I realize disc flattening is against the rules but why? If a disc is meant to be flat and comes out domey, IMO the disc is flawed. We, the consumer, should have the right to fix this problem by flattening the disc to create a comfortable grip. From experience flattening can change the stability of a mold but it is usually very little and can be chalked up to the disc breaking in.
If I can sand the flashing off a disc (manufacturers defect) why can I not flatten it? Perhaps this rule was put into place when DX plastic was promenent and the PDGA feared people tuning their discs?
Doesn't lat64 flatten their discs after removing them from the mold? Is this not what was done to the Flat top Gators just released?
I hate relating this to ball golf, but to me this is much like buying a driver and having it regripped and rebalanced.
For those of you against disc flattening, am I missing something? What are the disadvantages of allowing players to flatten their discs?
