  I loved this disc. Victor Malafronte says it's the "Largest retail disc." It's 15 inches in diameter, made of good flexible plastic, with a high flight plate that slopes gracefully down to a solid concave rim. Unfortunately, it also has three cracks in it. We used to use the Giant Saucer Tosser for warmups. After playing with this behemoth (which sailed surprisingly well for a behemoth) for ten minutes, using exaggerated movements to hone precise flicks, we could do no wrong with a Super Pro for the next hour. Sigh. Those were the days.

  It's my understanding that Wham-O bought CPI to put them out of business. Their regular-sized discs had some credibility, but I never really like them. The Giang Saucer Tosser, however, transcended the need for flight rings. I can't bring myself to play my only one, and I miss its feel.
