Ive heard that tye dyes actually are much harder, much more stable than other discs.....my experience has been of this same as I have an Eagle champ tye dye thats way more stable than more translucent champ eagles.
Many People laugh at me when I bring it up but I do believe it and as I said earlier anyone whos played more than 10 yrs seems to prescribe to this through trial and error.
Ya know the fly dye does seem harder.
thats because it is
:clap:
I'm sure all the different deep colors added to a tye dye actually make the plastic more stable....especially since tye dyes have a plethora of reds, blues, blacks, greens, and minimize the lighter colors.......in a twist tye dye gets lost easier (probably lots of stable plastic tye dyes to the left the fairways at your favorite course!
Harder plastics have less friction on the molecular level thus u really have to get them moving to get any high speed turn out of them
harder plastics are also faster for this reason
they also last longer durability wise
an old ce disc is way harder than a current pro disc for example
harder is better. True story. Some colors by deuduction seem to be harder
From another website:
The color in plastic comes from pigments melted into the plastic. Typically, the colors are derived out of the various oxidation states available to metals. Chromium has several oxidation states and is hence a favorite for deriving coloured pigments for blending plastics. Copper can be blue, or green. Iron can be blue, red or black. Titanium is white and chromium adds most of the rest of the colors. The balance is a matter of blending the base colors together.

So if the color is derived from chromium, titanium, copper, and iron and these are all basic elements there has to be an effect on the chemical bonds of the plastic.......I'm liking the discs that have Iron and Copper in them (blue, red, black, green)
This also seems to add substance to the darker shades of pink, darker shades of blue, as being more stable as these have less of that dastardly chromium or titanium in them........I'm no expert but just putting this out there for thought.
Is darker maybe better? Purples, blues, greens, Reds in deep shades perhaps
They're making many of the Opto in fairly vibrant colors now, and all the blitzs I've ever seen are also pretty darkly colored.
Nothing like the opaque champs though, but thats largely from the weighing agents, apparently. The weight-opacity difference is more visible in Z too I think - light hornets and buzzzes can be extremely translucent.
I guess my opto core could be a nice disc if it were a dark purple (its basically a fuse these days)
That blows me away. So there could actually be different metals worked into the plastics.
That leads me to this question, though. Iron and titanium have a vastly different weight to them. I'm doubting that there's very much of these metals added to the plastics, or the each of the colors would come out in different weights. It must be a minuscule amount.
Which makes me think that if this is the culprit, the real cause isn't that the differing metals cause a weight distribution change similar to the way that Champion vs. Star vs. DX does. But more that it causes a change in the way the discs cool and set, leading to a differing shape/PLH.
What I'd like to know is if anyone has two identical discs, (mold, dome, weight and PLH) but in different colors. And how those two discs fly comparitively.
