Special Notes: From the Davis Johnson Collection. Dave says: "This is the disc I used for the winning distance throw. In the weeks before the WFC Rose Bowl competition, Wham-O sent invited players a pair of these discs in the 119 and 141 gram versions. The excitement stirred by the distinctive logo and the immediately obvious improvements of this Frisbee over the Pro Model it replaced was palpable. Wham-O quickly achieved its objective of relegating the rival CPI Saucer Tosser, which players had favored over the Pro, to the dustbin of history."
