Improve your game and impress your friends by trying the tomahawk and thumber throws next time you're on the disc golf course. The tomahawk throw is a special technique needed when there is an obstacle(s) between you and the chains. It's a moderately difficult shot, but it will be necessary to use when a group of trees is covering your line of sight. The technique to these two throws is to throw the disc overhand, similar to throwing a baseball. You want to throw the disc hard and high over the top of your head. The grip for a tomahawk throw: two-finger grip. Squeeze the disc between your thumb and your index and middle fingers. These two fingers should be placed along the rim of the disc. The grip for a thumber throw: hold tight while your thumb faces forward and runs along the inner lip of the disc. The run-up should be smooth; stop on your left foot and release into the air! Watch this short clip from disc golf expert, Dave Roper from the University of Utah, for proper technique.
