Aerobie rings should be thrown with the printed side up. If you want an Aerobie ring to fly straight, release it level. People who throw Frisbees tend to release them sloping downward to compensate for the Frisbee's tendency to roll. With Aerobie rings and discs, this compensation is not needed. You can throw an Aerobie ring sloping to the left if you want it to curve left and sloping to the right if you want it to curve right. You can throw an Aerobie ring with either a backhand or a forehand throw. Backhand throws are more popular because they are easier to throw accurately. Grip the ring with several fingers inside for easy control

Want Straighter Flights?

Aerobie rings must be tuned occasionally to maintain straight flights. A collision with a solid object can knock a ring out of tune. If your ring turns left after being thrown level, you should bend it very slightly downward. With the top side of the ring up, hold the ring at opposing points in your two hands and bend the outer rim of the ring downward a couple times. Then rotate the ring 90 degrees in your hands and repeat the process. Throw the ring to see if more tuning is needed. If your ring turns right, tune the ring by bending upward instead of downward. Instructions for tuning your ring are printed on the rings' packages and also on the rings themselves. These instructions apply for backhand throws by right handed throwers. Reverse the instructions if your throw spins the ring in the opposite direction.

Safety

Throw an Aerobie ring only to an alert catcher, as you should exercise caution with any thrown object. Play in a clear space so participants will not accidentally trip over or crash into trees, cars, people, and other hazards. Rings are more prone than discs to be caught in trees because a ring can get stuck on a tree branch, making it difficult to shake free from the tree. Cease play if light is insufficient to clearly see the ring in flight. Never throw a torn or damaged Aerobie ring.
