THROWING METHODS

Some are good and some are so very bad……..Greg Pines

If videos do not open you may need to right-click and select ‘save target’

The Mariano Rivera: my new method, it’s not something I can describe, when I beat you, you will know. I can show you what happens sometimes when you use this method, it is very aggressive.

Speech Impediment Man Method: named after the man who does it, another method I cannot describe, but it does involve throwing from farther away than you need to and sort of crooked….this I do have on video.

The Horseshoe: this is an open hand deliberate toss, similar to how you would throw a horseshoe.

The Reverse Tumbler: this is an extreme backspin method, must be bad on your wrists. This method creates a lot of spin and the washer bounces out a lot., however sometimes you will get a forward bounce into the box on short throws on grass(Bermuda lawns only)……..it will also propel you to mediocrity

The Flying Saucer: this is a pretty solid method, open hand toss which also makes the washer spin sideways like a flying saucer. (some washers do not spin as well as others)

The Frisbee Lift: very similar to the flying saucer. Consistent and allows for a soft landing which means less bounce outs. The method of champions. Also wind resistant.

The Gypsy Method: named by Aaron, this is a method where you throw the washer very low and do not follow through. Effective some of the time.

The F.U. Method: this is Carlos’ style where it looks like he is saying F.U. by crossing his arms in a perpendicular way.

Shotgun Style: this is Mario’s style where he throws all 4 washers at once….high risk = high reward is his motto.

Frisbee Launch: this is Mario’s other style where he Frisbees the washers into the air very high, and I would say very inaccurate too.
