    Reviewing in star plastic- This is an old but great flippy mid range. Nice and low profile and very versatile. Beginners can get it to fly straight easily and pros can get it to turn late or roll. Not a good disc for adverse winds but great otherwise

    Plastic: Star

    Weight: 180g

     

    Feel: My Stingray has a very slight dome around the edges that flattens out as you get towards the centre.  The rim is very comfortable and feels like a Mako almost.

    Flight: I have the ONTARIO mold of the Stingray, which means this is a very stable midrange.  There is no -3 Turn at all, closer to 0 to -1, and I wouldn't say it has 5 Glide either.  Although, those mismatches lead to an incredible disc, one that can handle an incredible amount of torque and power without wavering.  If you can find an Ontario Stingray, I recommend trying it out if you need a dead straight thrower that can handle anything.

    Conclusion: Definitely a completely different disc than a normal Stingray, but the Ontario mold is incredibly resilient to power and wind and will fight to stay straight and finish softly at the end.

     

    Sidenote: Due to its torque-resistance, the Ontario Stingray is an excellent sidearm mid.

    Highly Under Rated,  Control and Beginner Disc.

    Great for learning RHBH drive, one of the best rollers ever made.  After years of not playing this disc,  and spending time trying to control the new fast plastic,  I bought some of these.  Quite simple, don't try so hard and let the disc glide to the target.  170g is good for beginners. 180g can make a roller that your competitors hate you for throwing the shot with "eyes"   I like the DX for control, like the Star for Durable, This disc would be perfect in XT plastic.  if it was made XT...  I would have 3 in my bag.  A very light or beat Stingray could be good for new and very young players,  or be the disc to make the touch shot others don't seem to know how.  Some old school discs are still great. Stingray is one of them.

    Star Stingray (175g) - Like some other reviewers, I would say that this does not quite live up to the flight numbers. My Star Kite is definitely a -3 turn, but the Stingray is definitely more stable, maybe -1 or 0. I also don't think it glides quite as well as some other discs. It hasn't really found a place in my bag as of now, because it doesn't really do anything that other discs don't do better. I have the Kite for turnover shots and the Mako3 for straight shots. The Stingray is also domey enough that I dont' really want to forehand it. I think my last complaint might have limited application for others, but I didn't think the molding process was quite as clean on this disc and I've had to sand down the bottom edge on some some plastic edges. I've only had that on one or two other discs.

    I have a an old PFN star stingray that has involved into the best hyzerflip midrange ever. Thrown with serious snap uphill it will climb, then start walking right. Thrown level with a lot of hyzer will flip-up, then slowly drift right.

    Also a great disc for soft approaches outside of putter range. Just snap flat with about 50% power and it just floats over to the basket.

    The thin, small rim is great for us folks with raccoon size hands. Rests nicely on the fingers and palm. Great starter disc.

    Unfortunately newer models have a dome (mine is FLAT) that changes them a bit. But if you can find a FLAT top Stingray, grab it.

    Primarily FH player, I throw about 375 ft max. I got this disc in star plastic hoping to use it for RHFH turn shots with a tiny bit of fade in the end. I realized immediately this is not a -3 turn disc. It behaved more like -0.5 out of the box, and after half a year it was maybe -1. It does take quite a bit of power to make it turn, and 50% of the time putting a lot of power into it resulted in snap turn and burn, followed by a (usually) bad roll. For straight shots, I much prefer my Longbowman or Truth, depending on how far I need to throw. For this reason, it was just sitting in my bag unused most of the time until it got kicked out.

    This disc is very shallow and has a very narrow rim for a mid-range. It does not lend itself well for a power grip, but really feels nice with a modified fan grip. It has a good amount of dome which helps the disc not feel so shallow.

    There are multiple molds of stingray. I have the one with a straight bottom (neither concave nor convex) and a microbead. The blend of star plastic is older, feels like the stuff used in the pfn days, much stiffer than star used now.

    This is a fun disc to throw. In star plastic it has about a -1 turn out of the box, definitely a straight flyer.  Going to experiment with sanding off the microbead a bit and flattening out the dome to see if it will get flippier. The feel of the rim makes the disc require a bit of finesse to throw. It flies just as far as a Mako3 just less stable. After throwing this disc a while, my other midranges feel so much thicker and bulkier. 

    This is my first truly understable mid, as I've used beat in rocs and Makos for that slot previously. Though not nearly as underdtable as expected, I'm a fan so far and look forward to beating this thing in more to actually turn for a while when thrown flat. If you don't like small or shallow feeling discs, I'd look elsewhere.

    Edit: I've tried my best to beat this disc up for a while but it still only has a bit of turn. I'll either grab one in dx or look elsewhere as I am impatient and crave the flippy mids.

    great disc for starters! the under stability allows for some leeway for the starters who have not yet got there form down. Also great disc for veterans good disc to for turnover approach shots.

    The Stingray is a domey understable mid with a ton of glide. Out of the box the Stingray is as stable as a worked in champ mako3. As the stingray beats in it will turn very softly when thrown around 300ft. decent hand feel, very domey, and really fun to throw. Great for wooded tunnel shots but I think some newer discs just out class it. I would suggest a lighter/beat in mako3 for a better hand-feel. 180g star plastic

    Starts off very stable and turns into a perfect and predictable turnover disc after you beat it up enough. I use it whenever I need the disc to start turning right without putting on an anhyzer line. It also gave me my first ace.

    Perfect beginner disc. The Stingray has fantastic distance for a mid-range disc, is easy to throw, and flies straight as an arrow with very little fade. I highly recommend this disc to anyone picking up the sport and trying to throw a disc straight.

    My first straight upshot disc. My 180g pink star stingray was a blast to throw and I could trust it to hold any line I put it on when I was a new player. As my game progressed I have changed the discs and brands (Trilogy fan now) I use, but the stingray was a great disc.

    I have a star stingray and it is actually quite stable yet. It will hold any line well for me but still find it a little bit too stable for my liking yet. I am hoping it beats in so with a little bit of hyzer I can get it to flip up flat and turn a little. Just isn't happening with a freshie. Not the intended lines I wanted but still has a place in the bag.
