Umm no that's not what anyone said at all. You just point at the screen to "grab" the frisbee, then pull back and throw like normal. There's no calibration throw. It's just establishing the initial position of the Wii Remote because all it can calculate are changes in position.

Sarcasm detector, broken.

But what you just described is absolutely a calibration "throw." Establishing a zero point for position and subsequent movement is what I call a calibration.

WM+ only needs to be held still for a sec to calibrate.  It does not calibrate while in motion.  So by forcing the player to 'click' on the frisbee they effectively get you to hold the wiimote still for a sec and calibrate before each throw.

In GST you need to bring the wiimote back, flat in front of you  and hold it still (like in real tennis) inbetween swings.  If you are constantly bobbing it about or bouncing around it'll gradually become less and less accurate.

Tiger Woods golf lucks out in that you hold the wiimote still prior to swinging naturally.

I think it is an either/or situation actually.

It can recalibrate by keeping it still for a couple of seconds, but I think also if it points at the sensor bar it can do the same.... so some games will use the stillness (obviously golf is easy for this because to perform a swing you will always keep it still pointing down) With tennis there isn't really a position you keep the raquet still before a shot, though professionals generally default to pointing forwards most people probably wouldn't concentrate on that.
