It’s great fun to go to the park and toss a Frisbee with your pals or your best four footed friend. It looks easy but there are a few rules to help you with accuracy and control. So get out the Frizbee and find a park or field and brush up on your technique.

- The Grip and Stance:
Hold the side of the Frisbee so your thumb is on top, your index finger lines the rim, and the rest of your fingers support the frisbee from the bottom. The grip should be loose to allow a smooth throw. Stand with your feet about a foot apart, with the Frisbee in your throwing hand and your other arm slightly extended for balance. Your body should be loose and in line with your target, with your throwing arm in front. - The Backhand Throw:
Assume the stance. Hold the Frisbee in front of you in line with your target. Bring your throwing arm back toward the other side of your body, twisting your torso away from the target. Let your wrist and forearm curl, as much as is comfortable, around the Frisbee rim as you draw it back. - As your arm comes around to the front, in line with your target, completely straighten your wrist with a quick flick. Release the Frisbee tilted slightly up to allow it to roll off your index finger, which should end up pointing at the target.
- Follow through on your throw.
- Get a running start.
- Throw in the direction the wind is blowing.
- Make a large circle when uncurling your arm.

Great tips Ruby for a fun activity.
Love throwing around a frisby.I always wandered how to throw it better. Thanks!
Great tips!
Nice idea I like it.
I haven’t tried this game before. Maybe I’ve to give it a try. Thanks. [blink]
I haven’t played with a frisbee in years……I suddenly want to go and buy one again!!!
Great tips…I’ll have to have my son read this!
Throwing around a frisbee is fun and very easy. It does take a little patience for a first timer to get used to throwing it accurately. By the way. I love the picture of the machinaw bridge.
I’m rubbish with frisbees so this should help me a lot, great article!
Good direction Ruby. I try to play with my black lab, but he would rather chew on it.
i can never throw a frisbee thanks for the tips~
Ruby, what a fun article. I love to throw them for my dogs. It is one of their favorite games.
haven’t try this,thanks for the tips
I can throw okay.. catching.. I suck!
We got the frisbee out this summer, I do think I was one of the better throwers. Your tips were bang on.
This is something. Good to know
Great tips. I have recently rediscovered frisbee and have really enjoyed it. I have struggled with getting it to curve the way I want and throwing what, in a sense, would be the opposite of the throw you have outlined. Any advice there?

good one. Mine always goes just a few inches and then slams into the ground
Ok. I’ll try it. The one thing I have trouble with is accuracy, control and distance. Wait, that’s three things.
Thanks, Ruby.
Excellent directions. Brings back memories of my college days.
Something I’ve never gotten down…yet!
Thanks for writing this article.
