Pitching a Ringer
This video demonstrates pitching a ringer. Generally the tip of the quoit should be higher
than normal so the quoit falls onto the hub. Some people pitch for ringers by arching the quoit
higher in the air, while professionals generally pitch it at a very low arch. A low arch is very
hard to perfect, but is deadly when perfected.

normal.

Determining the Winning Quoit by Looking at the Back-End of the Quoit:
This video demonstrates how to determine which quoit is closer when it is hard
to tell. Many times you will not be able to tell which quoit is closer by looking at
the point of the quoit closest to the hub. When you come across this situation look
at the back sides of the quoit and many times you will be able to see which quoit has
passed the outer lines further. If you still can not tell you should not count either point.
