Aerobie Epic. Thoughts?

I thought about picking one of these things up. if for nothing else, it looks like it might be fun to throw on the occasional wide open hole where I have enough room overhead to huck one through the roof.


Anyone else own one? is it worth the cash to even own, or is it totally useless?


Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched and came up with nothing.

1.7% of overhand throwers swear by it. 98.3% of overhand throwers (and ~100% on non-overhand throwers) think it is a piece of fecal matter. You must decide for yourself whether it is "worth the cash", given the testimonial evidence.

Language sir.

That's what I had heard anecdotally too, but I don't know anyone who has throw one personally.

Just curious, what happens if you do try to backhand it?

It flies for a while, then lands.

Lets be more specific.

It flies for a while; poorly, then lands.

I understand that it "flies bad"..but what does it fly like? Stable? Understable? Distance?

TBH I never bothered throwing it back hand or forehand. There was a guy who swore by it forehand though; but I think he might have been high.

If your interested enough; usually there are some for trade as people try them out. If nothing else; it makes for an interesting conversation as most people tend to have a very strong opinion about the legality of it.
