Want to find the best dog disc.
Durability is top priority, but would be nice if it was easy to pick up, catch, and soft on the mouth. Would also be nice if it could fly decently.

Are the Jawz discs more durable than champ plastic for doggie use?

What about those Kevlar discs?

Thanks!

I have a Jawz disc and a Hero dog disc. Both fit all of the criteria you have listed. I have had these discs over a year. They look a bit used because the stamp has worn, but other than that, they feel and fly just like the day I got them.

My dog was about 4 months old when I got them. She couldn't catch them then, but would chase them down as rollers. Being a puppy, naturally she was a bit of a chewer. Neither disc has any noticeable tooth mark after all these months.

Emma is 19 months old now and can catch discs. These discs seem to have the right mix of plastic and aerodynamics. Two paws up! :D

Thank you for your reply, anita.

How would you (or anyone...) compare the plastic of the Jawz disc to something like Innova champion plastic? I'm guessing the Jawz plastic is more durable when it comes to bite marks/holes?

These Jawz discs are a better option than say, an old champ aviar?

I can't say. Emma doesn't get to chew on my champion discs. :D

I would guess that Champion discs would hold up pretty good as they seem to be indestructible. Adult dog teeth aren't as destructive as puppy teeth. Give it a try!

The Jawz and Hero discs are a fastback style design and throw pretty straight and far.

100 gram polecats work really well. they do not hurt their teeth and have a big rim so they can easily pick them up. they fly really slow with a lot of glide. my lab loves em'

The great thing about the Hero disc is the glide/float. More float = more time for your dog to catch up with the disc in order to catch it airborne. Also, you usually want those discs in weights around 100g, much lighter than you can get mst golf discs.

I never thought about the weight of the disc, but it make sense.

You are right about the float on the Hero disc. The Jawz disc flies the same way. They do fly slow so your dog can run under them for the grab.

He's still a pup, so we're a long way from catching air flights.
He is a golden, so he'll retrieve air shots and rollers all day, or until he finds a bug or something...lol.

Will probably go with the Jawz, just so that he has his very own doggie disc.

He's just my "nephew", but darn he's cute.

my large dogs have two of my retired discs.
one is champion{innova},the other is Z plastic.
both have evidence of dog use however no punctures.
neither disc showed wear with the lab playing with them,then we got another large dog and they play tug of war .
the wax, d , proline, and elite X disc didnt last a week with the lab
she was chewing thru those easily.

If your dog doesn't chew too much...
My Border Collie gets about 6 months out of a Gumbputt, Blowfly type. Great for catching too.

My Yorkie (Smalls) likes the Blowfly. He only chases it when I throw rollers. His sharp little teeth haven't put any holes in it, and I still occasionally throw it during rounds.
