A Team Discraft member, Robert Leonard bags the ESP plastic of this disk.  He throws it with full power and provides a trustworthy hyzer flip in any weather conditions.  WIth slightly sell power it turns into a great slow anhyzer making it serve two functions.  A great disc for new players or an experienced player looking for a beat-in disc straight out of the box.  Andrew Presnell, another Team Discraft member likes the slower understable disc also for hyzer flip shots due to the tremendous amount of glide it provides.  If thrown hard by Andrew it becomes his roller disc and feels beginner players with low arm speed will adore it for straight shots.  Experts will find a variety of ways to shape shots and become a great utility disc.

The design goal was to create a disc that is easy to control, holds an almost perfect line on all throws, and fits comfortably in most hands. The Sting achieved all of this.
