Cheap disc or better plastic?

[dave30]

Is it better to keep throwing the basic cheaper discs if you are having good results? When I switch to the expensive plastic; I don't play any better! In fact, my most memorable shots were done with a $6 Valkyrie or Beast!

Cheaper plastic generally wears in faster. As the discs wear in, flight characteristics are sometimes enhanced or changed entirely. Higher end plastic for the most part will retain it's flight characteristics and wear much slower.

Why do I seem to throw cheaper discs better? Is it in my head? Maybe it's the fear of losing a $20 disc !!!

The DX plastic is the best for grip and flight, IMO. I have some champion plastic in my bag but prefer the DX.

Wear is not as good with the cheap stuff obviously

Flight and distance is better with the cheap stuff.

World record distance= DX Valkyrie

The Valkyrie broke the record set 10 minutes earlier by a DX TeeBird.

DX has more glide IMO. DX TeeBirds are unreal. Probably get 40 more feet out of mine over the Champ ones.

Depends on the disc. I like my champ beast a hell of a lot more than the dx one. But there are a lot of discs where the DX version is better. It just depends

[silverbullet]

i dont think one is really any better than the other . it all comes down to whatever is working for you.. if dx is putting lower numbers on the score card then go with it

I look at it this way: I hit plenty of trees. If I threw DX, I would end up spending more money than if I threw champ or star. I only have one DX disc in my bag and it is a beat Teebird which I found in a pond. That thing is flippy as hell, but if you hit it just right into a tail wind, it keeps on going and going.

It depends upon if you're throwing in a heavily treed area or around water. Expensive plastic is expensive because it lasts a lot longer.
