backhand throw
Disc golf fundamental
A backhand throw is a throwing motion where the arm sweeps across the body before releasing, with the back of the hand facing the target during the windup.
The term appears most often in disc sports like Ultimate or disc golf, where the backhand is the fundamental throw: She launched a perfect backhand throw across the field.
The motion contrasts with forehand or overhand throws.
