"Hi, in this segment we're actually going to talk about a nail delay, and what a nail delay is is when you're spinning the Frisbee on your nail. Now, what people think is you're just going to hold your finger in one spot, a lot like when you're spinning a basketball, but the actual truth is is you have to keep adjusting your nail, and trying to always find the center. So, what also with a nail delay, you need to put a lot of spin on your Frisbee. If you don't put a lot of spin on your Frisbee it's going to be very, very difficult to do a nail delay, and you want your Frisbee to come down nice and flat. So, to do the set for the for the nail delay, you want to put some spin on it, and keep that nail right in the center; following the center at all times. If you have problems doing it on one nail, you might want to try two nails, or you might want to try what we call the claw; use all of your fingernails, so all of your nails are in contact with the bottom of the Frisbee. And you can actually balance it there without it spinning, but if you could put some spin on it and have that claw delay, and then you can go to two fingers, and then one finger, and you'll actually be able to get control, which will open up the door to many, many, many more tricks."
