2 Catching Secrets in Ultimate Frisbee 

an easy way to know what side of the disc you want to catch is to identify the side of the throwers body they threw from and match that in your catch

Thank you! You just saved my life, my friends were mad at me because I absolutely SUCKED. Keep it up!👍

Rowan, this was great. These are subtle tips that non club players would pick up on. More of these would be great.

Random tips like this is great

Would love to see this for catches above the head when your thumb is inside/under the rim.

I love this! You’re really observant about critical details that us mortals can rarely picture. Considering the spin! I love it!

In French we call the side of the frisbee that spins away from you the 'côté lapin' (rabbit side), courtesy of a Québecois guy named Sebastien Labbé (now coaching in Belgium it seems) who even did a math/physics analysis of the phenomenon. I also coach that if the disc stays on the same side from thrower to catcher (i.e. like a pass to the open side) then you need to go further to catch on the 'sticky' side but if the disc crosses from one side to another (i.e.. like an inside out break throw) the 'sticky' side is closer.

Great video!. One suggestion, when you make a video that is all happening on one side of you, stand closer to the other side of the frame so that there is more frame devoted to the action.

This is really good content... I don't think many people intrinsically know to do this but know I've seen it explained it's going to be so easy to include into throwing sets.

You're an absolute beauty Rowan! Keep it up my man!

These are some great tips, as a beginner I for sure havent tought about this even if it makes total sense when you say it out loud :P

Great advice! Thank you for all the insights!

Upside down catching and above the head tips please!

Thank you it helps in the theoric and I'm going to practice it today. This was my really problem in the catching, that bouncing

I love your videos, keep them coming, its really awesome material!

The visual of the disc bouncing off your hand vs sticking is awesome! Stolen.

Dope... i didnt know that i was already doing this. Now i can explain it.

Good info and well done for 1 take. Thanks

Rowan, is it possible to do a video tutorial on forehand and backhand huck?

Cool bro, really helpful

I noticed this on a right handed flick going to my left (facing the thrower). If I run across the field and can barely get my fingers on it - there's absolutely no way to secure it. Maybe laying out with a trailing edge grab right handed woulda solved this problem - if only I could do that. There's some where that expression: If you can touch it, you shoulda caught it, is definitely not true. At least it was untrue - until now. Thanks Rowan. I might play with the trailing edge grabs just to see how easy / hard they are - done correctly.

I love the format for these kinds of videos but, The only downside is not being able to show in-game usage to demonstrate better how to use the technique in-game. Also, close up slow motion can be helpful to really show the technique. The bonus hopefully is more content which is great so either way, it works.

Great stuff dude!

Honestly even when I started ultimate, this was common sense to me.

Or you can just overhand, its easier to tilt your hand so it slows down the disc spinning either way

Quisiera ver este video sub español :(
