Who is Drag’n Thrust?
Drag’n Thrust is a competitive mixed team based out of Minneapolis/St. Paul with a long history of strong Nationals performances. Drag’n Thrust was established in the spring of 2009 when a group of players, with a myriad of experience and a similar vision, came together and decided to create a competitive mixed Ultimate team. During one of the team’s famous “hill and grill” practices, the physics of a disc were being discussed. What are the four forces that act on a disc in flight? Gravity, Lift, Drag ‘n Thrust.
