Why can't women huck?
So, I've been generating the thumbnails for the videos on the UPA's College Championship Series website. This oh-so-difficult task means I have to watch these videos (oh, the horror) of ultimate. Heaven forbid. Watch ultimate. Woe is me.
I've been watching these and each time I see one of the women players put a disc up, I can't help but think, "Good lord, woman, don't put it as high as long!"
Every time.
I mean, check out the women's division round three video. Both of the hucks are freaking HIGH.
What the heck is it that these women can't huck for crap? Is it that they need to put it high so that it floats longer, to allow teammates to get downfield? Is it biometrically easier to release a disc with the angle on it that makes it go up-up-up? Guys' hucks aren't normally this floaty. I think a guy would be ridiculed for a huck that looks like these do.
Am I just jealous that my forehand hucks were never more than 49 yards long? Could that be the problem or source of my criticism?
You know, that could be it.
But, geez, woman, put it flatter.
