The Importance of Grip

The video in this post has Dave Dunipace (of Innova) expounding upon The Importance of Grip irregardless of whether the throw is backhand or forehand. Thought it was worthwhile and should be included before getting into the Backhand, Putting, and Overhand grips which will follow in future posts.

Key Points to remember:

1) Thumb pressure controls power.

2) Thumb pad is the center of the pivot.

3) Thumb pressure controls timing.

4) The thumb pad is the virtual center of the disc's mass.

5) The thumb provides an aiming mechanism.
