If you take the Makani for what it is you will have lots of fun throwing it around with friends. It could be used as disc golf midrange/putt/approach if you wanted. I don't know if it's pdga approved or not. Its the same mold as the zephyr but much lighter at 140 grams with a more fun stamp. I would encourage Innova to make it available in one of their more durable plastics. Its weight and diameter are almost identical to the Discraft J*Star. The Makani has the thumbtrac and is very much a deep rim disc. The rim is not beveled at all like the J*Star. I enjoy throwing it around with my kids, it's weight and deep rim makes it easy for them to throw.
