Waboba Wingman — Soft Silicone Flying Disc (Standard)
Published · Researched 2026-09-21
2026 lineup note: The standard Wingman (6 in / 152.4 mm,
45 g) is Waboba's foldable silicone disc, current in 2026 at **$7.99–$8.95**. Distinct from the Wingman Pro (210 mm, 117 g — larger, heavier, longer-flying) — do not mix the two SKUs' specs. This dossier covers the standard Wingman only. Note: it does NOT float — it's a land/backyard disc, not a pool disc.
Version lineage (2023–2026)
- Pre-2023: Wingman launched as the pocketable silicone disc: 100% soft silicone, folds into a pocket, flies with a soft catch.
- 2023–2024: Stable; assorted colors/designs.
- 2025–2026: Wingman Pro (210 mm / 117 g) established as the performance sibling; standard Wingman continues as the casual/pocket pick. No revision to the standard.
Overview
A flying disc made of soft silicone that folds into a pocket: 6 inches across, ~45 grams, flies straight and true for casual catch, and doesn't sting on the catch — the silicone edge is the whole point. It's the disc you bring when a hard plastic disc feels like overkill: kids, close-quarters campsites, windy days when a light disc's float is actually a feature. It does NOT float (silicone sinks), so it's not the pool disc — that's a common misconception worth killing. At ~$8 it's the cheapest flying object in the catalog, and the foldability means it actually makes it into the camp bin instead of being left behind.

Community Verdict
The Wingman is the "oh, this is clever" disc — owners consistently praise the pocket-fold and the sting-free catch, and it's a favorite for kids and for games in tight spaces where a 175g UltraStar would be a liability. The experienced-disc-thrower critique is consistent: it's light, so it doesn't handle wind and doesn't fly as far or as predictably as a real disc — it's a toy that flies well, not a sport disc. The not-floating surprise bites pool owners (silicone sinks fast). Camp verdict: the best disc for a crowded campsite — safe, pocketable, cheap — but bring the UltraStar if anyone actually throws.
