    Backhand: Grip the edge of the disc so that all your fingers are wrapped around the edge of the disc and your thumb lies along the top of the disc. Extend the throwing arm across your body and swing your arm away from your body, releasing the disc when your arm is about 45 degrees from your body with a snap of the wrist. At the same time, step forward with your right leg; you should complete your step and release the disc at approximately the same time. The power behind your throw should come mostly from wrist motion and partly from the movement of your arm. Make sure the disc stays level while you throw!

    Forehand: The forehand throw is more difficult and will take a little more practice to get right. For the forehand throw, you will only use your two fingers and thumb to grip the disc. Place your middle finger on the rim of the underside of the disc. Extend your index finger toward the center of the disc on the underside and rest your thumb on the top of the disc, wrapping it around the edge. The power behind the forehand throw comes almost completely from your wrist. Stand with the disc to your right, horizontal to the ground. Hold it even with your body, maybe slightly behind you. Rotate the disc on your wrist behind your hand and snap your wrist forward, moving your arm forward slightly also. Release the disc when your arm and wrist movement bring it in front of you about 45 degrees, maybe slightly less. At the same time, step forward with your right foot (this may be counter-intuitive at first, especially if you’ve ever thrown a baseball), stepping down just as you release the disc. It is common to find your forehand throws landing vertical rather than horizontal at first - try tilting the outside edge of the disc toward the ground before you throw. Tilting the disc this way is also helpful if there is a strong wind.
