The Aero is a slow, glidey putt-and-approach disc rated 3/6/0/0, a large-diameter, neutral-flying putter with a remarkable amount of glide that flies extremely straight and stays easy to keep on the fairway. It is a beginner-friendly, one-disc-round classic. Its big glide and straight, neutral flight are what make it so forgiving: it goes where you aim it and, once broken in, turns over slowly and predictably for gentle turnover lines. That approachability made it a foundational control disc. The Aero holds a unique place in the sport's history: introduced in 1983, originally as the Eagle, it was the first disc designed specifically for disc golf. It is a large, beadless putter. Its low speed means it is a short-game and control disc rather than a distance one. The Aero is, quite literally, where the modern disc golf disc began, and it remains a straight, glidey control disc today. It comes in soft, grippy control-disc plastics suited to straight, glidey approaches and putting.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
