I have always wondered if the dome vs flat debate was more of a generallity, proven physics, or mythical nonsense.
I haven't had too much expereince with this until I started throwing Avengers.
I had always heard that Dome = More stable characteristics, while flat would allow a disc to behave more on the understable side.
This theory/statement didnt hold wather with my Avengers. I had 3 Z's of diffrent weights, an ESP, and an X all with dome that threw more on a stable/undrestable path.
I then aquired a 150 class ESP and a 172 FLX, both of which were board flat. They both threw like Predators. They were super overstable meat hooks that I would throw my arm out on BH Anhyzer flex shots just to flit with 300'. While I could reach with 400' with a flat to mild anhizer with their domey counterparts.
Then it dawned on me, "Maybe flat understable disc will be more flippy!"
Wrong again. I got a Super flat FLX Nuke SS (unintentionally) that is as OS as a Nuke OS. It did get a touch straigher this summer, but its still major beef and more stable than My FLX Nuke.
So to sum it all up. I assume there could be one firm expectation, but the only ture way to know how a disc will behave is to just throw it. It would be nice if every shop had driving ranges like DN to allow customers to test before they purchase.
Too bad I have to order all my discs online :/
