For the most part they do just add a glow element into DX and Champ materials but it changes the disc from other DX and Champ models. Which is BroD is right that they do tend to be a little more gummy but then Glow versions tend to be stiffer, not more flexible. They also tend to be more durable, more overstable (although some times not much more), and tend to hold their stability longer.

That is innova though... and maaaaybe gateway but I know little about their craziness in plastics.

I believe discraft though created 2 of their own types of Glow plastic that aren't as simple as adding glow material to already existing ones. Their less durable glow material holds up way better than Pro D and their glow Z style plastic tends to be rather different than regular Z... aside from the fact that it glows...

Hasn't been asked and for some reason I enjoy that you asked it. Reverse Pivot refers to when you pivot on your back foot as opposed to the front foot because you aren't properly achieving the weight transfer. So in the most basic sense it is pivoting on the back foot.

Let me try and explain that a little better. It has to do with improper weight transfer. If you are RHBH, it is when your weight fails to transfer forward towards your left foot and instead stays over your right foot (the one you use to pivot). If you are not propelled to walk forward off the teepad in the slightest after your follow through then there is a good chance that you are reverse pivoting. It is also much easier to reverse pivot when throwing an anhyzer than a hyzer.

Could I get an explination on the relationship between Rhynos and Tanks please. I tend to see them in close proximity to each other in forums.

Don't quote me, but I've held a tank and a rhyno side by side, and I *think* a tank is a no bead rhyno. they both have the thumbtrac, but the tank wasn't beaded, or at least it was super tiny

Just Kidding,

if you're referring to discs, its Juliana Korver, not sure if I spelled her last name right, but she was an innova pro, who I believe doesn't play anymore.

She had her own JK pro aviar, like a KC pro but softer I hear.
