This run's feel: Super grippy, and firm in the hand The Groundhog emerges as a super unique approach disc, designed to get to the ground unlike any other disc on the market. Designed with an extra thick center of the flight plate, the Groundhog has what we like to call "anti-gyro" meaning about 2/3 of the way through the flight, it just wants to fall to the ground. Therefore we were able to achieve a slow and low glide flight while still making a disc that is not overly tall or uncomfortable in the hand. "I've never had a low glide disc that felt like a normal approach disc in my hand, and could be dependably stable without being dumpy. I have been throwing the groundhog all over the course. It has broken some funky holes at my local course, and gave me confidence to run the basket that I've never had before." -Austin Minnocci, Elevation Co-Founder, Mold Designer Stamp design by the talented Team Elevation Member Drake Bendabout ecoFIRM Rubber - Our ecoFIRM rubber is made of vulcanized natural rubber, with up to 30% recycled material made of scrap from medical industry manufacturing such as rubber gloves, or stoppers. In other words, every 1,000 discs we produce prevents 10,000 rubber gloves that did not meet manufacturing standards from ending up in the world's landfills. Although it uses recycled material, it is extremely durable due to the strong and flexible nature of vulcanized natural rubber. It is also super grippy (think pink eraser or a new shoe sole) and our stiffest material to date giving you confidence in the hand and the ability to pick up and start using it right away, while still maintaining a flex that absorbs impact.
