pic: Tube Throwing Comparison

[DonRotolo]

All tubes were thrown double-overhand, meaning the tube was vertical and spinning as it was thrown. Some practice yielded throws accurate enough to at least remain on the playing field.

Circles were the easiest to throw and remained the most stable in flight. 35 feet in the air was trivial, and they continued to roll the rest of the field most of the time.

Squares also flew 35 feet, but did not roll as far as circles, ending at about 45 feet on average. The squares roll better than you'd think a square would.

Triangles were the most variable. With the right landing, they went as far as squares, but hit the ground just right (wrong?) and they bounce backwards a little and stop.
