About the disc: Uktena (Pronounced Ook-tan (native speakers)/ or Ook-tay-nah (formal)) Uktena is a creature from Cherokee legends, it’s aggressive, cunning, and powerful! With its snakelike body, wings, antlers, and powerful crystal imbued upon its head, it carves through the forest and glides through the sky. Cherokee Elders say that the Uktena can be seen when major change is coming. This is exactly what the Uktena is for us at Elevation Disc Golf, because this is our first disc made from plastic! A distance driver made to snake its way through the course with the flight numbers of 11/5/-2/2. Legend has it that if you can best Uktena and capture its crystal you can become very powerful! So come see if the legends are true about Uktena and see if you can master the power it has inside! This disc was designed by Austin Minocci and the name and story behind the disc was made in partnership with Drake Bendabout of the Cherokee tribe of Oklahoma. Drake wanted to tell more people about his culture and thought the new Disc at elevation disc golf could help do that! He grew up on stories about Uktena and got more resources from his Uncle Choogie Kingfisher (Cherokee National Treasure for his Storytelling) to help bring this idea to life. He hopes it brings awareness to the Cherokee people and their rich culture of stories. Drake Bendabout is on Team Elevation and illustrated/designed the art for the official stamp of the first run of the Elevation Disc Uktena! Speed: 11 Glide: 5 Turn: -2 Fade: 2 PDGA approved. About the plastic: Our Bendy plastic is made of the grippiest and shiniest plastic we could find, made to be the next level up in stiffness after ecoFIRM. We wanted to expand our materials lineup to allow for more design and flexibility freedom, but didn't want to stray too far from our roots as a maker of unique discs. So, we made a plastic blend that has the grippiness of rubber, with just enough flexibility to reduce things like tree kicks, and super durability despite its bendable nature. *Exact color patterns will vary by disc About Elevation Discs: Elevation Disc Golf is one of the only disc golf manufacturers to primarily use rubber as a medium for their discs.
