It's a very soft rubber. It will pop back into shape instantly. This is what Feldberg was throwing when he was on Conan that time.

How are disc flight ratings determined?
How are disc flight ratings determined?
pros and other highly skilled discers throw the discs and then discuss the characteristics of the disc. Once that is done, the disc is assigned flight rating.
ohhhhhhh....... thats a good one!what does dx stand for?

Don't some companies seek to create discs with specific flight rating and, because of their time in/experience with the sport, they can pretty easily figure out what a disc will fly like before it is even produced? Or at least get really close. (I've heard of Innova doing this)
what does dx stand for?
the question about the Gumbputt got me thinking:
what happens if one of your discs gets a little tacoed from a tree hit during a tournament? Are you allowed to bend it back into shape during the round? Does this count as 'disc modification'?
This has been debated quite a bit and the usually consensus is you are fine to bend it back into shape.
Ultimately, it'll come down to a call by the TD. The rule is intended to prevent gross modifications, such as adding or removing a significant amount of material.
Some changes will happen naturally from use, of course. Bending a disc is okay.
Rubbing a disc on the street to remove plastic is in more of a grey area.
