The Relic is a none beaded straight flying some what under stable disc. The lip on the Relic is where it gets the name Grip Plastic, the grippy rubber like rim grabs the chains so well that it should take your score down as you well not glance off the chains! the center plate is a firm plastic which make it nice for those up-shoots or short drives! With the Firm Flight plate the disc well not wobble while in mid flight, so your throw and the flight should be the same with every throw! The grip lip also stops the disc when it hits the ground, so no more skipping 50 feet from where you landed your disc!
