Thumb Position - Disc Golf Mentor

Changing the thumb position can help change the forward angle of the disc. This can be helpful if you often throw nose-up, which means that the front of the disc is pointed upwards as it flys. This angle is less aerodynamic and reduces how far you can throw because there’s more wind resistance on the bottom of the disc. To correct this, you should throw with the nose down, which simply means that your disc should be flatter in relation to its flight path. One good way to do this is to move your thumb more to the outside of the disc. You’ll notice the angle of the disc starts to point downwards. Play around with thumb positioning and changing the forward angle of the disc until you are consistently releasing flat.
