Frisbees in Cork

dutchgoldtony

Hi all,

Any idea where I can get a good frisbee in Cork?
Tried everywhere I could think of; sport shops, Smyths etc

Appreciate any help,
Tony

Last time I was in Mahons there was some in there. It was a while back, but its worth a shot!

Cheers for answering!

Do you mean Mahers? If so, tried both of them with no luck,

No idea where Mahons is though...

Cheers,
Tony

I don't know where Mahons is either -unless he means Mahon Point -but I can't think of anywhere there to get one.

But anyway -have you ever used an Aerobie?
They go much further than a Frisbee. See these...

I have an Aerobie Pro Ring and Aerobie Squidgie.

Amazon.co.uk and play.com and others sell them too, but most UK sites no longer sell "gadgets and toys" to Ireland due (I think) to the stoopid electrical price add-on -which has no bearing on this product anyway I know. (

On July 14, 2003 Erin Hemmings of Mendocino, California threw his Aerobie an amazing 1,333 feet.

Never tried one, looks cool though,
cheers for the link, emailed them to ask about selling & posting to Ireland there,

Nice one!

I'm in Cork. I got my Aerobie Squidgie from that site a few weeks ago -arrived in a few days. I think postage was around a fiver (uk).
I've had my 'bigger' Aerobie over 10 years now. It's a bit battered, but still works beautifully. You could easily/accurately throw it across the river Lee if you were a little more daring than me. In fact it'd go a lot further than that too -say, full length of a football pitch, without a bother.
...start shorter though -especially if you don't want to lose it!

type ucc ultimate into google and go to their website, if you contact them they'll have plenty for sale and cheaper than any internet prices which would involve postage

Nice one for the suggestions, will give them a try.

Might skip the "over the Lee throw" for the time being, don't fancy getting elbow deep in that if I can avoid it!

The disc you really want is a Discraft 175 gram. Aerobies are great until they fly off into the distance and hide in the top of a tree.
As I posted in the other thread you can buy them cheaply enough from UK supplier Lookfly:
-the link is to a page in their shop. I've bought stuff from Lookfly, suppliers of kit and discs to European, UK and Irish clubs. BTW get a copy of the "Above & Beyond" dvd while you're at it and you'll see what can be done with a frisbee!
http://www.lookfly.com//shop/index.php?cPath=51_72&osCsid=8874ae479054aa011ad51ce2e6787df0
The discs cost £8 +p&p
There are no proper discs for sale in shops in Cork.
UCC (Skultimate) are ordering a new batch of discs soon but these will not be available for some time (I'll post a message when they are).
I could of course give you an old one for nothing (or a pint) as I have loads. Check the UCC message board for news of a throwaround or a game (maybe in Deer Park, see map on website) in the near future, link below.
