[Innova] why throw dx plastic?

[Halcón]

If you took a brand new, never thrown DX Teebird, would it fly differently than an identical Champ one (same weight, dome, PLH...etc)? DX seems to be very stable out of the box, but scuffs, changes shape, and beats in almost from the first throw.

I'm wondering if it really is the plastic, or the fact that DX changes so rapidly that we see the better glide.

 

[RightAJ]

Because the grip is better than on any premium plastic. Because they glide better than the same mold in premium plastic. Because they wear in to different kind of flights, some of which no premium plastic disc can produce. Because they're cheaper to buy a stack of similar discs. And because they usually still last long enough, especially in certain molds.

^All this, plus the fact that the same disc (high speed drivers specifically) get more distance in DX. I know this sounds silly but it has definitely held true for me

Good point....DX can scuff up just sitting on the shelf or on a rack at the store. Person picks up a disc, then wedges it back in the metal shelf. Maybe the 10th person actually buys the disc. Some of them are probably partially broken in when you buy them. Where as the Champ Disc just stays pristine looking.

I've made it happen.

:clap: Welcome to the club. I just laughed really hard at that one!

SO I can carry 6 rocs in my bag and have all of them be different

 

[Kingace]

You should carry more disc and less roc's.

 

[mashnut]

Why? If you can throw a large percentage of your shots with the same disc in different stages of wear it makes it a lot easier to get a consistent grip and release, and if you lose one it's easier to cover those shots with the ones on either side of it in the lineup. I carry 4 wizards and 4 rocs.

leopards. get a dx leo and it will be ur best friend for ever

 

[teemkey]

i'm still learning so im going to throw into trees

To my ear, dx makes a better, fuller sound when hitting a tree vs. champ & star.

 

[GLong]

i guess 4 chains magnets would be considered dx type plastic

everything else is pro, kc pro, z, etc etc

yup...dx, pro d, etc. any type of base plastic. i also consider innova pro and kc pro (newer runs), along with discraft elite x and plastics of that type to fly and break in similarly.

 

[ian.]

mmmm love me some old x-plastic

 

[tarel]

this is the reason the best dx disc the wolf is not in any other plastic. get 5 you will see

 

[Horsman]

If i could i would carry 20 rocs

 

[ian.]

^^^ hmm if you go classic rocs and roc3's in the mix i bet you could do it

 

[Horsman]

And neither of those are in the bag, 5 rancho and an ontario.

The roc3 wasnt straight enough to make the bag and I never really got into the classic roc

 

[ian.]

oh yeah i understand completely i have nothing but love for the roc cycle

 

[Horsman]

Yup agreed, except for me when they get to the end of the cycle they just break. It brings a tear to my eye every time
