ABSTRACT:
A flying disc, such as used for catching and/or throwing, constructed in a single piece structure integrally molded from flexible plastic material having a central flight plate section, an outer rim, and a shoulder section connecting the central flight plate section to the outer rim, the top surface of the outer rim having a raised ridge which provides a gripping surface and which gives the appearance of a rear spoiler which is believed to act as a rear control or deflection surface on the trailing edge of the disc.
