I've never seen Tank throw either! I would guess though, it depends on how you use the shot. If you are looking for a lot of movement from left to right or visa versa, go with something like a Blaze or Whjppet. Pure speed/distance over things....Illusion, Excaliber etc. Anything sharp nosed and widerimmed will do...though stability and "sleekness" are key here. *Frisbee Freaks Unite!*

I've never seen Tank throw either! Yes you have...Goof Well, I have been working on a thumber at ;east, maybe thats why Boro said He's never seen it cause its not been refined by any means. I use and love the Firebird or Whippet for this shot... Like Boro said, You want something with stability. Your not necessarily looking for something sharp nosed, but STABLE! I recommend a Firebird, Max, Pred, Spirit, Whippet ..but by all means use all your discs and see what each one does, I garauntee, you'll find something that works for ya... You should see Schwebby, throw a thumber with a 10 years old Valkyrie. Craziest flight I have ever seen.. Happy Overhanding! Champion Fecal Flipper

I never see him use it because he is rarely in a spot where there isn't another option... ...that said, every player at the pro level has some sort of pitch out overhand, sidearm, scoobie etc....using it in the fairway/teebox is another story. *Frisbee Freaks Unite!*

Posts: 529 Jan 19 09 2:14 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	But I throw overhand a lot, so if you want my advice... throw a Flick. More suited for the shot than a Pred or anything else, in my opinion. You can watch Monty Koz and Geoff Bennett launch them on the Discraft overhand clinic video. Scott Papa does a good job explaining the shot. Better than the other two anyway. Last Edited By: FlickThumber Jan 19 09 2:26 AM. Edited 1 times.

Do it again, eliminate some more and then make your final cut. I use a Teerex. I don't have a huge arm but I can consistantly put it within 20 feet from 100+ feet out. More vinyl music than you can possibly imagine.

I use the most overstable disc in the bag for a 225-250 foot shot with a climb to the left, a single flip, and a fall to the right. A Z Xtra. For tight spiral, tunnel shot style, reduce the overstableness of the disc.
