What is a Blade?

• A. A fast throw with high arc
• B. A throw that stays in the air
• C. A throw that comes down fast with a vertical angle
• D. A throw that curves sideways

Answer: (C)

A blade is a throw released with a nose-down angle that makes the disc dive and come down quickly, showing a steep vertical descent through the air. This flight path prioritizes speed and a rapid drop rather than staying aloft or drifting sideways. It’s useful when you want the disc to reach the target fast, especially in crowded zones or when defenders are tight. To execute, release with a slight downward tilt and drive through with pace so gravity helps the disc drop steeply toward the ground.
