	The fastest throw possible in the game is capped at 18.7 metres per second (scoring at above 18.5m/s will be rounded up to 19m/s on the scoreboard). So how do we generate the fastest possible shot speed in the game? The answer is by accumulating the following:		The fastest throw possible in the game is capped at 18.7 metres per second (scoring at above 18.5m/s will be rounded up to 19m/s on the scoreboard). So how do we generate the fastest possible shot speed in the game? The answer is by accumulating the following:
	* '''Player Movement''' - 12m/s can be generated by your real life movement. So that is the speed of your controller as you release the trigger at the apex of your swing. This speed is generated from your elbow swinging, your shoulder rotating, your hips twisting and your feet pushing. As covered in the accuracy section, utilise the whole body to generate your movement		* '''Player Movement'''- 12m/s can be generated by your real life movement.

	* '''Wrist flick''' - 2m/s is also generated by your controller movement input, however this is not taken from your directional movement, but from the rotational spin added as you flick your wrist with your shot. As a newbie this isn’t worth worrying about, however that extra 2m/s can be very valuable at higher level play.		* '''Wrist flick''' - 2m/s is also generated by your controller movement input, however this is not taken from your directional movement, but from the rotational spin added as you flick your wrist with your shot.

	EchoVR is played in a zero gravity, virtual environment. This means some real laws of physics do not necessarily apply here. Don’t get me wrong, most physical sporting concepts will translate directly i.e distance, range, control and momentum. But generally speaking, It is best to first approach this game with a child-like mind of how to move in this new world.		EchoVR is played in a zero gravity, virtual environment.

	'''TIP''' - As you meet other players in Echo, you will come across recommended custom throwing settings. You are free to experiment with custom settings via the in-game settings menu, however I strongly advise to keep the default. At least for the first few months of playing. Personally, I play on default throw settings myself, even having experimented with them in the past. But if you do decide to change your settings, keep a clear record of changes you make and be scientific about it. Make one change at a time and test the difference each time.

	What is a regrab? Very early on, EchoVR players discovered they could accumulate speed in the arena when pushing off from other moving players. Over time, this technique evolved into a team strategy for rapid movement called “Regrabbing”. In simple terms: Find a teammate, grab them and pull through.		What is a regrab?

	'''NOTE''' - In your learning journey you will inevitably find yourself frustrated at another learner's regrab ability. When this inevitably happens, please remember: It takes two to tango. However, saying that, one very good regrabber should be able to compensate for their technique and carry someone else. So… very rarely is there nothing you could have done to regrab better with someone. Stay patient, and try to learn your training partners' regrab cadence. Everyone regrabs differently.

	A basic understanding of regrabs will get you across the arena faster, but you should quickly realise there’s a lot more to it once actually stacked. A full 8 week course could be made just on regrabs. To save time this lesson will break down arguably the biggest mental shift in your regrabbing: Reading the bounce. Simple to understand but extremely difficult to actually learn and execute.

	'''NOTE''' - This will be frustrating to learn for two main reasons. Firstly, if you are still learning the fundamentals of regrabbing, you’ll still have your mental capacity spent on just staying together. It will be difficult to also keep your eye on the disc location, speed and direction. Be patient with yourself as this all becomes second nature with practice. Secondly, no matter what level you are at with regrabbing, it takes two to tango. If you realise your regrab partner isn’t as good at reading the bounces as you, then slow down the stack and try to meet their level and pace.
