Freestyle Frisbee: Helicopter Throw

Hi in this segment we are going to talk about the helicopter throw. Now a helicopter throw is a great throw for Frisbee freestyle. It generates a lot of spin on it and you can also throw it to yourself or throw it to a partner. Now the grip for the helicopter throw is here and here. Now it is a little bit different because you actually want to put your hands on the top this way and hold your thumb here, hold it fairly firm and the actual motion is coming around here and you are going to bring your hand all the way around and do the snap. I am going to do it a little slow at first and then once you get that you can actually generate a little more spin and you are pushing up as you are releasing which puts a little more spin and lets the disc come down nice and slow. Now if I was going to throw a helicopter to Ryan and I'm pulling around and pushing up at the same time. It's this motion right here. This helicopter throw is a little bit more difficult to get but once you get it you'll notice that it puts a lot of spin on the disc.
