Ultra-Star 175G Ultimate Disc

Very nice smooth frisbee feel good to handle it good to play some frisbee golf with

turned black after 6 months!?

Brutal, doesn't hold a charge for more than 20min

Flies great! I use it all the time the frisbee itself is great. It’s just the glow in the dark gimmick that is not real great. It just doesn’t glow that much. I’d recommend getting the base one for cheaper because you’re not gaining lunch, but I will say it’s a fantastic frisbee for throwing.

This will be a short breakdown on the Discraft 175g Ultimate disc vs. the Wham-O Ultimate Frisbee. I am mostly a Defensive player but while on Offense I am next to our "Sniper" to give him an out if needed. This means I mostly throw shorter distances. Wham-O: This 175g disc is what I used at the high school level. Mine has taken many hit against trees, streetlights, and cement. Used it over the course of two years playing six days out of the week for 2-3 hours during the spring, summer and fall seasons. I was happy with this disc as a novice and transcending into one of the better players on the team. For local tourneys set up by people without much experience(or a random charity event) this may be used as the game disc since it can be found at any Walmart or Target. I paid $10 plus tax($0.06 per dollar) Discraft: I made the switch to the 175g Discraft disc since it is the standard for competitive play. Glad I did. This disc seems to be a tad thinner on top than the Wham-O but slightly thicker on the sides. The Discraft design levels out in the air faster and more evenly than a Frisbee. After about 2 hours of adjusting to it I can toss this about 30% to 35% farther to my teammate with a simple fast backhand(light on the arm, most power comes from wrist). My flicks with this are roughly the same. Feel-wise, The Discraft is a sports car to Wham-O's minivan. I paid $11 with free shipping. I highly recommend the Discraft since it has the same pricetag and outperforms Wham-O. Also from experience, if you think you'll be playing a lot, pick up a 3 pack. One for scrimmages/mini tourneys, one for training with the team, and one for messing around with your friends. Chances are the messing around disc will receive many scrapes on the sides and sill turn into a flying saw blade(with rough up hands and even cut them) after repeated landings on cement sidewalks or parking lots. Your team practice disc will probably go this way as well(random lamppost/goalpost hit, tossing in the parking lot waiting for teammates to show up.)
