I played Disc Golf for the first time yesterday and came across a question that I couldn't find an answer to anywhere else. In putting situations, is there any rule that disallows releasing a disc perpendicular to the ground? I Quickly learned throwing it like that from short distances allows more control and makes short putts a little easier than throwing it parallel to the ground and gliding it in. Anyone know?

I don't believe there are ever any limitations on the throwing style.

No Rule
Sounds like you need to learn to throw a frisbee

Said it was my first time. And I was speaking about instances where you're a short distance and just need to toss it in.

For now, I'm more accurate throwing it that way.

wtf? you throw it up in the air?

as stated above, no rules on throwing style that I'm aware of.

if its in you win, no rule.

Speaking of Disc Golf, I played at Research Park today, and on the back nine, #13, the wide open first hole out in the back pasture, I aced it with a tomahawk throw. Second ace on that course!
