Does temperature change your disc selection?

Do you change your disc selection because of cold weather?
Do you find that your discs fly differently, depending on the temperature?

Not based on flight path, but I did pull out some DX and put away some star when the temperature got below 40 this winter. My discs fly differently based on temp, but it is probably as much my grip and motion as it is the plastic.

i throw less understable discs in cold weather, more understable seem to turn over more easily in cold weather for me...

[ambroze]

Yes they do fly differently. I specifically have discs that I will not throw in the winter and when the weather warms up I will break them out. One of these discs is mainly the Champion Wraith. It’s very flippy to me when the air is cold but flies straight as an arrow when it’s warmer weather.

Remember:
Cold (thin) air = flippy
Humid (thick) = (over)stable

I've heard it was the other way around, cold is more stable and warm is normal flight? Doesn't matter to me, my bag never changes due to temps.

the colder and wetter it is i tend to throw higher quality plastic because i think it dries off better and can maintain its characteristics better in adverse conditions(snow and 20 degrees or colder)

I throw my heated discs in the winter. This helps keep my hands warm. The extension cords are a bit of a hassle, but generally it's worth it.

i throw lighter discs in the winter but i think its just a mental thing. i tell myself the cold air pushes heavy disc down so lighter discs fly farther.

Love FLX plastics for winter! I don't change the discs, but the plastics. I prefer Pro, Star, Elite X, ESP, and FLX for winter. I take out anything Elite Z or Champion in cold weather. Warm weather I throw anything.

I throw the same discs all year long for the most part. But I do notice a difference in how they fly. And I do agree that Champion plastic flies better when it's warmer. Actually even in the dead of winter a bit of warm sunshine, even when there's snow on the ground, seems to soften the Champion plastic to make it soar better.
