I don't think there is anything different about DD vs the other two that would justify your comment. Yes, I think you made it up. If they were that different it would be truly revolutionary.
Let me break it down further since it seems like it was hard to understand. When comparing different discs within the same "slots" in the lineup, I find DD discs, especially drivers, generally to feel more flat and shallow and therefore less substantial in my hand. This is even before looking at specs/stats, which make it apparent why this can be: there are varying combinations of height and rim depth. Based on Keller's comment:
Most if not all of their drivers are too shallow for my meat hook fingers.
it seems like I am not alone in feeling that DD drivers are shallow. Like if I were to hold a Convict and a Culverin, both are speed 9 and in similar spots on the Trilogy flight chart. But a Convict and Culverin do not feel the same, and it is a fact that they have different dimensions, so it makes sense that they do not feel the same. It isn't made up. They are demonstrably different even though they are both speed 9 drivers.
Let's look at another comparison: Trespass vs. Sword, sitting right next to each other on the Trilogy flight chart as speed 12 stable-slightly OS distance drivers. The two discs have different rim depths according to their specs, with the DD disc again being shallower. Wouldn't this account for a different feel?
How about putters? The Shield and Marshal are both 3/3/0/1. The Shield has more height, so this physical difference translates to a different feel in hand. Again, the DD disc feels shallower than a similar disc from one of the other companies.
Is this scientific across the board? No, but I never claimed that. But I have thrown a lot of Trilogy discs, and I have noticed that the DD discs feel shallower because of their combinations of height and rim depth. So that is the trend that I have perceived in my experience with Trilogy discs. And the FACTS of the different disc dimensions support my perception that was initially based on feel in hand.
Does this not make sense? How discs within the same category can feel different because they are physically different?
I play multiple musical instruments and can palm a basketball, so I have larger than average hands and fingers that are used to feeling differences. Combine that with the FACT that discs have different dimensions, and is it still so hard to believe that I found that the DD discs I tried have felt shallower?
Oh, and you are arguing with me over something I never said. Saying that there is some bizarre bias out there does not mean there are no people who have honestly tried the discs and not liked them.
That may be a part of it, but how big a part is it really?
So while there may be bias, how big of a part does bias actually play in people rating DD third out of the Trilogy?
I didn't say that you said there are no people who have tried the discs. You stated bias that has nothing to do with the product is part of the reason DD is rated lower. You did not state anything about people trying the product. Since you only stated bias as part of the reason, it begs the question: other than bias, what are other reasons why DD is rated lower? In response, I gave another part of the reason why people would rate DD lower (experiences with trying the product, holes in the product line.) I also acknowledged your point about bias, and then further asked (twice) how big a part does bias play. So if anything, you have dodged my question twice.
For the third time: DD is (currently) rated lower; how much of this can be attributed to bias vs. people trying the discs out and simply liking them less?
