This, except I call it a Thammer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_disc_techniques#ThumberIt's a hammer with a thumb grip that's the mirror of a normal hammer. (I'm assuming the Thumber in the poll is the thumber forehand). |

No Ian, the thumb hammer is a thumber. The thumb forehand is not on the list because it will only get one vote.

What about the upside-down backhand? Is there a name for that throw? I'm a big fan, although I can't recall if I've ever actually thrown it in a game. Surely I must have!  - Seppo #22 |

Backhand, for sure. It's my most accurate, most powerful and longest throw.

Over head push pass. I know Brett Mazuka taught me to throw them and i haven't stopped since.

Mine is like a overhead scoober or a horizontal hammer above my head. Its actually more accurate than my backhand  |

I know a guy who cannot throw a backhand for less than 20 yards for shit. He can pull it for a brick, unleash a huge 70 yard huck, but not a 5 yard dump... unless it's a high release floaty bullshit throw. It's quite hilarious. |

Favorite throw: forehand. But that is mainly due to being forced forehand for the first 2 years of playing ultimate... |

I love forehand as much as the next guy, but there's something extra special about throwing a good hammer that takes the cake.

Nothing beats throwing scoobers all over a weak zone like I did last weekend in league play.

The throw I'm most skilled at is forehand... but, to me, Hammer is funner to throw... so I say Hammer's my favorite.
Just something seeing it fly like that...

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.

When it comes to my most accurate/easy to use throw, I'm definitely a forehand guy. But when it comes to what throw is super fun, I love me some scoobers.
