Re: Frisbee shooter


The purpose of compression is mostly to reduce slipping between the frisbee and the wheel, and the frisbee and the fence, to impart spin. Without spin, the frisbee will not travel very far. That's why most teams add some sort of friction surface to the fence. You want the frisbee to roll on the fence, not slide.
