Become an Ultimate Frisbee Legend

A soft UltraStar changes everything. It does not hurt to catch, does not scuff floors or pavement, and opens up an entirely new skill: the pavement skip. Throw the disc hard into concrete and control where it goes after the bounce.

• Skip it straight and make it rise to a specific height. Then curve it left. Then curve it right.
• Throw it as hard as you want. It will not go too far or hurt anyone.
• The skip challenge works solo or as a competition: who can control the bounce with the most precision?
• This is the gateway to getting discs into kids' hands. A disc that skips off pavement like magic? Every kid wants to try.

Most players step and throw their pull. We teach a full 360 degree rotation that generates 10 to 20 extra yards by channeling rotational momentum through the entire kinetic chain.

• Spin your entire body through the release, continuing to rotate after the disc leaves your hand.
• Think of a discus thrower: your body is the engine, the disc is along for the ride.
• Start slow, build speed gradually, and within 10 to 20 attempts you will feel the extra distance click.

Lying on your back and flicking the disc straight up is the single best drill for building your forehand. It isolates pure wrist snap because your arm and torso cannot cheat. If you do one drill from this entire book, make it this one.

• Lie flat, hold the disc in your flick grip above your chest, and snap it straight up. Gravity brings it back.
• 20 reps a day changes your flick within a week.
• Once it goes straight up consistently, turn that motion sideways. That is your forehand.

Spin a disc on your finger like a basketball. Keep it going. Switch fingers. Switch hands. This simple act builds the finger strength, spin intuition, and off hand coordination that power every throw and catch.

• Stronger fingers equal more whip equal more spin on every throw you make.
• The non dominant hand practice pays huge dividends for ambidextrous development.
• Do it watching TV, waiting for the bus, or hanging out. Five minutes a day, and within a month your finger strength will be noticeably different.

This is one of my absolute favorite things to do with a disc. Grab six to eight discs and throw them in rapid pairs. Your off hand launches first, a floaty lefty flick about 30 yards out. Then one to two seconds later, fire your dominant hand flick with full power.

• Try to hit the airborne disc out of the sky with your second throw. When you nail it, nothing in this sport feels better.
• Try to land both discs in the exact same spot at the exact same time. Two throws, one landing. This trains timing and trajectory reading like nothing else.
• The ultimate challenge: throw them perfectly parallel, side by side, same speed, same arc, same landing zone. This is the true test of ambidextrous mastery.
• This drill trains off hand development, accuracy, power calibration, and trajectory reading all at once. It is the Legend tier drill.
