Frisbees

Common throws used in frisbee include the backhand, forehand (or flick), and hammer throw. The backhand involves holding the frisbee with the thumb on top and the fingers underneath, releasing it with a sweeping motion. The forehand is executed by holding the frisbee with the index and middle fingers gripping the inside, while the thumb is on top, flicking it forward. The hammer throw is an overhead throw that sends the frisbee at a downward angle, often used for a quick pass over defenders.

Some of the best Filipino frisbee players include Jona Janna, who has made significant contributions to the national team, and other standout athletes like Janelle Sarmiento and the members of the Philippine national teams in both beach and ultimate frisbee. The Philippine ultimate frisbee community is known for its competitive spirit and skill, with players consistently performing well in international tournaments. The sport has seen growth in popularity, leading to the emergence of many talented players across the country.

The diameter of a standard frisbee, such as those used in Ultimate Frisbee, is typically around 10 to 11 inches (25 to 28 centimeters). However, there are various sizes available for different types of frisbees, including smaller ones for children and larger versions for specific sports or games. Always check the specifications for the particular frisbee you are interested in.

The ridges running around a Frisbee are called "ribs" or "rings." These features help provide stability and lift during flight by creating a more aerodynamic shape. They also improve grip and control when throwing the Frisbee.

A regulation frisbee, specifically the standard disc used in Ultimate Frisbee, typically has a diameter of about 10.75 inches (27.3 cm) and a thickness of approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm). Its weight ranges from 175 to 180 grams. These dimensions ensure optimal flight performance and handling during gameplay.

The fear of frisbees is called "discophobia." No, it's not a fear of disco music, but a fear of those flying plastic discs causing havoc. So, if you see someone running for the hills when a frisbee comes their way, you can now casually drop the term "discophobia" like it's hot.

Frisbee is a trademarked name owned by the Wham-O company, so the capital F is used to distinguish it as a proper noun and brand name. Using a capital F helps to signify the specific brand of flying disc rather than a generic term.

No, "frisbee" should not be capitalized unless it is at the beginning of a sentence or part of a title.

The Frisbees back then and today are made out of plastic.

The shape of a Frisbee is a disc, with an airfoil cross-section. As with aeroplanes, this airfoil shape generates lift as it moves through the air.

Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, Victor Malafronte throws a sidearm 119-gram Model Frisbee 538 feet. In 1978 Boulder, Colorado, while doing a distance throwing demonstration at a North American Series (NAS) Frisbee Event, Ken Westerfield threw a sidearm 119-gram World Class Model Frisbee 552 feet. These are the two longest sidearm (forehand) throws ever.

'frisbee' is a company's trade name which is why the sport is called 'ultimate frisbee'.

Back then they had pie dishes instead of these plastic frisbees. The plastic frisbees are more aerodynamic and are 'slicker' in design.

It really depends on wind conditions. Wind can pick up a light Frisbee for a while or send it quickly to the ground. I would say If a heavy and light Frisbee were thrown by the same person in the same conditions, the heavier one would stay up longer. So heavy is the answer.

keep the disc flat faced (if you were holding it and looking at the rim it would not be tilted) and when you release point your hand to where you want it to go in the finish. also, snap your wrist to make it spin when you release

Many, many, many but probably not as much now.

Frisbee is always capitalized. It's a trademark

backhand- hold the disc with your index finger on the rim and the rest under it. keep the disc straight and snap your wrist while putting your arm into it.

forehand- put your middle finger on the rim with your index next to it and the ring and pinkie finger on the inside rim. Snap your wrist.

i would say the three most popular throws are backhand, forehand, and a hammer. The backhand is the typical throw everyone knows, the forehand is just like the backhand except there is a different grip and you don't cross your arm over your body, and the hammer is like a tomahawk over your head. The forehand and backhand can be tricky, but useful once mastered.

Walter Fredrick Morrison is the inventor of the Frisbee. Walter came up with the idea of the Frisbee when he was throwing a popcorn lid to his woman. He then started throwing cake pans. Walter eventually came up with the Frisbee design in 1946.

I think it was 1957. I know it was in the years 1950-1960.

The frisbee was originally a weapon used in Old China. It was used recreationally later when pie tins were thrown for sport.
