Magnetic attraction

[captain jack]

Follow along.
Disc golf targets are usually made of galvanized steel.
We all have seen those flexible magnets, like you have stuck to the fridge door.
Why not imbed a strip of rare earth magnetic material, like neodymium, into the rim of a putter ?
Would this make it stick to the chains better ?
Is there some kind of rule not allowing it ?

Inquiring minds.........yadda yadda.........Bueller ?

I already throw magnets

Either your putting REALLY sucks, or you have too much time on yours hands. You're not writing a manifesto in a cabin somewhere are you?

Thats almost exactly what I was thinking

They would have to be some hella strong magnets get a flying disc to stop, and go into the basket.

We are not crazy. See, it says so. Right there on page three of our manifesto....

Yes.

i have been waiting for years for someone to actually ask on the forums. this is somethign you joke about with your buddies not take seriously. there is some rule that this would fall under i know that but im not taking the time to look it up.

just remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid........

 

[Roc1Time]

A rule besides altering your dsc?

 

[Cgkdisc]

From the disc tech specs:
(2) be made of solid, non-magnetic plastic material, without any inflatable components;

So if the basket would attract magnetic discs, are wood imbeded Aviars be attracted to trees?

 

[Roc1Time]

The wood rocs arent

Metal in the rim of a putter. I probably would have killed that kid I hit in the head with a blind putter drive 2 years ago at brown park. Basket was on the other side of a hill. Tanked the kid on the next tee, bloodied but otherwise ok. After I gave him a beer.

Nope. I'd say around 19.

Mine is, but so are all the rest of my discs. I think maybe it's me, not the discs though.

Woodies are trying to get back to their roots.

 

[leppard]

My putt is off by a foot and the magnet sucks it in and it sticks to the chains. Cool.

You don't have to have wood imbeded Aviars or wood in any type of disc for it to be attracted to a tree...their naturally attracted to trees. Take my word for it.:\

So if it sticks to the outside of the basket you still have to place it in the basket...Right?:wall:
