"Great disc, nice feel"

This disc is certainly the best I have played with. It's rim is lower than those made by Frisbee, which gives the disc a much nicer feel. It flies well, and the material is also good: not super-soft or thin, so it doesn't warp easily, but soft enough that it won't hurt your hands when catching a fast throw. I recommend it for all players, but especially those more experienced and Ultimate players. 5 stars

"Perfect disc"

I've played with many different discs, and the discraft ultra-star is definetely the best. I could throw this one much farther and much more accurately than the Wham-O. It also seems to spin very fast without effort. It is easy to catch as well: the rim is wide and curls slightly. The material is tough enough to avoid getting too scratched, firm enough to avoid bending and warpage, and yet flimsy enough to not hurt your hand too much. The price is also good; most discs cost a few dollars more.

Conclusively, if you're thinking which disc to buy, stop thinking. The discraft ultra-star is the only one I would use, whether I'm playing a serious game of ultimate, or a simple game of catch. 5 stars

"Best Ultimate disc"

This is by far the best disc that i've ever thrown. It has a nice rim size, not to big so you can throw a much easier forehand. The size is right on the spot. It also has a real nice underside that is perfect for a nice nail delay. The colors are also good, since there is a nice range, and the star in the middle looks sweet in the sunlight. Much better than any whammo or innova Ultimate disc. Highly reccomended for anyone that wants to play a good game of disc. 5 stars

"Lovely feel"

The Ultrastar is a classic disc, wonderful to throw and catch.

I personally feel that Ultrastars vary based on the color, but I just may be imagining things.

These fly better than the average Whammo, although I feel that I can throw 180g Innova Pulsars a little bit further. Still, the Ultrastar has more curvature and has a nice stable flight pattern.

I've thrown the Adidas 175g as well, and while that is not as bad as a beat-up whammo, it's still not quite the same. 5 stars

"Discraft: The Best"

There's nothing more graceful than the flight of a brand new Discraft Ultra Star. These discs are really fantastic, no other Ultimate disc i've played with compares. 5 stars
