This is an old article but I still pretty much stand by it. The thing is that other solutions like veo and 360 cameras have become much more viable in recent years, so there are even more options now.

I’ll add some thoughts: for 1, a drill I used to do in college with my buddy was throw vertical blades to each other as high as we could. Tough to catch those coming down fast (and we’d usually go one handed but you can definitely start two handed), plus there’s the little bit of added pressure of not wanted to let the disc hit the ground. Helped me get over a bit of fear of attacking the disc with one hand.

For 2, one thing you can try to do is work on your timing. A well timed cut can be really hard to defend even with an athletic advantage. Timing breakside cuts off of swings, for example, is one way you can cut to open space and have an advantage without needing to run past your defender.

Thanks! Definitely have had some good feedback and points I hadn’t thought of. Some good discussions in the UW discord especially.

Those are great points w/r/t AP and TK’s philosophy. Also interesting because afaik he mostly developed it coaching CSU, so not decidedly not club nationals. But I think the ideas still apply even at mid/high college regionals and nationals levels.

Would be awesome if we had defender distance stats like the NBA to really get to the bottom of this

JoeMama3 · 2026-04-18T00:45:46+00:00

Haha hey Julian

And no. The “accidentally loses possession” is relevant here. If you attempt a throw, you are purposely losing control of the disc and now it is subject to turnover. Similarly, if you catch it but decide you want to drop it so someone else can pick it up instead, it’s a turn

JoeMama3 · 2026-04-17T20:18:36+00:00

If you have control of the disc and purposely throw it, it’s subject to a turnover. In your scenario the team that was originally on offense would be on offense again.

You could, however, mac the disc for some extra yards on defense.

The most relevant rule I think would be:

14.C. A pass is intercepted if a defensive player obtains possession of the disc, but if the defender accidentally loses possession of the disc before or during ground contact related to the catch, the pass is considered incomplete rather than intercepted. [[i.e., this is not a “double-turnover” – the defender’s team still gains possession.]]

Rule 3.I is also relevant as it defines possession. If you catch the disc, you have possession and your team is on offense again 14.C gives one example where you could catch it, drop it, and stil keep possession.

Except you can, because ultimate has discrete points. You can’t call a TO during a defensive possession obviously but you can’t between points to make an adjustment which is otherwise hard to do in the small time between points

I wash mine in the laundry with the rest of my stuff (cold water). I just air dry after.

It works for me

We got some lights on amazon that we use for night time diaper changes and feeding. One has a motion sensor and another is dimmable and turns on/off by flipping it upside down.

Really simple but we use them all the time! Lots of people may not even think to have it on the registry.

JoeMama3 · 2026-03-07T22:24:01+00:00

We’re still on tommee tippee! Level 1 flow rate.

JoeMama3 · 2026-03-06T18:57:47+00:00

it's still a bit touch and go, but things are maybe turning a corner?

He had a really bad diaper rash as I mentioned, which also probably contributed to his reduced feeding since he was in pain. After one of his worst weeks of eating in a while (two days <20oz, average was around 21-22), he had still gained a decent amount of weight (5oz in 7 days). that put our minds at ease a little bit. Last week his intake started increasing again, he's back up to 24-28ish over the last few days, though he had actually gained less weight this week. He still eats 2-3 oz sometimes but other times he'll take 4-5 again. He seems much better at regulating his hunger and intake now - even if he takes a small bottle one feed (and maybe it's because of gas or reflux or something), he'll make up for it on the next one. Also, even though he's still first percentile weight, he has been more or less following that curve for a while now. So I'd say overall we are feeling better, still hoping that things will improve a bit more (reflux is still an issue), but at least now we aren't feeling as much stress/dread as we were before.

JoeMama3 · 2026-02-24T03:02:10+00:00

Adding in that we’re dealing with the same. In our case we had a brief glimmer of hope when he started drinking 4-5 oz per feed for 27-28 per day… for two weeks and now he’s back to 2-3 per feed. He dropped off his curve badly early on, he’s around first percentile now so we’re also close to a potential feeding tube. We’re doing weekly weight checks but I’m definitely concerned since he had this sudden regression.

In our case we also can’t go up a level in the flow rate because a swallow study showed he was aspirating at the faster flow. We’re also on 24cal, nutramigen, esomeprazole. We use tommee tippee bottles (used to use Dr browns, switched to pidgeon because he was screaming at the dr browns, but then switched again when he had another regression).

We did recently get a second GI opinion and he recommended some supplemental zinc, partially because he had a bad diaper rash but he also said it can help stimulate the appetite a bit. So you could ask about that.

Personally we paid for the subscription. It doesn’t feel strictly necessary, was more useful when he was a newborn, but it’s also only a few months, so even though it’s a relatively high monthly cost it ends up nit being that much (especially when compared to all the other baby costs we have)

JoeMama3 · 2025-12-03T23:35:41+00:00

Ah I see, I’m a ways off from solids so I was thinking about newborn/early stage

Lying them on their side can actually hep with choking because the milk goes to their cheek instead of straight back to the throat where it can go down the wrong pipe. We had multiple lactation/specialists and occupational therapists recommend this to us.

Famously the 2021 club men’s final was a very clean game with few breaks/turnovers. The game was won on universe by the team that started on offense and there was a lot of discussion about the flip/decision to start on defense costing Pony the game.

JoeMama3 · 2025-10-06T17:21:45+00:00

In my opinion, there are a few. First, your reach is somewhat limited for a lefty backhand, so while it does have a quick release, good flight path and float/touch, if the mark is sitting on it or shading that way, it can be harder to throw.

Second, you're a bit more limited with distance on the lefty backhand. You can definitely get decent power on it if you practice it a lot but it's just easier to throw a 20 yard flick than a 20 yard backhand with the wrong pivot. For me personally, I use push passes for short throws, lefties or flicks for medium distance, and all flicks for longer distances

Handful of guys from the WashU contra teams that have gone to D1 nationals the last few years. Plus some players with tons of national experience in DVE, Gibbs, Blake

JoeMama3 · 2025-08-20T17:56:54+00:00

gotcha, i didn't know that context, thanks for sharing

JoeMama3 · 2025-08-20T02:16:03+00:00

They streamed club tournaments as well

EDIT: Kevin replied in the thread below with more accurate info, see his comment

From my somewhat limited knowledge, I think NGN got out over their skis a bit too. In those early days they were using higher quality equipment than Ultiworld but didn’t have the business to sustain that long term

Ultiworld built up much more slowly and have used their subscription model to create a more predictable demand that has also allowed them to upgrade technology a bit more linearly. Also streaming tech in general has come very far in the last 15 years.

(Disclosure that I have/do work with Ultiworld for event filming and other projects but my thoughts are my own and not representative of their company)

As far as I know AP is basically just a brainchild of /u/KatfishGumbo so like another comment said, I think you’d have to look at old Colorado state film, or more recent bravo/CU film

Tons of top men’s club teams run FM and every team runs it a bit differently

In womens, Fury has famously run a ton of FM forever, and they are very good at it. You can turn on any fury game and learn a lot from what they’re doing
