Innovation in Ultimate Since 2008

This disc is the latest project from Ultimate visionary Tim Morrill of Morrill Performance (MP), Training 4 Ultimate (T4U), and Humiliswag.

Founders

Tim Morrill, MS, PRI, RPR, CFSC

Tim Morrill is the founder of Morrill Performance and one of the leading innovators in training for Ultimate since 2008. After earning his Master’s in Exercise Science and working as a strength coach at the university level and at Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning, he has spent the last 15+ years developing sport-specific systems used by top teams including Boston Ironside, Boston Brute Squad (3x USA Ultimate Women’s National Champions), Humiliswag (2x USA Ultimate Beach Champions, which he co-founded), and the Pilipinas Pirates.

He has presented at both the NSCA and USA Ultimate national conferences and continues to compete at the world level in Beach Ultimate with the Philippines National Team. MP has now delivered workshops in 23 countries. The 200g Ultimate Specific Trainer Disc is the latest expression of his mission: to create tools that actually transfer to higher performance on the field.

Ivan Xu

Ivan Xu is a Shanghai-based Ultimate player, coach, and human-powered adventurer. He is head coach of the Shanghai Eagles Youth Flying Disc Club and also coaches Shanghai Solar Ultimate. Under his leadership the Eagles have become one of China’s strongest youth programs, winning multiple Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang titles, and in 2025 helping Chinese juniors take gold at the WFDF World Flying Disc Overall Championships.

A veteran of more than 18 years in the sport, Ivan partnered with Tim to run the 2024 MP China Tour. He was the key person who brought the 200g trainer disc concept to X-Com and guided the design through multiple iterations.

Origin Story

After 20 years of playing and coaching, Tim remained frustrated with existing heavy discs. The Big Kahuna had too large a brim and flew differently from a real Ultimate disc. The old Wham-O 200g discs used hard plastic. Neither transferred well.

While coaching in China he shared the problem with Ivan. Ivan took the idea to X-Com. Together they went through multiple design iterations, placing the extra plastic into the brim while keeping the overall shape and flight path as close as possible to a 175g Ultrastar. The rim was made soft and moldable for maximum finger activation.

The Pilipinas Pirates used the finished disc almost daily leading into the 2025 Boracay Open and went on to win the championship. You are now among the first athletes in the Jamily system to receive it.

Design & How It Works

Extra plastic was deliberately placed in the brim (rim) rather than spreading it across a much larger profile. This keeps the disc feeling and flying like a heavier version of a real Ultimate disc instead of a completely different implement.

The soft, moldable rim allows strong finger activation and a more natural grip.

How to Use

Warm-Ups

Start with the 200g disc. Many athletes notice better control and feel when they later switch to the 175g.

Contrast Sets (Core Method)

Throw a set with the 200g → rest 15–45 seconds → immediately throw the same or similar set with the 175g.

The heavy disc primes the nervous system. The light disc then often feels faster and more explosive.

Primary Qualities to Train

  • Spin
  • Time Aloft
  • Accuracy
  • Distance

Stacks of 5 & 10 – Drill Menu

  1. Distance – Max Power (Pulling)

Stacks of 5 or 10.

Rip for maximum distance.

Cue focus each set: wrist, elbow, rotation, coil, finish.

Train both right and left sides.

  1. Max Time Aloft – Max Spin

Stacks of 5 or 10 Outside-Ins and Inside-Outs each side.

Float the disc out, bring it back, and land it flat on target.

Exaggerate angles and wrist mechanics.

  1. Speed – Max Velocity

Stacks of 5 or 10 max-speed throws into a goal or target.

Can you hold velocity across the full set?

  1. Target – Max Control

Stacks of 5 or 10 to a goal, disc golf net, or cone circle.

  1. Visualization / Flow
  • Self-toss → pivot → huck × 5
  • Self-toss → pivot → fake → around × 5 (Can also be done in stacks of 10)
  1. Timed Sets (Power Endurance)

Throw a full stack of 10 in under 15 seconds.

Best performed with a rebounder.

Ideal structure for every drill:

200g set → short rest → 175g set

Training Notes

Pitch Count

Treat high-intent throws like pitching. Monitor volume and stop before mechanics break down.

Contrast

The real benefit comes from pairing heavy and light. Do not skip the 175g follow-up set.

Body Balance

Train both sides. The heavier disc often reveals asymmetries more clearly — use that information.

Terms & Anatomy Dictionary

Rim / Brim / Lip

The outer edge you grip. The most important factor for feel and flight transfer.

Flight Plate

The main central surface of the disc.

Dome

The upward curve of the flight plate. More dome = more lift and float. Less dome = faster, more penetrating flight.

Shoulder

The transition between flight plate and rim.

Disc Comparison

Feature 175g Ultimate Disc Big Kahuna MP 200g Trainer
Weight 175g ~200g 200g
Rim Shape Competition profile Much larger / thicker brim Closely matched to 175g profile
Extra Plastic Spread into a bigger brim Concentrated in the brim while keeping shape close to 175g
Flight Transfer Baseline Limited High – the design goal
Grip Feel Standard Bulkier Soft, moldable, strong finger activation

Contrast Training

Heavy stimulus followed quickly by a lighter, explosive movement to take advantage of nervous system potentiation.

Post-Activation Potentiation

Short-term improvement in explosive output after a heavy effort.

Pitch Count

Number of high-intent throws. Used to manage fatigue and arm health.

Time Aloft

How long the disc stays in the air — closely tied to spin quality.

Motor Unit Recruitment

How many muscle fibers the nervous system activates. Heavier implements generally increase recruitment.

This is the first edition.

You are not just early customers.

You are the first training group inside the Jamily system to work with this tool. Your results and feedback will help shape what comes next.

Train with intent.

Throw with power.
