Product Information

The 13-inch (330mm) Aerobie Pro was used to set the Guinness World Record twice for the "longest throw of an object without any velocity-aiding feature". [15] The Aerobie's first Guinness World Record was set by Scott Zimmerman at 1,257 feet (383 meters) in 1986 at Fort Funston, San Francisco. [16] The 1986 record was broken by Erin Hemmings with a throw of 1,333 feet (406 meters) on July 14, 2003 at Fort Funston. Hemmings' Aerobie was airborne for 30 seconds (not an official measurement) and was the first thrown object to break the quarter-mile barrier (402 meters or 1,320 feet).

The best Frisbees and flying discs to buy

Weight - For most beginners and casual frisbee players, a midweight frisbee is best. If you're hoping to break into the ranks of the disc golf world—you should have a few frisbee's of varying weight in your arsenal, including both light and heavyweight discs. The official frisbee weight, according to USA Ultimate, is 175 grams. The best Frisbees are durable, easy to throw, and usually budget-friendly. “Defining features that make a good Frisbee are stability (how straight does the Frisbee fly when thrown?) and durability (quality of the plastic),” Dan O’Neill, two-time freestyle Frisbee world champion, says. This is completely up to you and what you need, but there are a couple of key things to look out for, including weight, material, and durability. If you're looking for a frisbee to play with small kids you'll need one that's extra lightweight, such as the Activ Kid's discs. What games can I play with a frisbee? If you want something to throw around with the dog, you’re better off going for a solid rubber disc, as plastic and foam alternatives tend not to fare very well against excited chomping. You can also get rubber rings, but these aren’t always as aerodynamic as their disc-shaped cousins. To find the best Frisbees, we turned to two experts: freestyle Frisbee world champion Dan O’Neill and personal trainer Seamus Sullivan. They helped us understand which materials high-quality Frisbees are made from and how a Frisbee’s design can impact its ease of use and lifespan.

Typically, the discs that are used for playing ultimate frisbee are about 170-180 grams in weight, have a wide circumference, and they are quite rigid. This helps ensure that you can put some force behind your throw, causing the disc to travel a greater distance. On the contrary, if you want a disc simply to play catch with your tot or even your dog, then you need to ensure that the disc you’re buying is malleable, made from soft plastic, and is lightweight. These three factors will make it convenient for your kids and your canine friend to catch it easily without getting injured. Now, are you ready to buy one? The 10" Aerobie Sprint Ring is a compact version of the world’s farthest thrown object. It flies twice as far as a regular disc, and is compact and lightweight in nature. Except its smaller size, it is identical to the Aerobie Pro Flying Ring, which was used in setting a Guinness World Record for the longest throw. INCREDIBLY EASY THROWS: The Aerobie Pro Ring will glide through the air with complete ease, making it simple for anyone to master amazing throws for thrilling games of catchIntroducing your kids to Frisbees and flying discs can be a great way to get them exercising outdoors, and for you all to bond as a family. Self-proclaimed as the world’s easiest flyers to throw and catch, Activ Life’s Flyers are designed to be easily caught by small hands (or feet), so children can play just as well as adults. Weighing just 33 grams, these lightweight rings are also very gentle to catch, minimising the risk of sore fingers at the end of the day.
