To get any sort of spin on the disc you are going to have to snap your wrist, all of this power is provided by the forearm. It is possible to throw a disc with just this movement, but if you really want power and distance in your throws then you will need a strong core. All of the muscles in your arms are used as well, but these are more for stabilization and form, they don't deliver that much power to the disc. So, forearms provide spin, the core provides the power.

The whole body is actually used to do an underarm throw. However, when it comes to arm muscles, the latissimus dorsi is the main muscle used in underarm throwing.

In overhead throws, your biceps and triceps are the muscles involved as well as a forward thrusting motion.

What muscles are used in freezby?

There are many muscles used when playing Frisbee. It all depends on what is happening. For example, if there is a lot of running involved, then your leg muscles, both the calf and thigh muscles, along with heart and lung muscles. When throwing the Frisbee, you will use most arm muscles, because of the motions you make with your elbow. Then you would use your abdomen muscles when twisting your body around to throw the disk. It is a good work out if there is much distance between the players, to increase the running and throwing done in the game. Hope this helps and have fun!
