This thing will soar.  But, don't be scared off like I almost was. So many reviewers talked about this thing leaving neighborhoods and getting lost that I thought it might not be good to just toss around the yard.  But, happily you can toss this so that it goes a short distance or a huge distance.  It's lot of fun.  Much nicer and easier to catch than the hard plastic frisbee in your hand.  The is a softer rubber and is such a bright color that it's nice to watch it fly.  Throw away those frisbees and get yourself an Aerobie Ring.
