Discraft Original Ultra-Star (w/error)

This disc was one of the early Ultra-Star flying discs from Discraft. There was a star design previous to this one, but still in the very early history of this particular disc mold. At the time Wham-O held a patent on the rings (flight rings) that were on all of the sport style Wham-O Frisbees. Although this was supposed to have flight advantages, the real benefit was grip. It was very hard for Discraft to get their Ultra-Star accepted by ultimate players without these rings. Although the disc seemed superior to the re-tooled 80 mold it was not until the patent expired on the rings that Discraft became there preferred ultimate disc. <p> This disc has two great qualities for collectors. <p> 1) No Rings <p> 2) A mistake in the spelling of the word Professional <p> Although Discraft caught the error very quickly there was a number of these discs that got into the market place. Truly a rare find.
