Does cold/freezing weather affect a discs flight? Does it become more understable/stable/overstable in colder weather?

 

[Frank Delicious]

Cold air makes discs shorter supposedly. Something air particles.

 

[Star Shark]

Colder air is denser, so you'll bleed off alot more momentum plowing through it.

They are Sweedish and make very pretty discs.

Any thoughts for practice or training for a DGer on the DL? Can't play rounds, might be a able to field practice, but it's not looking good. Started hammer drills. Any other brilliant ideas, or should I just stay inside, drink beer and get fat(ter)? Got a basket, so I may be a able to putt a little, but that is the least of my game's problems.

Oh yeah, any form of exercise is pretty much out. Maybe stretching with no warm up would work.

i have a discmania S-PD and i think its pretty neato. is the PD freak the same thing or what?

the "Freak" will break in faster. they replace a lot of discs for people when they're in various stages of wear.

 

[mashnut]

The S line is basically innova's star plastic, and the P line is basically their pro plastic. P line PDs tend to have more glide, and start out less overstable, as well as breaking in quicker.

 

[medicinalfunk]

so the disc i have that is marked simply "Discmania PD" with very simple stampings is the same thing as the discmania PD's i see that have the word "Freak" included in their name except the freak beats in quicker?

like for instance, on the discmania website all there is for PD is "PD-Freak"

Yeah. Its just a different stamp. They have the generic stamp and the freak stamp.

perfect, thanks

The PD and Freak are the same disc, it just comes in 3 different plastics, some of which don't always have the 'freak' name or stamp on them.

Just the same as DX, Pro, Champ, Star all have different stamps for the same disc

Except that you generally have the same name on all of them. With the PD/Freak, the P lines had the freak stamp at first, and the S and C lines didn't say freak anywhere on them, they were just labeled as PDs. Now it seems like at least the S lines are getting the freak stamp too, so they may be changing that.

 

[Frank Delicious]

The S line PDs have been getting the freak stamp since the second run. There are S line PDs with both the freak and non-freak stamps. I have not seen any P PDs without the freak stamp though.

nothing showed up in the search so here it is:

why do some players carry a chair with them? i see that they use them for putting their bag on and sitting in, but that just seems like so much to carry.
