 OK but go for Discraft Ultrastar insteadJun 03, 2011
By W. Dada
OK, admittedly I'm a disc-snob. I played Club Ultimate at the highest levels. Most people will find this Wham-O to be a fine "frisbee". In fact since you won't find Discrafts at Big-5 this is probably the best choice that many people have readily available to them. A 175g disc is the ideal weight. That said the Discraft is better than the Wham-O and here's why:
1) The Discraft is stiffer on the edges where you grip for the forehand throw. This is important for accuracy on the flick as the flopsy Wham-O makes it hard to get that really tight grip you need for really ripping the flick. When I grab the Wham-O for the forehand my thumb just bends the crud out of the disc, with the Discraft it's much stiffer and that allows a more accurate throw with more spin and that means more distance.
2) The Discraft is lower-profile and flies further. The Wham-O is more "domed" than the Discraft and will "hang" or "float" a little more but the Discraft will fly further.
Then there's the fact that virtually all Ultimate tournaments are played with the Discraft, so if you're looking to learn ultimate get a Discraft. Otherwise you'll be learning to throw a disc that will be different than the one you'll use come tournament time. Given the subtleties of throwing discs I would have to say that this would be analogous to a Quarterback in football playing with a different size/weight football than he'd be using in the game, only even more so since footballs to not hang or curve when they are thrown.
So in summary if you're a casual back-yard "BBQ" frisbee player this is a good disc, not great. But since you're already shopping online and the Discraft is both cheaper and better why not get the Discraft? You have have the advantage of more selection on-line than the local sporting goods store, so make the smart choice.
Actually the Innova Pulsar 175g is also a fine disc, though you'll hardly see it. I'd choose the Innova over the Wham-O but would advise anyone to just get the Discraft.

 A fine discJan 19, 2008
By S. Carmichael
I play with both discraft and whamo... No noticeable difference.. Maybe if your a pro or a faithful of discraft (or maybe work for them).. then you can tell the difference or at least will claim that discraft is the best... Apparently that must be the case in some of the other reviews... But for casual players and backyard frisbee enthusiasts (like me) this disc is a great flying disc and has a great feel to me...But hey, I am a regular guy... I like Discraft too... I like golf too... but I do not claim allegiance to Titlest either, or Nike Golf shirts. Its a brand for all sakes........ I just don't fall into that Taste Great - Less filling, Ford - chevy, Democrat - Republican camps like so many reviewers do... Its a frisbee... My only gripe with Whamo is, there ridiculous trademark claim on the word frisbee.... Good disc... You won't be disappointed...

Ultimate in NicaraguaJun 13, 2007
By Jason M. Edgerton
"nicaedge"
A bunch of us expats/missionaries play ultimate every Sunday in Managua. We have used a bunch of different discs, but these Wham-o Ultimate Frisbees are by far the best. They also hold up the best in these harsh conditions.

The disc has a great feel to it and one toss lets you know that Wham-O makes great frisbees. For speed and accuracy this is a great choice.

Good balance, good flight, great buyFeb 25, 2008
By J. Myers
"jesus_man"
It's been almost a year since I've owned this frisbee and while I haven't had the opportunity to throw it a lot, it's been a pleasure each time I get the chance. It certainly replaces the good quality 175 I had before my dog got to it. I like 175g discs because they aren't affected by normal breezes and have enough weight to carry momentum a long distance. But are not so heavy that they take a strong person to throw and/or catch. This is a great all-around frisbee.
