For the proper grip (see Photos 1-3 above), make a fist with your palm up, open your thumb to the hitchhiking position. Loosen your fingers just enough to slip the disc between your palm and finger tips and place your thumb down on the top-side grip strip of your Hyperflite disc just as you might hold a dinner plate if you were holding it upside down. Now use your other hand to lightly grip the far side of the disc. This will allow you to properly position your throwing hand on disc. For the basic backhand throw, refer to photos 1-3 (below). Avoid placing your index finger along the outside edge of the disc, as this type of grip will not enable you to make accurate throws over longer distances.
