Phase 6 of 7 — Forehand (RHFH)

Release

Goal: Let the disc rip cleanly off your fingertips with a flat spin. A clean release means less wobble and more predictable flight.

Beginner Tip

If the disc wobbles in the air, your wrist was probably tilted at release. Practice short throws focusing on a flat, clean snap.

Let the disc peel off your index and middle fingers as your wrist fully extends.
Extend your wrist through the target line — point your fingers where you want the disc to go.
Keep your palm facing up at the moment of release to prevent the disc from turning over.
Release the disc out in front of your plant foot, not behind or beside your body.

The front edge of the disc should be level or angled very slightly downward (nose down) — this helps the disc carry farther.
The disc should come out flat or on a slight hyzer (outside edge tilted down), not wobbling.
A clean release feels effortless — if you feel the disc catching or snagging, check your grip.

Looking away or flinching before the disc leaves your hand — commit to watching the release.
Rolling your wrist over at the last moment, which causes the disc to turn and dive.
Gripping too tight at release, which prevents a clean rip and kills spin.

Eyes are locked on your release point — the spot in the air where the disc leaves your hand. Let your gaze follow the disc naturally after release.
