Frisbee (Standard 175g)

A disc that turned throwing things into a sport/Toys & Games

The standard competition Frisbee, as regulated by the World Flying Disc Federation, is a 175-gram disc with a diameter of 27.3 centimeters. Originally inspired by pie tins from the Frisbie Pie Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut, it was patented by Wham-O in 1958. A well-thrown Frisbee can reach speeds of 130 km/h and cover distances over 250 meters. The disc achieves stable flight through gyroscopic precession, which is a fancy way of saying it stays flat because it spins. Over 200 million have been sold, making it possibly the most popular object that regularly ends up on roofs.
