So I don't know what the shot is called but it is pretty much a thumber grip that you pulled across your chest backhand. Works pretty good for getting out of trouble where your regular backhand doesn't have room. Anyway, I don't know what it's called or if there is even a technical term for it.

I call anything like that a 'brush shot'.
Scooby shot? That is what peeps in Texas call it.

i call it the "pussy foot"
any shot that scoots on the top of the disc is a pussy foot

Sounds like your describing a grenade...

We goof around on the course with it. I showed a young lad how to throw it and he was throwing over 400ft in just a few shots. Thrown flat, it's just a backhand. I typically use it as a roller to get out of trouble.
Were gonna need some video of this shot

I agree. Reading the OP, seems kind of like a regular RHBH with the disc upside-down...think I'm missing something.
According to the Scott Stokely Video's that's a grenade. As soon as it leaves your hand it imediately starts going vertical and when it gets vertical it drops straight down. Good for shorter shots going over trees when you don't want any left or right action like you'd get with an overhand throw.

to me it sounds like a scooby shot. I think he is trying to go under stuff not over with the shot he is describing.

May have to check out the vid, but I think I get the idea here - never tried that, but I have thrown upside- down in specific circumstances to get skip.
I believe that's a grenade.

I tried something like that a few weeks ago. Only it was semi overhand, maybe a 40-50 degree angle (arm across the body). I was in a tree, left of it's trunk. and the basket was 20-30 ft around on the opposite side...CHING!!! WTF?!?!

From what I understand if it's in the air it's a grenade if you're trying to skip it or 'scoot' it on the top of the disc it's a scooby. I think most people use them synonymously though, as I've seen a guy through a grenade and call it a scooby.
yup. scoob=grenade=that shot.:thmbup:
anyone profecient with that shot? im good with aggressive thumber shots to about 200' and tommys to about 100' for get out of trouble stuff, but have a really hard time with early release (*snicker*) when i try the scoob.:\ might try it inside of 60' for get-out-of-trouble, but its a damn hard shot to get down.

That makes me wonder if this is what he is trying to describe. Didnt he just say he taught some kid to throw 400 plus with it? seems unlikely.
yeah imma have to call bs on that one.:\
biggest arms ive seen (500-600'+ club) can only get that out about 300' tops.
i think youre high, chrishysell.:thmbdown:
