This ring is durable and flies very well. A little difficult for a dog to pick up on a flat hard surface, but once the technique is mastered, it is not a problem. Because this is rubbery, it is pleasant to catch. This my second one, the first having been chewed to pieces, but used for fetch play it has lasted several weeks, with no damage to date. She has the old one to chew on unsupervised. I bought 3 this time, but may not have to use the others for a while. Other lighter construction plastic rings were useless within a few days, while the heavy duty ones, though durable, don't fly well and are not pleasant to catch. This is the Goldilocks dog frisbee.
