The Stratus is great for beginners as well as pros. Easy to throw, it will fly straight at low to mid speeds, or fade to an anhyzer at higher speeds. A well-worn Stratus will flip flat when thrown on a hard hyzer. Try it for roller shots too!
"I have few nice Strats that I use for touch rollers or corkscrew shots, or just a normal left to right shot at high elevation. I'll also occasionally use it when I have no footing and can only wrist a shot towards the bucket... it doesn't take much to keep it straight. Some tight left to right shots are just easier for me with the Stratus too. It takes less effort to release and get turning."

"An absolutely critical disc for my game. I would also recommend the Stratus for beginners or anyone having trouble throwing straight. It's the best disc to start with and to get used to throwing."
-Scott Papa
"This is the best beginner disc out there, and my go-to disc when in trouble. It flies straight at low to mid speeds and turns to the right easily for those hard to get turns. If you learn how to throw the Stratus, you will be able to throw any disc."
