The arms are tucked in close to the torso. The upper body twists opposite of the
throw as the front foot moves forward to the plant position. Center of gravity is behind the
front foot. The throwing elbow should start as far back as is possible while still
able to rotate quickly forward.
The front foot has been planted and the hips have rotated. The shoulders then
begin to turn, but the elbow has not straightened yet. Center of gravity begins
to shift over the front foot.
The shoulders and upper arm continue to turn as the elbow extends the disc into the snap position. The disc begins to pivot at the end of the elbow extension and will rip itself out of the grip as the arm and shoulders pull through with maximum force.
The center of gravity moves up on the plant foot.
The disc is released as weight is now over the plant
foot. The left foot comes off the ground and the
plant foot begins to pivot in the follow-through motion.
The follow through pivot is necessary to relieve
stress on the plant foot's knee, and to ensure maximum
pull through power and speed. Momentum should
be so great at this point, that it makes a pivot necessary.
The throwing arm continues to twist around the body as the hips
complete their rotation and the golfer ends up pointing the opposite
shoulder at the target.
