It's also highly responsive to touch, allowing for floaty upshots or controlled putts from a distance.

How does the Aero compare?

Aero vs Polecat ( 1 / 3 / 0 / 0 )

While both are straight-flying and beginner-friendly, the Aero has more glide and distance potential. The Polecat is lower profile and more putter-focused, whereas the Aero bridges the gap between putter and mid-range.

Aero vs Dart ( 3 / 4 / 0 / 0 )

Both discs share identical flight numbers, but the Dart has a slightly smaller diameter and more refined rim, making it a bit faster and more dynamic on longer lines. The Aero is better suited for players who prefer a deeper, more traditional feel.

Aero vs Nova ( 2 / 3 / 0 / 0 )

The Nova is designed for ultra-straight approaches with less glide and more torque resistance. The Aero, by contrast, floats more and is better suited for finesse shots with less power.

Aero vs Sonic ( 1 / 2 / -1 / 0 )

The Sonic is more understable and designed for short touch shots, often thrown with minimal power. The Aero is more stable and better suited for longer, glide-heavy lines with dependable control.

Whether you're building your first disc golf bag or rounding out a seasoned arsenal, the Aero offers a flight you can't get from many other discs. Its effortless glide, straight flight, and deep, old-school feel make it perfect for approach work, long putts, and those clutch upshots that require total control.
