Default So, how does a frisbee fly?

But wait a minute. A good frisbee thrower can make a frisbee rise
straight up (like a golf ball does). The frisbee may take one path for
awhile but then starts heading up, just like a properly hit golf ball
(although not mine golf balls ). The golf ball is well understood to
rise as a result of its backward spin and low pressure on top (B).
Anyone who claims that a golf ball just follows its original path has
certainly never seen one properly hit.
