The Basic Fold
Basically you flatten the bag and fill out. Then you just fold the bag right in half with an even amount of fill in each half.
The Double Fold
With this fold, you hold the bag by one corner. Next you fold the corner without any fill over the corner holding all of the fill. Then you fold the bag in half with the other two corners.
The Pancake - Webmaster preferred
With this toss, the bag is flattened completely. It can then be tossed underhand while resting flat on your hand. The most popular way to toss the pancake is by spinning it like a Frisbee towards the hole while keeping it as flat as possible. You hold the bag flat in your palm with your thumb on the top right of the bag (or left if you are a lefty). You come out of the toss with the bag going by your side perpendicular to the ground, then as it raises above your leg you turn your hand so that the bag becomes parallel with the ground. As you let go of the bag, it spins out of your hand in a frisbee motion towards the board. Make sure you follow through with your hand as in bowling and also include a semi-high arc so as to allow the bag to set on the board right before the hold to slide into it. Too much of a straight toss will make the bag have too much forward motion.
The Sling
To toss the Sling, you hold the bag by one corner with you index finger and thumb. You then sling (as the name suggests) the bag to the hole giving the bag backspin.
The Fling
This toss is similar to The Sling. However, you hold this bag by one edge rather than a corner. You then pitch the bag underhand giving the bag backspin.
The Overhead
This is the only overhead throw on the list. You could mix one of the above folds with this method. However, generally the bag is just held in a ball and sort of shot towards the hole. I will add that this is probably the least consistent throw that I have seen, although it does work for some.
