So this got me thinking today (instead of working).....
When throwing a putter with a power grip the pressure point is closer to the edge of the disc. For wider rimed drivers the pressure point moves closer to the middle.
My question to all the physics discers out there is what effect does this have on the disc? My assumption is that while wider rimmed discs can stay spinning longer due to the increased mass on the outside of the disc, they are much harder to put spin on than a slower disc.
Another words if both discs where thrown exactly the same way, the slower disc would spin more than the faster disc.
Am I way off on this?
