what is the name of an upside down flick?

[ManU]

standard 2 finger FH (flick) grip

but the disc is upside down?

usually used situationally to get out of trouble or around obstacles

Not to nit-pick, but a scoober is a hammer/tomahawk thrown with your feet in a backhand position. (right foot across, making your shoulder lead instead of your chest instead of being squared forward with is the typical fh positioning in ultimate.)

The shot the OP is describing sounds like a fh grenade, though I've never really heard a special name for it.

A scoober is a backhand tomahawk in Ultimate, but I have heard it used for a low thrown thumber that is meant to hit the ground and slide. The grenade is similar, but is thrown at an angle and is meant to skip up and drop in on a fade to a guarded pin position. I think at this point, most disc golfers have adopted the term Scoober, or Scooby to be a thumber thrown to slide across the ground. Does it really matter?

The grenade was explained to me as a backhand thrown with the disc upside down, which makes it hyzer very sharply and early, used mostly as a get out of trouble shot.

I've always thought a Grenade was a spike hyzer thrown with the disc upside down.

Not sure what to call the throw in the OP, I used to call it a Scooby, but was proven wrong:

The OP is describing a scoober. You don't have to throw no-look to have it be a scoober. You can throw a scoober while squared up, it just isn't as useful as a break-mark shot normally.

A low release and high release backhand are still backhands. Your hand position and release style define the throw, not your body position.

I call it Money.

Or an anny tommy.

 

[BrotherDave]

I call it "too many adult beverages."

Sweet! New trick shot to practice during field work. I love throwing goofy shots.

Around here we call it a pancake. Land it flat, watch it stick.

 

[ManU]

I think I will stick to calling it a Scoober or Scooby

anyway it is now my preferred method of putting from 15 feet and in and has essentially eliminated all of those stupid annoying frustrating bogey inducing missed putts that I used to have

yes it's unconventional but for me highly effective and if it means I am shaving strokes then all the better

I basically "2 inch punch" Scooby from about my neck height
a short sharp stroke

as with most putts you still have to consider wind

The final arbiter of all disputes says that in Ultimate this throw is called a Scoober: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_disc_techniques#Scoober

Haha, I use a Scoober for shorty putts too, but usually 10 feet and in And never in a tournament.
