FierceTable said:The only benefit I see is the grip is the same for many of your discs. The way I see it, if you're carrying many discs in different stages of wear you're carrying different discs.
I think you aren't appreciating the benefit of having different discs that are the exact same shape as well. I feel like that adds to the value in a very important way: A consistent release. Some discs that compliment each other have very different feels to them. I loved Predators, but the bead was killing my releases, making them dirty as shit. The C-PD doesn't have a bead, and since I was already throwing PDs, switching to it for overstable duties was very easy/natural. I know it isn't the same disc, but it was very easy to switch to and get consistent throws from. Its the same reason I stopped throwing the Wasp. The bead didn't feel right. I just keep a relatively new Z Buzzz in my bag for wind and fades that I used to rely on my Wasp for.
Also, Lithicon is right in saying that mold minimalism keys on finding versatile molds. Practicing mold minimalism with R-Pro Bosses, Stingrays, and Polecats would be pretty pointless.
EDIT: JR, that was a mini-novel. I stopped reading when I realized there were more than two full paragraphs. Headed back to finish it now.
