A thrown friend steers away at once and the throw feels weak

A throw that the thrown player can cancel with a key press is not a throw. But a player who cannot steer at all feels robbed. The answer is a short moment with no control and then a gradual return. Here is the launch speed, including what the thrower's own running adds, and the control curve.

Why this works

A throw only reads as a throw if the body is committed to it for a moment. Taking steering away briefly and giving it back gradually lets the flight feel strong while the thrown player still feels like a player, not a parcel.

When not to use it

Do not take control away in games about precision or where the throw is a puzzle the thrown player must solve mid-air. There, keep steering on from the start and make the throw shorter or weaker instead.
