How much does hand size (maybe also finger length) influence disc preferences? I'd seen some discussion on this with regard to rim width, but was wondering about other aspects of discs, like dome, bead, etc.
For example, Comets, Rocs, discs with dome/beads/depth/wide rims feel more comfortable in my hand. For others, these are uncomfortable and undesirable characteristics on discs.
For perspective: my hands are larger than average. Before really getting into disc golf I was mostly into lifting weights, so the discs I was used to handling most were 20kg/45lb weight plates (both traditional plates and the thicker rubber bumper plates.) Also prefer anything with a thicker bar/handle/grip (think axles over thin whippy weightlifting bars.)
Getting into disc golf, the discs that felt most comfortable to me were some combination of deeper, more domey, beaded. Discs that were more flat or shallow felt awkward.
For those who prefer lower profile/shallower/beadless discs, do you have smaller hands? Anyone with bigger hands feel less comfortable with these discs?
Is there any relationship between these, or any other factors? Is it simply an individual preference independent of hand size?
