As the summer ultimate season winds down, I was looking to put one of my new skills to use, and throw a left-handed flick in a game. I've been practicing left handed throws since last winter, so I knew it was time to bust one out. The tricky part is finding the right game situation, where I wouldn't be too obvious about testing something new, that could be interpreted as insulting if we were up by a lot.
As luck would have it, we were blowing out a team last Friday, and one of my friends who was subbing had been playing left handed all night. When I told him of my plan of wanting to catch a pull, a throw a short pass to him left-handed, he was on-board immediately. He even encouraged me to continue playing lefty after the flick...which I'm proud to say was completed :)
Knowing not to push my luck, I decided to stop after completing my first in-game lefty pass, but guarantee you it won't be my last. Now it's just a matter of increasing my confidence in that particular throw to the point I'm comfortable throwing it in a higher tier, and more stressful situation.
