Wicked Sky Rider Pro - 125g High Performance Flying Disc, The Next Generation Flying Disc Lightweight Professional Frisbee, Longer Faster, Accurate Flights, Three Colours Available

This Wicked Skyrider Pro Flying Disc makes me feel inadequate. I've thrown a regular frisbee and seen it arc in awkward directions before eventually (after a good number of attempts) gliding smoothly. Trying this one didn't really yield any notable benefits in terms of accuracy of throw or distance covered so I'm not as wowed as other reviewers. I've also been tainted by watching YouTube videos in the past (god knows how I ended up watching videos of people throwing frisbees but that's YouTube for you) and the expectation that any frisbee with the word Pro in it should be able to travel for miles with a flicka-da-wrist. Nope. I suspect there are more expensive versions of a frisbee but I haven't fallen into that realm and don't plan to. The amount I paid was just enough for me thank-you-very-much and it's a decent enough product but don't expect it to make you a Pro.

So, if you read the review, you'd be mistaken for thinking this is come kind of premium product, specially hand-crafted for pro-flyers.Bah, totally poppycock (to use an old english expression). This is a cheap plastic disc, which is the same as the one I had when I was a kid in the 1970s. The frizbee hasn't changed much in decades, and except for the aerobie rings and triangles, you can't improve on something that just works. But more on that later....Since it's a tried-and-tested shape, the disk flies very well, and generally goes where you want it to. It's pretty heavy, so doesn't get TOO buffetted by the wind in light breezes, but as with all these plastic ones does suffer from being 'tipped over' by a lateral breeze, so can zoom off at funny angles sometimes. The edges are midly more weighted than the middle which does help a tad, especially helps to keep the spin going.As a frisbee, it delivers on the promise. One word of caution though... because it's so heavy, I wouldn't recommend it to be used with young ones. They'll throw it quite hard, and even striking an arm or a leg can hurt. Hitting another youngster on the side of the head would be painful! So, older kids / adults only! No 5yo's or younger!I'm sure the manufacturers will bamboozle you with "pro plastic construction" and "easy grip surfaces", but to be honest, it's a large plate of plastic with an easy-grip curved edge (just like every other frisbee), so that textured upper surface barely gets a use.The feel of the plastic and the smell of it take me back to when I was a kid, so I'll hesitate to guess it's pretty much the same. Even the little plastic strings that come off it when it strikes stonework, and you peel them off like tiny pieces of cheese string are identical to how they used to be.Given that plastic is, like £5 per tonne, the actual price of this frisbee to produce must be in the pence-range, yet is being charged at £5-£10. Someone is making a fortune off it! Don't get this thinking you're getting some kind of pro-evo super-disc. It doesn't even come in a box, just a part-covering card sleeve.Nice as a stocking filler for an 8 yo or older, and good for taking to the beach with your dog, or maybe fun for camping with. Very sturdy!

Floats on the air like a jet powered cloud. Perfect for hitting unsuspecting housemates in the face.

Good, fun and reasonable price.In the world of 'flying discs' where they can range from £5-50, this is a great purchase. Not expensive, but has a nice weight and flies well.5 Stars

I wasted my money. This is heavy and doesn’t fly very far. I bought for my dogs to exercise them but it is useless as it doesn’t fly far. Used once and back to my original much cheaper version. All hype and exaggerated claims!
