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.
