Abstract
A throwing disc is provided having a plurality of equally spaced scoops about an intermediate circumference of a disc. The scoops communicate air from a top surface of a disc through a mouth of a scoop to a bottom surface of the disc wherein the transfer of the air from the top towards the bottom is believed to provide additional lift. The additional lift can be utilized for additional distance especially when combined with removable circumferential weighting.
