I'm not talking the standard step-forward, push back up type, I'm talking stepping at angles and especially stepping sideways. You'll see a noticeable improvement in your pivoting speed, which will in turn allow you to develop more effective fakes and generally become more capable with the disc in your hands.

I've heard it said that you need to perform a throw 10,000 times in order to master it (e.g., 10,000 forehands), which is perhaps an ultimate paraphrasing of the 10,000 hours rule--for the uninitiated, this states simply that in order to reach an expert level of proficiency at something--ANYTHING--you need to invest about 10,000 hours into experience/practice/whatever you want to call it.

There's likely no play more exciting in Ultimate than the huck. A team puts everything on the line for one big throw, for a moment of glory. But how do the best throwers in the game throw the disc so far and with so much accuracy?

The funny thing is half the people teaching ultimate teach people to pivot as if it is central to being a good thrower. And the other half that don’t stress pivoting, aren’t stressing not pivoting… they’re just ignoring it.

Many of you may be familiar with the standard set of 100 throws. They're effective, but there are other aspects we can vary (speed, height, etc...). So here are 2 other sets of throws you can use.
