Phase 7 of 7 — Forehand (RHFH)
Follow Through
Goal: Let your arm decelerate naturally after release. A good follow-through protects your elbow and shoulder from injury and signals that you didn't cut the throw short.
Beginner Tip
If you're stumbling after the throw, your run-up was too fast. Work backward from a balanced follow-through.
Key Actions
- Let your arm continue across your body with your palm finishing face-up.
- Step through with your rear leg to absorb momentum and maintain balance.
- Stay upright and centered — don't lunge or fall off to one side.
Focus Points
- The deceleration should feel smooth, not abrupt — imagine your arm gradually slowing, not slamming to a stop.
- Your elbow and shoulder should feel comfortable, not jarred. Pain here means you're stopping too abruptly.
- After the throw, you should be balanced enough to walk forward.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Snapping your arm to a sudden stop, which stresses your elbow and shoulder.
- Collapsing forward or falling to one side — this usually means you were off-balance during the throw.
- Forcing your head to stay still while your body rotates past it.
Head & Gaze
Let your eyes naturally follow the disc toward the target. Your neck should be relaxed — no need to hold any position.
