Good value. Worth approximately $30 to $35, if purchased separately.

Each is sufficiently different from the other to make the purchase worthwhile:

- 10" ring. Plays more-or-less like a regular frisbee. For my family outings, this is the one that gets the most play.

- 13" Pro ring. Great for getting a "wow" reaction on how far it flies. Needs much more area to fly than the 10" ring. Not suitable for flying next to areas where retrieval would be difficult. Also, it has significant heft to it. I would advise against playing with children under 8 years old. (Between 8 to 10 years old, I'd suggest parents use judgment on whether their child is up to the challenge of heaving one of these disks.)

- Orbiter Boomerang. This is a very challenging flyer. My favorite technique is to stand on the side of a good-sized hill and toss it DOWN the hill. If done right, the Orbiter pancakes just above the bottom of the hill, rockets up to the sky like a banshee, then sweeps across the sky in a broad arc back to me, coming to rest at my feet.

As others have mentioned, these items sink - so stay away from large bodies of water ... or be prepared to go for a swim.

And, obviously, you'll need a lot of space to fly the Pro ring and the even more space for the Orbiter. If you don't have at least 150 feet length-wise to play with the Pro ring or at least 2 acres of open area to play the Orbiter, then I would stick to playing with the 10" ring. (An errant throw with the Pro ring or Orbiter will easily go beyond smaller areas.)

The boomerang is a little hard to figure out but these frisbees are amazing! Even my three year old can throw them :)

I play with kids in our apartment building and they dont get hurt when hit with it. It's soft and light. Boomerang does go over high so it went over some high fence and lost it. But everything is fine and fun.

The largest aerobie is easily the best frisbee out of the pack. You get tons of distance and it is very durable.
The Boomerang is fun but pretty tricky to master. It was used for 20 throws and put down. The aerobie spirit had almost no use because we were too busy playing with the pro model.
We couldn't even get the spirit to fly correctly even after several adjustments.
Just get the aerobie pro and pass on the 3 pack.

I always take these toys with me every time I'm out on the field. The Aerobie rings fly extremely straight and far. I use the large ring outdoors because its not moved by the wind much and the smaller sprint ring indoors. The orbiter is a great beginner boomerang. It works well with little or no wind. I would prefer a more heftier boomerang as almost all the fields and sports stadiums I've been to have strong winds. With heavier winds the orbiter is blown away in different directions. I guess it was made light in weight to be safe with children.

Have been using the aerobie for 15 years, it is one of the most fun throwing objects on earth. Buy this and spread out and throw. Sinks like a rock so avoid water.

I hadn't tossed one of these around in over 20 years, and I had forgotten how far they go. They're great exercise with just two people. The only thing is that if you make one slight mistake in your throw, it's going WAY off course. You don't have the forgiveness factor that you have with a regular flying disk. It's not quite as susceptible to wind, which makes throwing easier on windy days.

These are a ton of fun... make sure you have a big area to play with the boomerang...

Great set of Aerobies! The boomerang is tricky, so choose a very large unobstructed place to try it. The family uses these for fun once a week or so. Can't say enough about how well they fly. Easier to throw and catch than anything else out there. This 3-pack is perfect, so you can get to the fun right away and not be left wanting for anything.
