- DuskStar 8y agoI've yet to see someone kick a soccer ball such that it goes forwards and then comes back above their heads without wind assistance. Doing so with a frisbee isn't trivial, but it doesn't exactly take someone at the apex of skill either.
- akvadrako 8y agoDo you think people can't do that with a frisbee? Curving is a better illustration — you can get a much greater angle with a disc.
- ubernostrum 8y agoI'm sure people can do it with a frisbee. The claim I responded to was that you couldn't do it with other types of sports equipment. The linked image is a counterexample to that claim.
- aethr 8y agoThe type of curve in your video is probably used in about 1/4 of medium range passes in an intermediate level game of Ultimate. So what you've shown one of the best football players in the world is capable of in a low pressure situation, is typical fare for an intermediate level Ultimate player in a game situation. There is literally en entire sport called frisbee golf that involves that level of accuracy and control in every throw, at similar distances.
