Before there was beveled edged discs and a zillion different models
of golf plastic, there was the Night Flyer and the Midnight Flyer.
Wham-O discovered by injecting glow plastic in their original molds that
the discs became much heavier and thus flew further. The numbers were
like numbers they put on golf balls to help players distinguish each
others discs on the course because they all looked the same. This very rare Night
Flyer golf disc
has Disc Golf Association hot-stamp with no indication of Wham-O on the disc except
for the raised letters on the underside. The copy write is
1978. This is pre-Midnight Flyer. As the story goes, Wham-O had to change the
name from Night Flyer because someone else had the trademark. This is the
original 40 mold. This disc mold was sold in stores
as the World Class 119 gram disc. 127 grams, but the weight is not written on
the disc. This disc is in near mint condition,
but does have some very slight delay marks, imagine that. The disc was originally
acquired by The Coloradicals freestyle team while traveling in Quebec City, Ontario.
They traded Sky-Stylers for the Night Flyers from an interested fan. Only one available.
