Many disk golf enthusiasts understand that it in order to play the game well one must know how to use the correct lingo. Throwing in disk golf, for example, goes by a ridiculous number of names. So before you spend money on a bunch of disk golf supplies you should learn some of the terminology.

A helix throw produces as “S” flight shape of the disk. This is a highly-skilled shot that requires knowledge of disc flight dynamics. This shot works well to avoid obstacles in the disc golf course.

Rollers are shots designed to go short distances in the air and then roll towards their target. Rollers are advanced throws and can be done using a forehand or backhand stroke. Often times players with weaker arms will choose to use a roller throw because disks that roll travel farther.

An interesting style of putt is the turbo put; the turbo put uses the thumb and fingers to propel the disc into the air.
