I think that as a beginner, when playing and wanting to achieve more distance, throw something a little less stable like a Sidewinder or a Roadrunner or a Leopard. If you can get the disc to go right at all (assuming you are a RHBH - right hand, backhand), you will get more distance. Wanting to achieve more accuracy is another issue, though, and eventually you'll have to find that balance between distance and accuracy. Playing for four years now, I am hoping that it will happen for me soon.
