(xx) disc is best in (xx) plastic...

[Burrito]

We hear a lot about how great the Teebird is in DX. I personally find that Wraiths are best in Star and Pro. What other molds work best in a specific plastic? I'm especially in interested in hearing about those that are ideal in DX.

 

[Spatula Cornroll]

Any disc in it's "standard" is the best version. The older the disc, the more likely that it's intention was DX plastic. Correct me if I am wrong here.

I was thinking on this and for me plastic selection is more about the slot more so then the mold. The courses I play on regularly can be pretty hard on discs so I try to choose the most durable disc for the job at hand when playing.

Example

Putters - DX or what ever baseline plastic that company makes

Mids - Z/champ and if innova mad Rocs easier to get in Champ I would probably throw just champ ones.

Drivers BH - Champ/z and pro

Drivers FH - Champ/z

CHEERS - Koffee

I don't know about "any" but I'll agree with your statement about 95%. Vikings in DX are sweet. In champ, no thanks. I do like Leopards in champ.

The new Sirius Polaris is different that the Millennium plastic version but not that much. I'm starting to prefer the Millennium version though.

One thing I have noticed is the the faster the disc, the more the plastic seems to play a part in it's manners.

(molds that I throw)
aviar- JK pro
stingray-dx (have a couple champ ones, but they're too stable for what i need from a stingray)
rhyno- glass-top champ
buzzz- can't decide, because in my bag I carry a Z, a cryztal, a FLX and an ESP.
gazelle-dx
wraith- pro
firebird- pro line/champ

I think Leopards do their best work in Pro. Not that it's not great in other plastics.

FLX Drone for me! I have a couple of Z and Pro-D drones, but the grip and feel just don't compare.

 

[gripNrip91]

i like champ/Z plastic the best, i like the grip it has

 

[chrisf.10]

buzzz in glo z
eagle in dx

 

[eegor]

I have a rainy day combo of:

Avenger
Avenger SS

both in ESP FLX plastic. IMO, FLX is the best plastic for these molds.

OK, so what drivers/fairway drivers perform best in DX?

Teebirds? Destroyers? Valks?

I had a DX Wraith, but I really did not like it at all compared to Star and Pro.

drivers in dx: not many, but if i had to pick a couple I'd say a valk, a destroyer or a beast. as for fairway drivers: gazelle, whippet, banshee.

I would say this as well. Also good ol DX Aviar, classic! It is such a simple disc in cheap plastic, but that is the beauty of it.

 

[ejvogie]

If I threw Avairs, I might agree that base plastic is better. Rhynos and Pigs are better in Pro plastic, IMHO.

 

[Lewis]

Has anybody got a favorite plastic for the Katana?

[kevinmzane]

Pro leopards
ESP hornet
Dx teebird
Dx Valkyrie
Pro destroyer
.... Those are some that really stand out in my mind. I have heard of eagles being the best disc in dx but have yet to try one.
