Editorial Reviews:

The Aerobie is the world's farthest hand-thrown object, having traveled a distance of 1,257 feet (check the Guinness Book of Records). But don't let that psych you out. This ring is very easy to throw and catch.

Summary: Throwing is easy; catching is NOT!
Comment: I've been using Aerobie products since the 1980's, and the Pro ring is widely considered their best. Incidentally, the current world record is even longer than mentioned above: 1,333 feet (set in 2003 by Erin Hemmings).

PROS: Easy to throw, deceptively easy to throw FAR ... much farther than you intend, unless you practice A LOT.

CONS: Unless you control launch angle JUST RIGHT, your friend will be running for days to catch it! Also, far worse than losing a ring in water, it enjoys getting stuck in trees even more. Worst of all is the (likely) event of striking a passer-by 100 feet (or yards!) away; the ring is so slim that it's almost impossible to see if it's heading straight at you!

Find an open field with no trees, take your most athletic friend, ease up on the throwing strength, and you can enjoy Aerobie Pro for hours. Neglect any of these things, and you'll be heading home in minutes.

Summary: Fun for teen and up
Comment: The product is fun to use, it can fly a long long way. Just do not use it near the water it does not float. Also it is not a kids toy. It is hard and can be very fast. Use it responsibly. Have fun.

Summary: "The Astonishing Flying Ring"
Comment: Words from the wise: DO NOT fling a 13" Aerobie as hard as you can on a breezy summer day just to see how far it can go. Bad idea, I lost my first Aerobie that way, a spiffy bright yellow one, and since it landed in acres of tall corn, there was little to no hope of me ever getting it back anytime soon. For the short while I owned it, I fell in love with the astonishing flying ring and it's fabulous performance. I just had to replace it. And I can tell ya, it does go far, sometimes too far! According to the Guinness Book of World Records it holds the longest throw ever at 1,257 feet!

All it really takes is a little flick of the wrist/arm and the Aerobie will go a great distance. It glides smooth at any speed and is less effected by wind than a Frisbee. The ring design also allows for more acrobatic freedom in catches and tosses. You can easily catch it by hand on the outside like a Frisbee or on the inside unlike a Frisbee, plus you can also ring it around your arm or foot as the catch. Its so easy for anyone to enjoy.

Our dog, a pure bred Australian Shepherd gets the biggest thrill out of leaping and catching the Aerobie in mid-flight. Which makes it all the more entertaining and/or frustrating for us. But I can say, thus far, the Aerobie has stood up extremely well to his biting and light chewing, not to mention our twisting and tugging attempts to pry it from his clutches. He loves it so much! I can further attest to the durability of an Aerobie by saying; what was once lost had been found. Only a year and a half later that is, after being run over or perhaps maybe run through various farm implements, and spending a whole winter outdoors in the open. But I found that my first Aerobie is still in decent, flyable condition. Certainly rough around the edges and a bit more brittle, but I was able to bend it back into shape and after a little fine tuning, my yellow Aerobie flies just as good as my newer orange one.

The Aerobie is the best flying disc you'll ever own, it's likely to be the only flying disc you'll ever NEED to own! The one bummer thing about the Aerobie is that it doesn't float. Made in the U.S.A.

Summary: The best frisbee ever - in warm weather
Comment: These things fly *far*, and require almost no effort to throw. I regularly play in an area with about 100 feet from person to person, and its no big deal to get it that far. The trick is to not put it farther.

The only down side to this disc is that its fragile when the weather gets cold. I had one disc last me from march to november, and I've been through 4 more since then (its almost christmas as I write this.)

Thinking about trying the 10 inch SuperDisc next, it should prove more durable at the expense of throwing distance...
