First, Touring players call this on each other more often then you would think.Perhaps the PDGA and the manufacturers and tournament players have never made a big deal out of overweight and over-stiff discs because it has such minimal impact on how well a disc flies.
A ping pong ball weighs 2 and a half grams. No one can tell the difference in a couple grams in feel or in flight. So why do you care?
Second, just because you are not skilled enough to notice the difference a couple grams makes does not mean it doesn't make a difference. More skilled players are able to notice the subtle differences.
Third, heavier discs dont travel farther....notice pretty much all distance records are with lightweight discs. Heavier discs fight out of the spin and speed faster. Allowing for a different flight path. And personally I think they fight against the wind better....but I wont say that as fact cause I dont know for sure.
Why did you come in this thread? To troll? Obviously some people like to have more meaningful discussions than "what disc do you throw" or "why my disc is better than yours cause i got an ace with it". Please go back to those and learn nothing, theres an education in this thread that you are obviously too dense to pick up on. Your loss and our aggravation.Cheating is gaining an unfair competitive advantage. Throwing a too heavy disc does not do this. Find something more important to care about.
And see my comment address your other post. You don't understand how weight effects the disc so you go around declaring it doesnt....stupid.
Its not anywhere near as soft as you're thinking. Most discs out there would pass with flying colors. Flex has become a recent issue. If you can bend your disc slightly without minimal force it will pass.great so they want floppy stupid silly soft distance drivers? no thanks, i would quit playing in tournaments if they made drivers that soft a requirement..
About 4 people on this stupid silly site care anything about this bs. Y'all are a bunch of losers who cant win a tournament without crying fowl. Make birdies and win. Bunch a sissy's over here. Nobody cares about this bs. Actions speak louder then words. Make birdies with a 300g piece of marble for all I care. You cant and you suck thats why you are defending this non topic.
Had you taken the time to read the thread instead of trolling you would have seen the arguments that the rule should be changed/abolished because it is arbitrarily based on BS. Its not for safety its for the pDGA to cover its own behind for legal action. People get hit more often than you think. Some courses are compacted and chuckers dont call "fore" often.Safety really????? How many of you have seen someone get hit by a disc??? Ok a few. How many of you have seen that person taken away in an ambulance??? Ok, about none. Really. Whatta Joke. None of this matters.
Additionally, you would have also noticed the conversation turn from that to how it could be done to enforce the ruling as is or with slight tweaks to put minimal cost on the manufacturer. Some of us like to have more worthwhile discussions than which disc you personal throw. If you don't find value in it than go somewhere else. Your voice doesn't need to be heard everywhere. Add something of worth to the discussion or leave without saying anything.
assuming makes an a** out of you not me [in this case tbird888]Then we are all cheaters, including you.
some of us do actually do our best to conform to the rules. all my discs are legal weight (for tourns) and I am 99% they would all pass the flex test.
