Paul Kenny shares his tip for better cuffing. Its simple, if you touch the disc while it’s on the way up you can use less pressure to change the angle. Thus you lose less spin.

Ryan Young teaches a cuffing drill
Ryan Young shows how to practice a basic cuff. Throw the disc on a steep angle with lots of spin. Then, make your hand flat and push it against the rim of the disc. The disc will change angle and flatten out.
Cuffs are useful to correct the angle of the disc when air brushing.
Paul Kenny Demonstrates the Two Handed Turnover
Paul Kenny explains the Two Handed Turnover, one of the most basic turnover tricks in Freestyle Frisbee.
To perform the trick, start with a rim delay. With clock spin, rim delay on your left hand. As the top of the disc turns towards you use your right hand nail to press onto the top at about 3 o’clock. This will cause the disc to tip steeper and eventually turn over. As it goes upside down, use your left hand to pull the disc up onto your right hand so that it is centered on your right hand nail.
One thing to consider is that when the disc is turned over it reverses it’s spin. That is, a disc spinning clockwise while right side up will be spinning counter clockwise when it is upside down.
The Scoop Brush
Ryan Young Demonstrates the scoop brush. This brush is very useful for making disc steeper as a save when its too far out in front of you on a air brushing run.
With clock spin, use your right hand. Touch the disc slightly on top at about 3 o’clock. Push down and forward as the disc rolls into your hand. Then with the disc at 6 o’clock or so in the palm of your hand, finish the brush by rolling the disc off your hand while pushing upwards. This will cause the disc to lift into the air on a steeper angle, allowing you to be able to gain control again.
Finesse Brushing Drill
One way to gain maximum control of an air brush is to allow the disc to roll across your hand as you brush. In this video, Ryan Young shows a drill to practice just that. Learning this finesse brush will allow for maximum angle changes during the brush so the disc may be saved or set on a perfect angle for the next trick.
The Under the Leg Pull Set
Ryan Young demonstrates the Under the Leg nail delay pull directly into a set. With clock spin, start with a center delay. Set it up flat a few inches. Then reach your right hand under the inside of your right leg. Aim for about 9 o’clock on the rim. As the disc lands on your nail, pull it under your leg using the rim. This will cause the disc to pivot on a rim delay for a fraction of a second. Rim swoop the disc to your right side and set it back into the air. Timing here is key. The longer and / or faster the swoop, the steeper the set will be. So, you can set it perfectly flat, or you can set it on a steep angle. This set is very useful for going into other restricted delay pulls, spins, chest rolls, or catches as Ryan demonstrates.
Behind the Back Pull
Ryan Young demonstrates how to do a Behind the Back Pull.
With clock spin, set the disc on your left side. Then reach behind your back with your right hand. Take it in softly and let it swoop behind your back.
One Handed Self Backhand Throw
Ryan Young explains how to throw yourself a backhand throw with lots of spin. This is used to practice your nail delay tricks.
The Seven Stages of the Center Delay
Stage 1: Flat Self Throw
Stage 2: Soft Take
Stage 3: Rim Delay
Stage 4: Changing the Angle on purpose
Stage 5: Using the Angle Change to Get Back to the Center
Stage 6: Consistently Getting Back to the Center
Stage 7: Full Center Delay Control
