Who cares how it "normally" flies? Go throw it; if you like the way it flies, good; if not, bad. Don't overthink it.

How Beat Up is Too Beat Up?

Have you considered wear and tear is an eventuality for most any putter (they all drill a basket eventually), and that "fresh out of the box" way that it perhaps flew has a very short shelf life that you shouldn't get used to as "normal"?
Just go throw the thing. What's the worst that could happen?
You should see my 1999 DX Archangel. I think it is has lost more plastic than it has kept.

They get longer and easier to control, too.
If hitting the basket is the worst thing that disc sees I'd consider that babying it.
From Timmy Gill's Discraft bio:
My favorite trick shot: I have a first run XS that is completely ruined. It is so understable that if I throw it hard it will do a full rotation. Why would I want a disc like this? For those situations when you are trapped and you don't have any room to get full arm motion. A quick snap of the wrist and this disc flies very far and saves a lot of pars. Great for overhead shots that need a unique flight. The reactions from the group are priceless as well.

I live in the city, so I practice putting on my terrace with stone tiles.
Other people I know use a garage or cellar with concrete floors.
You putter will be fine. Worry more about what you hit.
I also dented my SS Wizard the first time I drove with it, but it still flies like my other Wizards.
Have fun! It is only a disc!

When Chuck Norris punches it. That is the only time...ever...

Ray, that's not right. She can be too injured to make a sandwich provided she is still able to make a casserole.

I have a floppy bent voodoo and I love it. Flies the same everytime, dependable and reliable.

I also came in this thread to post: PRO. Those discs, maybe more than DX, just beat in to a point where they are so easily flippable you hit good shots with them often, but biff them and watch them fade hard the wrong direction. Not cool. I need to rely on what's in my bag. Agree with having a "hazard" disc. They are also strangely hard to lose.
Then again I've had probably 50 discs in my life and like 2 of them got to the point they were not really worthwhile.
