How do I properly throw a disc efficiently far?
Throwing a disc efficiently far requires proper technique and practice. Here are the steps to follow:
- Warm up: Start with dynamic stretches and arm circles to prepare your body for throwing.
- Grip: Grip the disc firmly with your index finger on the rim and your middle and ring fingers inside the rim.
