The first few winters I played it seemed like that Champion was too slick and I would have no chance. I went to plastics like DX, Pro, FLX, and so on. What killed that line of thinking was Latitude's Gold Line. I wanted to have premium plastic that I could throw year-round, not just for a particular season. I had a Gold Line Halo that had zero grip in the winter and it was beyond frustrating trying to hit big lines I knew I could hit in warmer/drier weather. Everything after that went to FLX .
Then something clicked a few years back, dry and warm hands (not hot because they can become sweaty) have the perfect grip and feel for translucent plastics. Moisture is easier to wipe off such hard plastics, making it quicker and easier to dry. Most other softer plastics actually spread and bead moisture instead of allowing the towel to soak it up or wipe it off. I carry a lot of towels with me and the sleeves on my hoodies have become rather ragged. To keep my hands dry, I have larger mittens with a handwarmer for warmth and a washcloth or a wad of papertowel to absorb snow or sweat.
