Which throw is commonly used indoors and sometimes outdoors?

• A. Hammer
• B. Scoober
• C. Forehand
• D. Elevator Pass

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is the use of a high-arc loft throw designed to get the disc over defenders in tight spaces. An elevator pass is thrown with a steep, vertical arc so the disc sails well above nearby players and drops into the intended receiver. This makes it especially effective indoors, where space is limited and defenders can swarm around cutting lanes; a lofty pass can clear that traffic and deliver the disc to the target without getting blocked. Outdoors, wind and variable conditions make such high lofts riskier, but the elevator pass is still used in situations where you need a safe path over a crowded zone or tall defenders, or when weather prompts you to favor height over a flat, fast throw. The other throws differ in their typical flight paths and purposes: they generally aim for quicker, more controlled deliveries at lower arcs, which isn’t ideal for getting over multiple defenders in a confined indoor setting.
