We usually attack with 3 handlers, 2 poppers and 2 deep. Yesterday, our team played terribly and never quite adapted. Everybody on the sideline didn't see what we did different that was not working, this time.<br /> What are the common mistakes done when being cupped?<br /> What offensive strategy should be used when cupped? </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=27#post-82 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:17:56 +0000 DomArch 82@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>Just wondering what's happened to this site? Lot's of great stuff, but seems like it's fallen by the wayside? </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=26#post-80 Tue, 18 May 2010 08:47:48 +0000 yanyangarcia 80@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>what shoes best fit the ultimate? </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=19#post-51 Mon, 04 May 2009 00:06:22 +0000 ocho 51@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>So, I don't know if anyone else has seen anything like this but there is this throw I'm trying to develop that my friends and I named the AssHammer. You grip the disc like a forehand, bend over, and throw the disc through your legs and behind you. The disc flies rightside up like it would for a normal throw (not upside down).</p> <p>Its mainly a joke throw that could have some rare uses, but I think it really has a some potential. My friend recently did an asshammer pull that made it all the way into the other endsone with quite a bit of float.</p> <p>Anyways I'm tring to perfect my technique, and I'll maybe put an instructional video featuring me up on YouTube.</p> <p>So try it out,let me know what you think, and let everyone know that it is the ASSHAMMER!</p> <p>P.S. - Don't hit your crotch trying it (ouch)</p> <p>P.S. - Sorry if this is old news.</p> <p>P.S. - I never knew that Lights was my favorite Journey song until this weekend. Nice!</p> <p>Edit:<br /> Pros - Unexpected<br /> Funny<br /> Awesome<br /> Good potential distance<br /> Great for breaking the mark</p> <p>Cons - Not accuarate (you're facing away from the receiver)<br /> Difficult<br /> Less reliable than the two basic throws </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-14 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:31:08 +0000 Goodtogo 14@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>I'm starting a team and almost all of us are avid frolfers, i am wondering what the biggest difference in the fore arm or is there no difference? </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=25#post-76 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:21:08 +0000 killerfz 76@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>My team experienced defending against a split stack offense for the first time last weekend. I'd heard of this O strategy but never encountered it before. It seemed like they had specific, numbered cuts based on the lineup, often ending in a huck-though maybe that was just because we stopped the in cuts. My team struggled a bit defending against this new technique, especially the new players and i'd love to learn some more about it for the future.</p> <p> Is there anyone that runs this offense and could give me an in-depth explanation of the strategy and how the cuts work?</p> <p>Also, have you played against a split stack and have recommendations for defending it? I was thinking it would be similar to defense on a ho stack ("the clam") but didn't get to experiment much with that as our new players aren't yet comfortable with switches. </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=24#post-74 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:52:41 +0000 SkittlyRit 74@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>I know one of the rules of ultimate is 'a defensive player may never pick up the disk'.<br /> But consider the following scenario:<br /> Team A, on offense, commits a turnover to Team B, on defense, by sending the disk out of bounds. A player from Team A retrieves the disk from out of bounds and throws it to a player from Team B. Shouldn't the player from Team B be obligated to wait until the player from Team A catches up with his mark before he puts the disk in play?<br /> I'm asking because some jerk from my game last night decided to start play before I was back on the field after I retrieved the disk for him. He told me "there are no courtesies in ultimate". </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=5#post-9 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 10:29:14 +0000 confusion 9@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>I have a question regarding marking 1 on 1.</p> <p>When do I mark face-to-face and when I just run along with my mark? Which is better?</p> <p>The problem with face-to-face marking is that I have an eye on my mark but don't really know whre the disc is and have to rely on my teammates yelling 'up!' and it sometimes can be very tricky.</p> <p>The other style of marking is just running with the mark. I can see the disc all the time but it's easier to lose the guy I'm marking.</p> <p>Need some feedback on that... Thanks. </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=11#post-21 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 04:31:02 +0000 Joe Yardley 21@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>Hey everybody, just thought I would bring up the topic of the Hammer throw, I honestly think hammer first before any other throw now, people also call a close pass hammer throw a scooper. I find that it is almost impossible to cover since you can even throw it behind your head and people cant reach inward to stop a pass. </p> <p>Anyone have any stories or tips on hammer throws that would be awesome! </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=23#post-70 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:40:48 +0000 ocho 70@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>Hey, if you're like me then you enjoy watching ultimate so everyone should post links to their favorite Ultimate Frisbee videos and I'll add them to the OP and it'll be, like, a sick archive of awesome ultimate footage.</p> <p>Categories: </p> <p>Gameplay Videos (videos that actually show parts of, or emtire games.

Here's the issue: his base technique isn't too bad--his arm isn't overactive, his weight is on the proper side of his body, his release is reasonably flat--but the disc wobbles considerably when leaving his hand and while it starts flat or even a little i/o it usually starts turning over to the left (he is right handed). I advised him some on the proper grip and told him to practice with an exaggerated i/o, which seems to help at least some. What else can I tell him? Training techniques that others have used to perfect their flicks would be good to see here. </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=8#post-15 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:30:58 +0000 Goodtogo 15@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>Anyone have any good ideas for condition that will help in other game aspects? </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=21#post-63 Fri, 29 May 2009 14:44:13 +0000 Dewzy 63@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>So I just learned of this defense and it's confusing me as to how it would benefit over a traditional hold-force away/home defense.

I feel like this is one of the biggest areas where inexperienced teams struggle. You patiently work the disc through the defense, maintaining nice flow, and then all of the sudden you reach the EZ. There's less space to work in, maybe you're trying to transition out of a horizontal stack, and the handlers are itching to throw a score. Too often, a turnover results. As someone who's played with a lot of inexperienced teams, or teams that were just thrown together for a particular tournament, I see this stuff all the time. I'd love to see some standard set plays that I could utilize in these situations, like the zipper and whatnot. </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=4#post-5 Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:17:00 +0000 yityit2000 5@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>What are the most common mistakes when people huck? I'm a pretty good thrower and I want to take my playing to the next level. Can anyone give the common mistakes for both backhand and forehand hucks? Also, any tips in general would be fine too. </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=17#post-38 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:10:38 +0000 ocho 38@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>So I'm just curious about some Ultimate history, specifically anything related to an east vs west coast rivalry (USA). I get the idea that the two coasts are somewhat rivals but what are the specifics? Who is better now? Any great difining moments in ultimate history? Any really notable teams? Any links? </p> <p>This info would really be appreciated and useful for a paper I'm writing about a different coastal rivalry.</p> <p>Thank you... </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=15#post-35 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:34:38 +0000 ivar 35@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>It seems that there is a dearth of good online resources for new Ultimate players. UH has been the go to site for ages, and it's great to see some life breathed back into it. I was wondering though, if perhaps I could convince you to consider using Ultipedia.org as a base for publishing introductory articles ? The collaboration potential is very high, and there is already some 'seed' content. </p> http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/topic.php?id=14#post-30 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:12:32 +0000 ultimatetee 30@http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/bbpress/ <p>hey guys...
