I'd played with some version of this 10 or 15 years back, and it kinda su***d.  Whatever enhancements they've engineered in, the current model is RIDICULOUS!  After three or four throws to figure out what was going on, I started throwing it a football field's length, easily, I had to keep on trotting backwards so as to not overthrow.  Then with another 10 or 15 tries, I started being able to throw it pretty darn accurately, to someone standing in the opposite goal area (it was on a soccer field).  It's also a softer rubber now, doesn't hurt when you catch it.  Twenty years ago I played a lot of Frisbee, but my 9-year-old daughter and my girlfriend's 12-year-old son soon got the hang of it, and were throwing it 50, 60, 70 yards.  They had a bit of trouble with curving and accuracy.  But once you or your kid knows how to throw a Frisbee reasonably well, this Aerobie is a BLAST!
