Have you heard of "Guts" frisbee?

[lapants]

they make special discs for it, or at least I've seen some advertised for it

LOL at the old man getting hit in the nuts in that Climo video.

one of the regular league players here is also on a guts frisbee team. they traveled to Japan 3 years ago for the world championship tourney and finished in 2nd.

Guts was around when I was a kid in the 70s. I hope everyone has heard of it.

 

[Justin Woodall]

There is a reason this is called Guts, not Brains.

Guts is an intersting game from the early days of disc sports. It's not just about throwing at yout opponents as hard as you can, it also has to be a catchable throw. Glad to see it's still around.

We played many guts variations in our ultimate team.

Flubber guts and knife guts were the most funny variations IMO. Knife guts is the same as normal guts, you just have to throw sky high forehands that come down vertical and get most of the speed from the higth they fall out of. Flubber guts is played at just a few feet distance, and you dont throw the disc fast or spinning, but ugly flubbery. Something like here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRU4yGXCRG0

I have heard of Guts once

 

[Jukeshoe]

I'd love to try it out, but I doubt I'd be able to find anyone to play it with around here. :\

Sounds like the best aspects of both dodgeball and discin'.

Does look very fun. Do you use an ultimate disc or what?

 

[booter]

Yea. A guts lid i believe

 

[solomon.trenton]

id still like to look like a disc golfer and not a hockey player

I actually want to try this this weekend... I can't find any specs on the "official" guts frisbee... will an ultimate work? Or is it too hard/heavy?

have you ever heard of a whamo malibu? go to your local target and buy one, it is a 110g lid and will probably work perfectly until you can get a guts lid

 

[Everett Evans]

Holy crap you guys are making me feel old.

You can try with a lid (Ultimate disc) but you should really try to find a wicked light disc, like the ultra cheapo Whamo original, or any 100-110g kids disc, assuming it isn't too brittle.

Thanks guys!
