Imagine being Coby in this video the risks DP nation takes are unbelievable!
when ever he threw at something that was really solid it was like a credit card
It seems like he makes the cards fly so fast because he keeps his fingers totally relaxed all the way past the release and to the end of the follow-through. In every super slo-mo replay his fingers look like they are about to shake themselves off of his hand. Impressive marksmanship.
