the Wham-o frisbee

[mikk]

Who throws a regular wham-o?? I just got my hands on a 1980 wham-o 81E, almost see thru ghost white with a cool silver/chrome stamp that says High Rigidity 165g. Some friends and I were playing catch, well kinda. Most the golfers I play with had a real hard time throwing it cuz its flippy The thing thats funny is that none of the other peeps trying to throw it couldnt get it to fly with out the wobbles. I had a blast and started to remember the trick shots I learned when I was a kid. I grew up on the wham-o, my dad showed me the coolest stuf with it. There is the upside down thumber stall, the sky high stall to make it return to you, and the 1 finger side arm snap! If your realy good you can tuck a small rock inside the lip and make it fly crazy!! Its soooo floaty and realy fun if you know how to throw the wham-o!!!
So any you peeps throw the regular frisbee????

I feel like just fartin around passing lids is a really good way to clean up your form.

I keep an UltraStar and a Hero 235 in my car at all times. It's funny watching someone go from the Ultrastar to the 235. So much lighter and flippier. Most of the time it flips over and crashes. Gotta be gentle with it.

Learned to play DG with the Wham-o world class 119, 141, and 165g when I was 12 at summer camp on an object course! (painted trees set around the camp)

ya its definately a finesse throw with the wham-o, it will flip realy quick if your not carefull! I dont know the UltraStar?? is it a super class? I have been thinking about getting a Hero in star plastic, I think that would be the shizzznit!

ya I think the frisbee my dad had was a world class?? It was black and had a gold stamp of a guy catching a frisbee between his legs?? I think, kinda hard to remember that was 1978....

exactly! and you get a good work out initially until it cleans up your throw and get more accurate, also a lid fits 4 beers, great for throwin around and great to bring to parties!

I was well on my way to collecting discs and playing freestyle till I discovered disc golf in the mid seventies.

Here are a few of my old whamos:
