I was looking back and the mold creation explosion of we the last 3/5 years as well as the more distant past and it got me thinking about where equipment in our sport is heading in the future.
25 years ago the Super Puppy, Midnight Flyer and a few other oddities like the Bullet were around and basically all that was available.
In the mid 90s we got great steps forward like the Roc, Aviar, and Viper.
The next decade brought us the Orc/Wraith/Destroyer/Boss progression and other instant classics like the Wizard and Buzzz.
And we have gotten to the point where 100s of amazing discs from more than a dozen companies giving players so many options it can make your head spin.
Not only can you now say, "I'd like a disc to fly like X" you can go as far to say in many cases," I'd like a disc that flies like X and feels like X in X type of plastic".
We even have funky niche discs that continue to sell even though they are bizarre. I'm looking at you Epic.
What will the next generation of discs bring?
Are inbedded lights and bells and whistles like the Tobu disc where we are heading?
Higher quality manufacturing or raw materials?
How many variations of the Roc will there be in 10 years?
What do you think the future of discs looks like?
