In 1948, the first plastic Frisbees were produced by Morrison and his business partner Warren Franscioni and re-named their invention as Flyin-Saucer. In 1955, Pluto Platter was a new disk produced by Morrison. The additional brand name Frisbee was given by Wham-O co-founder Richard Knerr to increase sales. Ed Headrick who was hired in 1964 as Wham-O’s new General Manager and Vice President was the man behind Frisbeeā€™s success. The first professional model was sold in 1964.The International Frisbee Association was founded by Headrick commonly known as the “Father of Disc Sports.
