Ultra-Star or Frisbee?

There is often some confusion about the terms ultimate discs and Frisbee discs. That is because "Frisbee" is a regestered trademark name (a brand name if you will). Frisbee is a owned trademark of Whamo, hence the Whamo Frisbee is the original ultimate disc for the sport ultimate frisbee. However the "original" ultimate disc has been improved upon over the years and a more durable, truer flying and more economical disc has been developed.

The Ultimate Ultar-Star, developed by Discraft in 1981, is the only official disc for tournament play approved by the Ultimate Players Association (UPA) and is the choice of ultimate teams world wide. The Ultra-Star ultimate disc is "the world standard for the sport of ultimate".(Discraft.com)
