Phase 1 of 7 — Forehand (RHFH)
Setup
Goal: Get into a comfortable, balanced stance with the correct grip. A solid setup ensures you can generate spin and control the disc's angle at release.
Beginner Tip
Focus on your grip first — if your two fingers aren't flat under the rim, nothing else will feel right.
Key Actions
- Place your index and middle fingers flat against the inside rim of the disc — this is where all your spin comes from.
- Press your thumb firmly on top of the flight plate to lock the disc in place.
- Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, body facing the target or slightly open.
- Hold the disc at chest height with your elbow relaxed at your side.
Focus Points
- Your grip should be firm but not white-knuckle tight — tension in your hand travels up your arm.
- Shoulders should feel loose and dropped, not raised toward your ears.
- Keep your wrist flat and level so the disc isn't tilted before you even start.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Staring down at the disc in your hand instead of looking at your target.
- Clenching your jaw or tensing your neck — this stiffness spreads to your shoulders.
- Gripping with your fingers curled instead of flat against the rim.
Head & Gaze
Look at your target and pick a specific landing zone or line. Your head should be upright and relaxed.
