I love the internet. I was just sat here thinking "I wonder what the fastest frisbee throw is?"

Quick google and it's there! Amazing!

@sirMAXX77 lol hence the original intended use of the flying disc in Ancient China and Amazons like Zena, lol.

why is nigel thornberry narrating this?

[sirMAXX77]

that backhand frisbee throw at 70 mph looks like that could be used as a weapon and fuck someone up with a hit to the head. if you can learn to hit a target

what was the weigh of the frisbee? 160, 175 gram, more?

the methods used to measure the distance in this vid seems flawed to me. WTF, no credit given for the bounce forward at the end of the throw, measuring from the perceived center of the spot where the disc first touched earth, instead of the forward edge? Is this stillthe measuring standard these days for GWBOR Distance should be measured from the forward edge of the disc, not center spot and credit should should be given from the spot the disc stops moving back to the tee.

I throw a lot farther forehand than backhand
