I've been beating in a firm ridge as a thrower for about 4 months of nearly daily play.It definitely was thrown at least a half dozen times pretty much every round, and I've also used it a lot for one disc rounds. It's taken a pretty good amount of tree/rock hits, been slid along rocky ground, skipped off of rocks, driven over, thrown as a "learn rollers" disc, basically taken a pretty good amount of punishment. Visually you can barely tell.
Mine has definitely changed flight from when it was new; but not in the way that I'd hoped. I wanted the fade to season out of it and for the ridge to beat into something slightly more stable than my summit. Instead as I throw it more the ridge simply develops more high speed turn, while retaining the same fade. It makes a nice s-curve now, but I have discs that do everything that the ridge does from more than 60' easier or better.
60' and in though, the ridge has almost every shot. I use a glow ridge as my putting putter and the beat firm ridge for extremely long putts and putts I'm trying to land under the basket (rather than in).
Maybe with more time and more throws it'll eventually beat into the understable putter I wanted, but it would probably take a very long time.
