Still doesn't make as much sense as Prodigy's number system. A D1 is overstable. A D6 is understable. If you would know that you can get the idea of what other groups are, such as the mids or putters.
Plus if you look at the DD family by them, it's all over the place. A DD is 11/5/0/2. A DDX is 12/6/-1/2. A DD2 is 12/5/-2/2. The DD family is all over the place.
Basically what I'm getting at is the irrationality people have for Prodigy's naming system, but think Discmania's is perfectly fine.
The # for the driver families is just chronological, that's probably the most self explanatory part of their whole system IMO. Most companies just number their versions/iterations, regardless of industry.
Saying Prodigy and Discmania's naming systems make differing amounts of sense is like cutting a sandwich equally in half and claiming it makes more sense to eat one side over the other first.
People say that about Discmania because they use Innova's plastic grade naming convention, so it was an easy port over.
Prodigy did not have that benefit, so they had to create a completely new way to describe their plastic grades that would not infringe upon trademarks of known brands, and also be marketable.
I guess the point I'm making is that it's really not all that hard, both brands use a systematic approach to naming. Innova doesn't even try to market names for discs that imply a system, and if you pulled 3 random discs off the shelf most of the people who have ever posted on this forum could order them in terms of stability.
We probably agree more than we disagree on all this, just my .02
The most simple way to explain it is, higher number= higher quality/more durable plastic. If the number has a "G" behind it, its a bit more grippy than without the G. Not sure if that is the official explanation, but its pretty accurate.
They did a decent job, all things considered.
Dynamic Discs for me is the hardest to understand, as ironic as that is.
