AJ gave you all the info you really need.
If you take the platter and learn to roll it right, you can make them roll a few hundred yards. It's a lot of fun. A game me and a few friends invented called platter rolling. You stand in a line on a straight hill street and see which platter goes further.
It's all about the inversed wrist flick.
It's amazing how fast you can get them to go too.
