Here I describe various types of under the leg catches.
In one version you reach your arm under you leg to catch the disc.
In another version you swing your leg over the disc so that the disc travels under your leg while it is in flight. Then you catch it. James Wiseman would say this is technically a “the” catch since your hand is not restricted and it is not blind. However, I believe that the body mechanics and timing involved make this catch more difficult that the previous one.

Lisa demonstrates a little catch called the Piccolo.
This catch is a variation of the behind the head catch. It’s called a Piccolo because you grab it with two hands, similar to how you would hold a flute or piccolo when playing.
This catch is actually blind because as you spin into it you turn your gaze away from the disc.
To catch it, set the disc up flat over one shoulder. Then watch it as long as possible as you turn away from it. As the opposite shoulder passes under the disc, grab it with both hands.
Making the Piccolo sound is optional, but will gain you bonus points :-).
Lisa describes how to do a Window set.
This trick is a variation of a with the spin behind the back set. By using the opposite hand to grab your toe in a bad attitude position, you create a hoop, or window. Then as you set the disc it passes through the window.
This can be used as a pass or as a set to yourself as Lisa demonstrates in the video.

Here I describe how to do an inverted nail delay. The inverted hand position is where you twist your wrist so that your palm and elbow are facing up. This arm position is considered a restriction in freestyle frisbee because it reduces the movement of you elbow.
So, to get center delay control when in this position, you must move your whole body to follow the disc while keeping your arm and hand locked in place.
With clock spin, the natural rotation of the disc will cause it to turn into your wrist so you must be quick to move and keep it in the center.
On your right hand, with clock spin the disc will fall and rotate under your arm pit. It’s easy to allow this to turn into a with-the-spin crank. Don’t let it. Force the disc back to the center by rotating your body.
Once you’ve mastered this delay position, try setting it or taking it under your leg while in this position. It’s a double restriction!
Matt Gauthier explains the Invert Backside 50 50 body roll.
“50 50” comes from the fact the its uses only 1 arm, or only 50% of what a normal body roll would use. It’s “invert” because the trick is started with your back facing the wind. And it’s “backside” because it goes behind your head, like a back roll.
This trick is one of the more advanced body rolls. I can hardly describe it so watch to video to see how it’s done.
