All disc models are gender neutral. In theory, even all weights of all models can work for both men and women even though a max weight, overstable disc might work better as a forehand disc in the wind for some women and backhand control disc for some men. My thought for manufacturers is why not consider producing discs with both a champion man's and woman's signatures on their sig disc models?
Let's say some manufacturers have discovered over time that a champion man's sig on a disc increases sales. And some manufacturers either have proof or believe a woman's solo sig on a disc might reduce sales. However, I'm thinking that both signatures on a disc would increase disc sales beyond what the man's sig alone might produce. It should reinforce the idea that discs are gender neutral. And from a PR standpoint, it should present a more positive team image for the manufacturer with solid support for both genders. It might even reduce the stigma in some quarters regarding pink discs since a guy's name would also be on some disc models.
Isn't this discussion derailment the reason for two previous threads getting closed?
I feel some of the options should be
"Did your first purchased disc have a female name on it?"
"Did your first purchased disc have a male name on it?"
"Was your first disc a groove?"
"Did your first purchase have a pros name at all?"
Honestly if I knew how to start a thread I'd make this into one. Someone want to do it for me?
Paul, how do you feel about re-starting the "Ask McBeth a question thread"? I can put it up for you if you're into it...
Grow the female side of the sport through shame and/or guilt?
That might get a few sales in short term but will do nothing for the growth long term.
Exactly what I did when I started. Turns out it's a great driving putter and I still have one in the bag.The first disc I bought for myself was a JK Aviar.. After feeling KC plastic and other putters I thought the JK seemed like it would "grab the chains".
I know I thought something about it being a woman's signature disc, but the feel of the disc was much more important to me, even as a newbie.
