The Backhand Drive

This is by far the most used throw from the tee in disc golf.
To get the most out of your backhand drive use your whole body, from your toes to your fingertips. Step into your throw, bring the disc from as far back as you can and make sure that the disc leaves your hand at exactly the same angle as you intend it to fly. Often players have the leading edge too high, which is like throwing with the hand break on, or start their throw with the disc held too high, creating an 'air bounce' effect, your shot will never reach its full potential like this.
