Which foot is designated as the pivot foot when holding the disc?

• A. Right foot
• B. Left foot
• C. Pivot foot
• D. Back foot

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that when you have the disc, one foot stays planted on the ground as your base while you rotate your body to throw. That anchored foot is your pivot foot. It serves as the fixed axis for the throw, and the other foot moves or steps to help you position and release the disc. The term pivot foot is the precise way to describe which foot is doing that anchoring, regardless of whether you happen to be standing with the left or right foot forward.

So, you choose and keep one foot in contact with the ground while you rotate and pass, using the other foot to adjust your stance and aim. This is why “pivot foot” is the best answer. The other options describe which foot might be used, but they don’t name the action of staying planted and rotating around that foot.
