About a year ago I procured several nice DX plastic discs in various molds, and the plastic was nice and grippy and rubbery, and when it hit other objects it could fray very slightly (if sharp) but was not likely to lose chunks of plastics.
I picked up a couple DX Classic Rocs (red stamp on yellow plastic) from DGC a few months back and they were not anywhere near the quality of the rubbery DX I had with my older DX Classic Roc (rainbow stamp on yellow plastic). These are more waxy crayon-like feeling and the plastic is prone to breaking off in chunks on impact. (One of the newer ones lost a chunk out of the rim after hitting only a tree.) The disc feels more rigid as a whole than the earlier rubbery versions, but not nearly as durable.
Anyways, what happened to that wonderful older rubbery DX plastic from about 1-2 years ago? Did they go back to that waxy crappy DX plastic instead? If so, it seems like a real shame.
