The way I throw a thumber is to use a similar grip, but hold the disk down flat in font of my chest, and just flick your thumb like you would when you click your fingers. It isn't useful for very much, but it's good to have more throws.

I think that this is one of the best instructional videos for ultimate frisbee throws.

I'm on a high school ultimate team, we refer to the wrist flip as a chicken wing.

I play in Sacramento, CA and we call it a chicken wing too.

agreed, so wrong. how does it make sense when you're using more arm which equals more opportunity to be blocked. wrist has and always will be the way to go.

thumbers look cooler in flight if you release them more horizontal.

it also fades faster and is less useful usually if you release horizontally
