A small amount of thought would show that half the throws made by beginners will be illegal. Also: How can there be a rule? Who is going to count the number of turns of a disc? And my own personal thought on it all: Stop mucking about and just play the game! Cheers Batty (Violently Happy, who can spin the disc and Strollers who never did) BTW Isn't there a certain pleasure in throwing a no spin pass and watching the idiot, sorry intended catcher, try to make something of it?
