Need Some Input for a New Invention for Flying Disks and Sport of Disk Golf

[centriflight]

Hello Players,
I have been granted a U.S patent for an invention relating to recreational flying disks in general. My patent will be issued on March 23, 3 weeks from now. Its a bladder structure- hollow interior or can be solid- for attachment to a flying disk with a plastic bolt-type fastener- disposes on the underside or airfoil side of disk. Its for ballast weight to be added, as the thrower deems fitting. Hollow bladder can hold water, gel, ball bearings, washers, anything deemed as fitting by the thrower for a customized enhanced flight. Here's the real kicker- the bladder- when disposed at a point lower than the outside bottom edge of the dome- allows the disk to skip over water- even allows the disk to touch the surface and continue flying, if you know how to throw with just the right touch, that is. I've built some in my garage, attached to a full-size frisbee- and tested-they're awesome. You can throw a disk twice as far with my bladder attached. The bladder drives the disk in greater speed, torque, and number of spinning revolutions- hence much longer flights. Also, perfectly save to catch as the ballast bladder is attached and disposed at the midpoint center of the disk- not on the outside rimcatching point. I made one with a propellor center with hollow rim ring encompassing the prop- put ball bearins in the ring and threw it. The rim ring drives the prop which inducts air up under the airfoil of the disk-it flew 300 yards and I'm not a very good thrower. i think my invention will be a kickass device for custom throwing in the sport of disk golf but I need some opinions relating to that. Imagine skipping over the water to that water hazard goal at the other end. i really designed it for full-size disks though, as the bladders would be to small for the smaller disks used in the sport, but I don't know, they can be reconfigured. Anyways, some input from you pros and regular players would be appreciated. My patent application number is 11/891,007 at the USPTO site-www.uspto.gov- under pending applications, if you want to see my drawings and spec. let me know what you think- good or bad. thanks. more info coming as i read comments.

Competitive disc golf is governed by the PDGA. The PDGA states in rule 802.01C that "Players may not make post-production modification of discs which alter their original flight characteristics". Unfortunately your disc will be illegal under tournament play and therefore will not be popular with the disc golf community.
