What is the name of a throw that can be added to both backhand and forehand?

• A. High release
• B. Low release
• C. Sidearm
• D. Hammer

Answer: (B)

The concept here is release height and how you adapt a throw to different grips. A low release means letting go of the disc closer to the ground, creating a flat, skimming trajectory. This is a variation you can apply to both backhand and forehand grips—by adjusting your grip, wrist, and elbow so the disc leaves your hand at a lower point, you can keep the disc under defenders or along the ground to reach a teammate in tight space. That versatility—being able to use the same low-release idea with either grip—is why it’s the best answer.

The other options describe different throws or release ideas that aren’t as universally applicable across both grips. A sidearm is essentially a forehand throw, not a release variation that you add to backhand. A hammer is a distinct overhand throw with a high arc. A high release is just the opposite release point and, while useful, doesn’t capture the same cross-grip versatility as a low release.
