How to Throw Behind the Back

The behind-the-back release travels behind your back on the way out. Power comes from wrist snap, not arm swing, which makes it a disguise weapon in tight spaces.

Step-by-step technique

  1. 1Bring the stick behind your back.
  2. 2Guide the motion with your bottom hand.
  3. 3Snap your wrists as the head comes around.
  4. 4Keep your head up and your eyes on the target.

Best for: Disguised passes and shots in tight spaces.
