airbear Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 When we competed, we used Fastbacks or Hyperflites. If you want to compete in disc dog, make sure your disc is certified by the santioning organization as a competition disc. Having only done Skyhoundz-sanctioned events, we only usd the aforementioned discs. Here's a link to the Skyhoundz disc store: Discs If you're not interested in competing, just want to play disc, then I like those fabric ones. They don't fly as well, but they don't get wrecked as easy either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan's Mom Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I second GeorgiaBC's recommendation. We bought 50 frisbees from DTWorld for like $80 - the misprints. We haven't even gone through half of them and we bought them over a year ago!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katelynn I second that, old navy discs are the best. I've had mine for 2 years, just don't leave the disc lying around when you're not playing.

BeezSK Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I just picked a new disc up from PetSmart, hard plastic with this nub thing on the bottom that makes it easier for the dog to pick it up off the ground. Played with it twice and no cracks or teeth marks yet, usually that's about as long as a frisbee lasts us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbear Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Originally posted by BeezSK:...Played with it twice and no cracks or teeth marks yet, usually that's about as long as a frisbee lasts us Totally! At his peak of training, we were going through 3 discs per 20 minute session. Bear has what one competitor kindly called "a committed grip". Later, that kind of commitment would come to haunt us on stock, where it is not so desirable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashless Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I just ordered some 'fastback' frisbees from wright-life and I noticed they're pretty hard. For some reason I was expecting them to be flexible, did I get the wrong ones? I hope that Sadie will eventually compete in freestyle competitions with me so I wanted to start her with the right discs, so I wanted to be sure. Are dog discs hard, or are they flexible?

Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Fastbacks are soft plastic but not pliable like rubber. Have her fetch one and check out how she leaves teeth marks in it right off. That's correct - her teeth should sink in and not chunk out sharp divots like the hard frisbees get. The fastback is light and rigid, which is what is needed for long distance throws and precision freestyle tosses. You also need this for the rollers and low flyers (I think Sadie is young?) which you'll want to do until she is old enough to jump. Keep more than one in use at a time and teach her to "drop" on command or in a particular place in relation to you - these will save wear and tear on the discs, and her teeth. You'll also have a leg up (so to speak) on the freestyle training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Oh, and you can get fastbacks for practice ridiculously cheap at Discovering The World - order the misprints and you can get 50 for around $80 or $90. It's really great if you can get a couple pals to go in with you, of course, unless your dog is REALLY aggressive or you are a very serious competitor! Ooops, just noticed two other people mentioned DTW. Oh, well. They ARE good. Rachel, I've got to get some discs from you I think! This is a super place for frisbee and I'm going to teach Ann now that she's far enough along on sheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashless Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks so much, it makes me feel better about it. After I read your post, I took a fingernail to one and easily scarred it. She is still way too young to jump, 4.5 months I think, and she actually just sprained her ankle by jumping off a couch. (not a behavior we encourage by any means, she was chasing my mother-in-law's sheltie Fiona, who had her ball). Anyways, she's grounded for at least a week. The vet said not to worry about it, but it's so hard to ignore that pitiful whimper when she wants to play ball but can't. Thanks again for the feedback. I ordered 3 mis-prints and will see how fast she goes through them. Then maybe someone around here will want to go in on 100 with me.

Atlanta Smitty Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I have a rubberish disc I got from Petsupermarket and Petco. They are generally $12 each. Works great. A Rottweiler and I got into a tug of war competition with the frisbee. Didn't tear it a bit. The best ones I ever had I got from Oldnavy from Halloween. Glow in the dark. I had 6 ($1 each) but donated 1 to the bottom of a pond. 3 to the local dog park. 1 into shreds. And the last one is at a friends house down in Savannah. I'm thinking of competing my dog when he gets older in disc. I'm wanting to get sort of the official disc or equipment best for competing. Next time there is a disc/agility competition in Georgia I'm going to try and go to it. Then talk with some people and see what they have.
