Im going to go play disk golf later after work. My friend is good at throwing a frisbee and I am not. I cant seem to get them to go straight, they either flip upside down somehow or slice to the right with great distance into the heavy grass or trees. What are some good throwing techniques or stragety to make my bad throw a good one?

Just takes practice.
make sure the frisbee is dead flat when you release it to go straight, apart from that, it just takes practice
keep on praticing it will help a lot, ask you friend to teach or help you get better. make sure that when you throw the frisbee, don’t wiggle your arm try to make it straight.
there are two ways to throw (for the most part) from under your breast and from under your arm (down along your leg) in both cases the reason why yours aren’t flying straight is because, you are being lazy and are satisfied with your lackadaisical approach to what effort you want to put out and the amount of effort you should strive to put out. You have always got to get your hand past the level disc release point even in both release points you need to realize that you have to ad a little backspin to it as you lunge it forward it’s almost like that last touched edge by your fingertipps kind of hangs on sort of pulling back so it spins the opposite way it’s coming out. It is like taking a hoola hoop and throwing it out (standing up) and with a huge amount of back spin it goes out away from you almost sliding but when the slide catches up to the back spin you put on it it s spin takes over and still standing up it rolls back to you. So! you need to push your self to get the outside of your hand higher before releasing the disc, it is just like jogging instead of running, push yourself be critical and realize that in a stiff wind you need a lower to the ground take off point with the front of the disc raised up slightly so bend your knees and get down lower and you have to add more backspin. Smarter thrown discs will have less strokes than longer thrown discs by the end of the day if you need to get three down the middle to putt do it and by learning the new release point in today’s match the next time out try increasing distance while still being critical with the effort to keep the outside edge of the disc up and not drooping.
