On the Gateway Discs website, a writer says "the more matted the finish on a disc, the less contact the air makes with the disc's surface. We try very hard to create a matted finish with the rubber in our materials, causing less surface friction and a reduction in drag."
Is this completely crazy, or am I crazy for not getting it? It seems to me that the matte surface would act like ten thousand little ridges, each adding slightly more friction, in the same way a really beat up disc made of soft plastic (like Innova's DX) would.
Or can the matte surface really act like the dimples on a golf ball? Something's missing here, and I don't trust my understanding enough to confidently say "you're wrong!"
