Book Reviews of Ultimate Techniques and Tactics

Book Review: A complete book for improving your game
Summary: 3 Stars

Unlike the other book on ultimate (by Studarus), this one assumes from the outset that you are already pretty familiar with the game and the terminology. This book concentrates on techniques, skills, and drills to improve both individual skills and team play. The writing is good and the diagrams are nice.

I have only two criticisms of the book. The first is that the "entry bar" is pretty high: for example, if you don't know what an inside-out break-mark throw is at the outset, you'll need to spend a bit of time paging through the glossary, and if you don't know how to throw a hammer, this book won't help you. The second is that the writing occasionally gets long-winded, and you may discover you've just read four whole pages of prose that seem to just boil down to pithy advice like "when marking, keep your weight above your feet and stay balanced".

Despite these criticisms, the book is good, and there is a lot of material here I haven't seen elsewhere in print.
