Hero Air 235 Dog Frisbee Pack of 2 - Lightweight Glide for Fetch

In this review the Hero Air 235 Dog Frisbee stands out as a lightweight, easy-to-throw flying disc designed for active dogs and handlers who want reliable, straight flight for toss-and-fetch or competition practice. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a friendly grip and a soft-bite plastic that gives dogs more catching time and makes repeated throws less fatiguing for the human partner. The reviewer found it especially effective for training sessions where glide and predictable handling matter.

Key Features

• Friendly grip: The disc's edge and profile feel comfortable in the hand for repeated throws, reducing strain during long play sessions.
• Straight glide: Designed for consistent flight so dogs have more time to track and catch the disc on the approach.
• Soft-bite plastic: The softer material is gentle on teeth and ideal for dogs that prefer a less stiff disc when catching.
• Lightweight design: At roughly 103g the disc is easy to throw and carries well through the air without excessive effort.
• Floats in water: Suitable for lakes or pools, so recall and fetch play can continue near water without losing the disc.
• Competition legal: Approved for use in major U.S. disc dog organizations, making it suitable for practice and events.

Who It's For

The Hero Air 235 is aimed at owners who do frequent toss-and-fetch, training sessions, or casual competitive practice and need a disc with reliable flight and a soft catching surface. It is a good pick for soft-bite dogs, novice throwers who appreciate an easy-to-handle disc, and handlers who play near water.

Dogs that are aggressive chewers or owners who need a puncture-resistant chew toy should look elsewhere, because the Air 235 is not designed to withstand sustained biting or chewing. Also, if you require a very heavy or high-wind specialty disc, a different, stiffer model would be a better match.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight construction makes it easy to throw long sets with less arm fatigue.
• The soft-bite plastic is gentle on dog teeth and comfortable to catch.
• Consistent, straight glide improves catch opportunities and training consistency.
• Floats in water and is permitted in major competition organizations for practice use.

Cons

• Not puncture resistant, so it is not suitable as a chew toy or for dogs that bite aggressively.
• Softness that aids catching may wear faster under heavy or rough play.

Our Verdict

The Hero Air 235 is a solid value for handlers who want a predictable, easy-to-throw disc that is gentle on a dog's mouth and useful for both casual play and competition practice. Buyers who value glide, a comfortable grip, and water play will find it worthwhile, but those needing a chew-proof toy should choose a different product.
