da Best!
Hello, I have a very driven 3 year old German Shepherd Dog that loves balls and discs. We have tried over 20 different discs and this one fits the bill better than all the rest. We actually prefer the 9″ model as it is easier to swim, this review is for both sizes.Pros:Floats high in the waterEasy to throw, even for non-frisbee folks we meet at the beach or park.Durable! Rainan is a chewer, yet 3 discs last 2 months! We do a thing where three discs are involved. Through Amazon our disc budget comes to 50 cents a day.soft on the teeth when catching direct shots! Some discs are rock hard -very bad.This disc flies really well as compared to all the floppy discs that throw like an inner tube or the ones that don’t float in the air (fabric discs or hard heavy discs).My dog, and the dogs we meet, seem to really like the mouth feel. This is important.CONS:Not Totally durable. I can’t leave the disc with my dog. and it wears out…This disc sometimes bounces off his mouth. When throwing to a human I noticed this as it often bounces off your hand.You can’t choose colors. Yellow is best in low light, but looks trashed quickest.I would like to see more dogs out there getting solid exercise. The name is too long and not easy to remember. I know it but people don’t. I am often ask “What was the name of that toy”. The company name is first, StarMark. Which is a cool name but describes nothing useful. Then merged after is the model, Easy Glider. Four names are not good for word of mouth sales. Or is it Duraform StarMark Easy Glider? Ha I have to tell people to go to amazon and search Easy Glider or Star Mark. Then look for the product that looks like this. Oh yea it might say DURAFORM in bold print but don’t search for Durafoam.. that’s what is is made of?? Everything else is what we liike!!Great disc! I am a disc advocate as compared to throwing a ball. With a ball you can do just about one thing, that is, throw in one direction and the dog chases in one direction. With a nice disc, such as this one, you can float it so it lands just where you know your dog can catch. Or just go really far. Rainan looves the “rabbit run throw” where you turn an overhand throw vertical and the disc rolls and jumps, he snags it on the run. When he returns I shoot another and he catches it. Then another.A disc is so much more interesting than a ball. For the human too! You both get better and better.Using more than one disc is also more mind stimulating.Thanks dog lovers!Raindog

My dogs favorite outdoor toy
I have 3 dogs tugging on this daily and they love chasing after it. It gets a lot of use so I’m on my 3rd one in 2 years. Worth it.

Absolute favorite toy
I am SO happy to have tried out this Easy Glider. We’ve been through a lot of frisbees both before and after trying this one; several have been good but none top this one. Some were too hard rubber or too hard for the dog to pick up off the ground (Kong flyer), others shredded too quickly (pretty much all ones that had any sort of fabric, but especially flip floppy one).I’m on my 2nd easy glider in 2 years, and it’s holding up well. It’s our beach toy, and friends will actually recognize me and my dog when they see this bright yellow frisbee flying through the air. It’s easy to throw, my dog LOVES catching it in the air (she’s getting pretty good), and I’m learning how to throw it against the hard winds and still get some distance out of it. It floats, it doesn’t get heavy or soggy, it’s easy for the dog to pick up off sand or out of water, and it lasts.I will add disclaimer that my dog does not destroy or shred toys. We do play tug with this toy, and she does love to shake it around after catching it, so I don’t know if I’d call her ‘gentle’ with toys, but her toys do tend to last forever. This toy has a million bite marks, and eventually the frisbee starts pulling apart at the outside edge, but the last one took about 13 months to start falling apart and we have about 9 months on the current one.One thing is that this toy is very light, so catches the wind easily. For that reason I can’t use it in the yard, as too often it catches an odd current and ends up over the wall at the neighbor’s or stuck on a roof. What is a con at home is a serious pro at the beach, though!I’ll probably keep experimenting with different frisbees just for novelty’s sake, but I think we’ll always have one of these around.

Maybe not perfect for ME, but a great disc for real frisbee dogs
It is a durable material, and incredibly easy on the mouth for dogs who are masters at catching a frisbee in the air. If you have a really strong chewer, maybe it wouldn’t hold up as well. My dog likes to chew, but (thankfully) she is not very destructive about it and has not intentionally ripped or chewed up any of her toys.I selected this disc because I am trying to give her something to chew on (which she did), while also having a versatile toss toy. I can see she needs to chew, despite her gentle ways. If you have a mild chewer, I think this is perfect. I also wanted something that floats, so it was just the right thing for my sporty little one.My pup is not a master catcher and struggles to pick it up off the ground. I intend to attach handles to it so she can pick it up more easily. If it wasn’t so difficult for her, I can tell she would like it a lot! She just gets bored of trying to pick it up.It does kind of stink when it’s new — like chemicals. I intend to literally rub it on dirt or something to try to get the smell to go away.This has nothing to do with the product, really… but I wish they had a 7in option as well! That would make it pretty ideal for my dog.Overall, I can’t give it a bad review. It’s awesome, I actually love this product… just maybe not the perfect thing for my dog.

Auch wir sind mit dem Triple Crown sehr zufrieden – relativ gute Flugeigenschaften und unsinkbar, dabei stabil genug, um Zerrspiele mit zeitweilig bis zu 3 großen Hunden (30 kg +) auf einmal auszuhalten. Unser Labbi hat jedoch in nunmehr 2,5 Jahren etliche davon aufgebraucht, weil sie eben aus weichem Gummi sind und er sie nicht gerne für längere Flugpausen abgibt, sondern lieber selbst trägt, verbuddelt, kaut, usw. Wir sind jetzt bei Nummer 8 und Nummer 9 sollte demnächst bestellt werden.Bisher habe ich noch keine Alternative mit den gleichen Eigenschaften gefunden (maulfreundlich weich, fliegt gut, unsinkbar), die länger hält.Da alles, was wir bisher alternativ wirklich getestet haben, gegenüber diesem Produkt Nachteile hatte (Flug- und Schwimmeigenschaften, Material, sogar Haltbarkeit), kann ich nur volle 5 Sterne vergeben. Dass das Produkt leider nicht ewig hält und bei entsprechend entschlossenem Beißen und Reißen auch kaputt gehen kann, rechtfertigt keinen Punkteabzug.Nachtrag Dezember 2015: Vor 3 Jahren noch fast überall im Internet für unter 6 E zu haben, kostete der Artikel im Juli dieses Jahres bei Amazon 7,99 E (Versandkosten nur 0,- bei entsprechendem Gesamtbestellwert). Inzwischen werden nicht nur hier teilweise Fantasiepreise verlangt. Der günstigste Preis liegt bei Amazon bei knapp 11 E inkl. Versand (aus USA!). Zu teuer für ein Produkt, das (leider) nur begrenzt Haltbar ist und nicht repariert werden kann.Habe heute (9.12.15) anderswo das Frisbee in einem deutschen Shop für 5,35 E gefunden (mit Eingabe eines für jeden zugänglichen “Gutscheincodes”). Am Produkt selber können diese Preisunterschiede wohl nicht liegen, sondern eher an den Händlern. Daher immer noch kein Punkteabzug für das Produkt.

Repeated purchase for my shepherd dog over the years. He loves the disc. Most durable, easy to grip/throw disc compared to other named disc. But it does suffer wear and tear, about 6months daily usage. Soft bite for dog, minimal biting on tongue/slippage from mouth

Our German Shepard LOVES these frisbes!! They fly well, and dont hurt the dogs mouth or teeth when he jumps to catch it. It is very tough, and his previous one lasted over 3 years before he lost it. Our dog chews on the frisbe and he has never destroyed one. Highly recommend and would buy again.

Amazing toy for my dogs who both love it! It’s light weight, extremely durable/chew proof, floats on water and can be thrown really far if you want to! 100% worth EVERY PENNY! I first bought this product about 4 years ago and I’ve only had to buy another one is because we lost the old one. One of the best purchases I’ve made for my dogs (a very energetic Springador and Siberian Husky)
