Why do frisbee's stay in the air so long?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What are the different types of frisbees?

Asked by Wiki User

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.
