Uncommon Throws in Ultimate Frisbee

Along with the most common throws in ultimate, we have the ability to throw a bunch of other throws which aren’t very common or never ever used in a game…but they’re throws and learning to throw them is a good way to improve your snap, your field awareness and your overall throwing ability. I would not recommend using these throws in a game, unless absolutely necessary.

The throws are, in order:

• Behind the Back Backhand
• Behind the Back Forehand
• Between the Legs Backhand
• Around Both Legs Backhand
• No Look Backhand
• No Look Forehand
• Switcheroo
• The Dipsy Doodle (or The Paintbrush)
• Leftie Backhand
• The Dad on the Beach
• Helicopter
• Overhand Wrist Flip (or the Chickenwing)
• Reverse Overhand Wrist Flip (or Blind Overhand Wrist Flip)
• Upside Down Backhand
• Sky Hook
• Helix Thumber
• Helix Scoober
• Helix Hammer
• Peepee
• Double Peepee
• Between the Legs Forehand (with a mark)
• The Houdini
• The Dinner Plate
• Spinarama
