He demonstrates a step-by-step approach, including keeping the left hand tight during the pull-through phase, using the left hand to stop rotation and start spinning with the body, and employing a "wide-tight-pull" motion to generate power.

hey guys i'm ezra with team otb and uh i just want to make this quick video to show you guys what the left arm should do during the backhand throw to increase distance by increasing how fast you rotate so the main thing with the left hand is just to keep it nice and tight as you're pulling the disc through but there is a way you can actually use that left hand to increase your spin right like i talked about so what i like to do is when i'm reaching back with the disc i like to also get my left hand away from my body so as i'm reaching back away that that puts me in a place where i can actually throw my hand down and get that momentum to stop my rotation and start spinning with my body before pulling the disc through which creates lag and uh kind of like a whip motion which is of course what we're looking for because that just launched the disc so get it wide and then pull it tight right before you start pull with the disc and then as i get the disc into this power pocket hitbox um that's when i that's when i actually move my left hand back away from my body again and this this motion right here all kind of pushes my left shoulder forward towards the target which increases spin even more so wide tight and then pull it away and then follow through and that is the basic motion let's see what it looks like in an actual throat all right so i hope you enjoyed that video hopefully it was helpful and maybe you guys can use that left hand a little bit more efficiently now um if you guys want to like and subscribe that would help me out a lot also use code uh ezra on otbdisks.com for free shipping also let me know in the comments if you guys want to see more videos like this with just like 102 little quick tips to help improve your game but yeah thanks for watching and i will see you in the next video
