I've spent a couple of days with a stack of Z Comets trying to figure out this comment. I mean if it bothers you it bothers you, but nothing about a Z Comet feels even remotely uncomfortable in my hand. Just wanted to mention that since Comets seem to be getting trashed here for something I've never experienced.
I have a Pteranodon in the Grip Performance plastic. It seems to me to be much more like Star plastic on the softer side than Soft X to me. It's not giving me an X plastic vibe at all. It does have a good feel to it, though...
The Caribou idea is pretty intriguing. I like the Pteranodon enough to try more Daredevil discs, and it could be a cool option. I don't really agree with a lot of the details of your assessment, but the overall idea still seems decent enough to try.
That's bizarre. Beads are just rounded edges, there isn't anything sharp about them. Sharks don't have a bead BTW. What you have there is the flashing from where the core piece and the wing piece meet, and literally every disc has the potential of flashing there, bead or no. Bad flashing happens and it sucks when you get a disc with that, but it's in my experience a hit and miss kinda thing. I've been throwing Rocs and Comets for over 25 years and I've never had an issue. Hit those suckers with some sandpaper!The only other discs that shred my finger are sharks and rocs. This is why I figured it must be the bead doing it. I'll look through the box of comets I still have left over and see if they are just as sharp, but I think they are.
They seem to be pretty small volume so the plastic might change just based on what they can get. I'd have to have a lot more Daredevil Discs to know what I'm talking about, though.The plastic took me by surprise. But it's also a different weight than it used to be, so I'm wondering if Daredevil completely reformulated what they call "Grip Performance" because it's SIGNIFICANTLY different than the Swift Fox as well (although like you, sample size 1 there). I have two of these new caribous and they are identical 174g super grippy. The only part of soft-X that feels like X is the flex of the flight plate. The surface feels like a skin of lightly textured nitrile stretched over it. I have two ringers and two ringer GT's in soft-x and they feel just like these caribous.

Are you certain you know what flashing is?

I like the Bounty as well, but it's not nearly as close to the Comet.Or the Bounty. It's very tasty.
