(Review of Super and Mini Sports Disk)
Our Testers Said: “This was so cool. I took it outside with my friends, and we just started playing.”
Why It’s a Winner: Families and teens adored this new outdoor sports game. Available in super size or mini, each set comes with two net ring catchers and a soft ball. Players can toss the ball back and forth, like paddle-ball, or play over a net, like badminton. A copter ball can be purchased for an additional challenge. Our players had a blast and passersby kept stopping to ask what they were playing and where they could get one. We love that this safe, fairly easy to use game is fun for everyone, and it gets kids and adults moving. As one tester said, “Anyone can play. You don’t need to be a baseball player to have fun.”

(Review of CopterDarts)
Remember the old game of lawn darts? This update makes it safer to play: The darts have foam wings to slow them down, and the weighted bottoms ensure that they land upright.

Popular Science - Popsci.com
When throwing underhand, with an upward motion, the wings remain flush against the shaft upon launch but naturally deploy during free fall, creating a helicopter-like spinning motion that lets the dart slowly descend to the ground.

This safe, aerodynamic, foam version allows you and your grandchildren to set up the large orange "flying target disc" on a suitable patch of grass, and toss the darts from a challenging distance. The foam "wings" slow down the dart during its descent, creating unpredictable flying patterns and landing spots, prolonging the fun, and keeping things interesting.

Kids love the Super Mini Sports Disk because it can be adapted to many games including tennis, volleyball, and baseball. It also launches objects over 100 feet in the air! The Super Mini Sports Disk can be played indoors or out, and in competition or alone.
Parents will love the Super Mini Sports Disk because it meets the two main requirements for childhood play: it is fun AND safe!  And it is great to help develop motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

A twist on the traditional lawn darts game, CopterDarts utilizes a weighted plastic tip and foam wings to simulate the play value of lawn darts, without the use of metal tips. When thrown in the air, the CopterDarts hover back down in an agitated state of virtual slow motion, and upon landing, right themselves into a standing position. CopterDarts is a winner of Creative Child Magazine's 2008 Creative Toy Award.

Eventually, I suppose, someone had to go and get impaled by a lawn dart, thereby ruining it for the rest of us. Apparently someone has gone and invented a safe solution that also looks fun to play - Copterdarts.

(Review of Super Sports Disk)
The versatility of these 18-inch-diameter disks will indulge the fickleness of a child on a summer day. Bounce a ball between them for a Kadima-like game—the superstretchy but durable elastic center makes it easy for anyone. Find a net and you've got yourself a modified volleyball match. Then use one (or both) as a Frisbee-style flying disk—perfect for beach or poolside, since the rims float. Or make up your own games on the fly, with any ball you like—tennis, Koosh, whatever. The set, which comes with two disks and a ball (a 12-inch-diameter version is also available), leaves room to exercise your imagination.

“A new product picked up this year from Toy Fair is the OgoSports Disk from Ogo Sport. You can catch and throw balls with it or use it as a Frisbee. It’s a fun outdoor toy.”

NickJr. Magazine
Now kids can have all the fun of paddleball with none of that annoying noise! Also works well as a flying disk or swap the ball for water balloons (but we didn’t tell you that).
