    What are the alternative throws and how are they different from each other?

    There are alternative throwing options that can sometimes yield better results (greater distance, accuracy, and more).
    • Grenade: Hold the disc upside down and throw like you would if you were throwing a backhand. This throw is used mostly on downhill shots, but can also be used with a high arc to go over an obstacle
    • Hatchet or Tomahawk: Throw the disc as if you are throwing sidearm, but use an overhead motion instead
    • Turbo-Putt: Grip a putter disc with each fingertip. With palm up and fingers spread, rest putter on your thumb, with 4 fingers on the backside of the rim. When throwing the disc towards the target, add spin by turning your wrist. This throw is known to be accurate but has a limited range most of the time
    • Thumber: Hold the disc as if you are going to throw it in an overhand motion, overhead throw similar to Tomahawk but keep your thumb on the underside of the disc
    • Roller: This can be thrown forehand or backhand. Meant to roll on the ground, this throw gets the disc to stay in motion for long distances
