The Roller Disc Throw

The definition of a roller is a disc that you throw, that rolls on the ground. It?s pretty self explanatory. When you throw the disc, instead of throwing it flat and getting the natural tendency of it curving just a little left and coming back. If you actually throw the disc at an angle, and instead of throwing strait across your chest, you throw it like a windmill. And you throw up and over like a rainbow, and you let it go right there. The disc will actually, if you flick your hand enough, the disc will actually come out of your hand, fly about 40-50 feet, and do the exact same path that it does in the air. But it does it on the ground. And it will actually do a big S curve, because the disc are weighted, and when you throw it on the edge, what its going to do is its the natural force of your throw. Its going to force it to roll a certain way. But as the weight of the disc catches up with its momentum, it will finally start turning to the heavy side. And that will actually create some really long shots.
