Throwing Deep Thought #2

This is something I wanted to add about throwing deep. A lot of problems I see people having with throwing deep and their throws in general stem from an unnecessary throwing motion. With throwing motion I mean the path your disc takes from when you start moving the disc up until release. This motion involves the disc movement horizontally with your pivot as well as the actual release motion from whatever body position you pivoted to. These two motions are linked and continuous when you pivot directly into a throw which is mostly the case. The best throwing motion is a quick, simple, and efficient one. A lot of people incorporate loopy vertical movements in their throwing motion which make achieving a tight fast spin more difficult. Ultimately the goal of throwing is to produce as much spin as possible with every throw. Any unnecessary loopy movement makes a clean release harder to come by. So, minimize unnecessary movement. This simple release also allows for a quick release, which makes throws easier to get off and harder to defend.
