a Flying Disc Backhand").
2
Step Two
Keep your feet perpendicular to your target.
3
Step Three
Bring your throwing arm across your body.
4
Step Four
Tilt your wrist slightly up so the disc rests at an angle of 15-30 degrees in your hand.
6
Step Six
Drop your throwing shoulder several inches below your nonthrowing shoulder.
7
Step Seven
Throw the disc in a down-to-up motion. Your hand should finish the throw above your eye level.
8
Step Eight
Lean back a bit at your waist as you release the disc.
Tips & Warnings
- Pay attention to how much you bend your wrist. If the disc is flopping onto its side and rolling soon after you release it, you are probably using too much of an angle.
- Exaggerate the throwing motion. By exaggerating the motion, you'll slow down your arm speed and realize how the throw is different from your typical backhand toss.
