Best frisbee I know of. June 3, 2008
This is by far the best frisbee I know of. One little warning to anyone who has never owned or thrown an Aerobie before: these things fly FAR. I mean FAR. Whenever I throw it with someone who has never thrown it before, I literally train them to throw it softly because even a soft throw will make one of these things travel 100ft. Another reason I train people is because I've had 2 of these in the past and I've lost both of them. And I didn't throw either one when it got lost. People see this thing and think it's just another standard frisbee, so they throw it as hard as they can and it gets lost.
I have adopted a unique throwing method that makes flights straighter and more accurate, but slightly harder to throw long distances. I kind of fling it off of my index finger (I'm right handed). I throw my wrist forward and then right when it's about to fly off my finger I snap my wrist back. It's easier to show it than describe it. Maybe I'll submit a video review of this method. The snapping my wrist back part kind of evolved naturally if you will. I didn't think of the idea of doing it. I started throwing my wrist forward and before I knew it I was snapping it back.
Anyway, this frisbee can be kind of tricky to learn to throw straight because it's a ring. I learned it pretty quickly. This thing offers a good workout if you throw it hard. If you throw it hard, I strongly recommend that you and your throwing partner are in a BIG field. To put that in context, a football field is too small. Aerobie's travel way farther than any standard frisbee disk.
I haven't had any issues with the backbone breaking or cracking or anything like that. The only thing I noticed is they are kind of tricky to catch at first because the frisbee hits your hand and bounces off of it. I also have a method for catching it that mayble I'll make a video of and post.
A few more things. Don't throw an Aerobie near water unless you can throw it very accuratly. As it says on the frisbee itself, Aerobie's don't float. Another thing is an Aerobie won't be too likely to damage something that it hits if you throw it inaccurately because it'll bounce harmlessly off most things.
Overall, this is a very good frisbee. Just remember, it flies very FAR. If you don't believe the thing about the Guiness World Record for farthest thrown object, just throw it hard once and you will instantly believe it.
 great fun- but don't go near the water! September 7, 2007
This is a great item to keep in the trunk of your car- better yet, keep 2, so when the opportunity presents itself, i.e., a wide open space, you can get out there and fling this thing to your heart's content. It's an addiction, you know! It totally outclasses frisbies, but be warned, it doesn't float- at all.
Easy to use August 23, 2007
Heaps of fun and much easier to use than a traditional Frisbee. Flies a long way and does not require too much skill to enjoy.
i agree April 29, 2007
i bought one years ago, it is educational by teaching you how to throw it, and catch. plus the exercise is great.
i am not sure how durable they are now but the old ones could be bounced off of objects within reason.
they do fly FAR dont be mistaken, throw it lightly for a while to get a feel because if you whip it out there... you have a high possibility of losing it forever.
they are extremely light and easy to throw, throwing straight takes some practice but everything does and its not hard. but it will go FAR and you will chase it down. other than that its an amazing toy, just be gentle you dont want your kids going 100yrds out of their way to pick it up because you didnt throw straight and threw too hard. :)
Best Toy Ever October 3, 2004
I'm an Aerobie fanatic. I have five of their products. This is the one that will get you the most excersise and practice. There are are no toys better than Aerobies.
