Wham-OHDX Model 170g

Jonny's replacement replacement . As the sport of freestyle flourished in the mid-to-late 1970s, there arose a definite need for a flying disc made of sturdier plastic. Repeated tipping, especially in cold weather, would cause the discs to crack, (just what happened)thereby shortening the freestyle life of the disc. Dan Roddick of Wham-O, Inc. an accomplished freestyler himself, heard the outcries of his fellow freestylers and urged Wham-O execs to explore the possibility of a flying disc made of stronger material. His strategy to bring their attention to the matter included piling up cracked discs in the hall of the R&D department. The campaign eventually worked.
The result - the High Durability eXperimental Frisbee®, more commonly known as the HDX, was molded from a low density polyethylene. The new plastic was tested by freezing the discs, then subjecting them to breakage tests by smashing them into the factory walls at Wham-O. They proved to be superior in strength to the World Class Frisbee® plastic.
