I imagine that people would play with different plastics and different harnesses' to achieve the type of disk they want. And it would be different for different disk (i.e. putter or driver). There is Acrylic, Nylon, Acetal-Delrin, teflon, and polycarbonate (more than that, but prob not typical for disk golf). I would imagine any one of these would work fine, but the best thing to do is to reverse engineer. Take a disk and measure the diameter, thickness and take its weight then find the density. Then compare that to other plastics. Better yet, model the disk as exact as you can in solid works, then enter in different densities of plastics you can buy on the internet to get a weight, then compare that to a disk you own, voila!!
Nope. Its a Urethane.I understood from a thread hidden somewhere on this forum that the Champ/Z plastic was nylon
Scrambles said:"There are formulas that we use when, for example, shooting for a 4 (SuperSoft) and within in each class there is at least 1 polymer that is proprietary to that particular class. A Medium has a percentage of a talc-filled polypropylene (PP), a soft has a percentage of a regular PP, the SuperSoft has no PP and a Super-Stupid-Soft has no PP and a soft rubber thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) less than 70 A shore"
from this article, which you may find useful.. also this cool picture was included.
