A disc-golf tomahawk is an overhand throw, not simply a backhand thrown high. Stable-to-overstable discs usually resist early turn under an overhead release and produce a predictable pan or barrel-roll finish, but the exact flight depends on release angle, height, wind and disc wear. Start with a durable, flat-feeling utility driver, use open space, and avoid repeated hard throws if shoulder discomfort develops.

Buying tips
- Use a deliberately overstable disc first; a neutral driver can turn unpredictably overhead.
- Practice in a clear field and learn the disc’s pan direction before using it near trees.
- Warm up the shoulder and stop if repeated overhead throws cause pain.
