How to Pancake Catch in Ultimate Frisbee

The pancake catch is an essential skill for competitive Ultimate Frisbee. While the one-handed lobster catches you casually employ at the beach can come in handy from time to time, particularly in inclement conditions such as rain and wind, the pancake catch should be your go-to approach. Using two hands will help you focus throughout the catch. Errant throws that might have bounced off your single hand will be corralled between your two arms and possession will be maintained.
