I have to agree with pras870. Although personally I feel that there is better control of the ball with the soccer style throw. But I have been practicing more often with the basketball style throw because its a bit easier to throw at a higher arc.
On an interesting note, I have been trying to imitate a throw one of girls on our team has been practicing and with good success. Since she is a bit short, she tends to hit the top of the lexan barrier. So what she would do is hop once (I guess to build momentum or rhythm), and on her second hop, toss the ball soccer style (while in the air) and balance her weight by lifting up her left leg (sort of in a fashion that a girl would do when she is on her tippy toes and would bend there knee backwards at a 90 degree angle) then land with both feet. I think that sounds right. I wish I could be a bit more articulate. Regardless. So yea... I have been practicing at throwing like a girl. Ha ha.
