[Innova] Innova: Star plastic observations

[Marmoset]

Hey Mark Ellis- a while ago you posted this:Every Rattler made in the last couple years is a Rubber Rattler but the each color is purposely tweaked to make the discs harder or softer. The hardness of the disc matters more to the feel of it than the flight. The harder ones are more domey and slippery. The softer ones are flatter and more grippy. You can probably tell by that description that I strongly prefer the softer ones. In the current run the Blue ones are superb.
Does Discraft do this for any other disc than the Rattler?
Is it feasible to do this with a midrange/driver or with a hotter seller like the Buzzzes?

Yes, they do, including the Buzzz. Disc runs are purposely tweaked. They are tweaked during runs if they aren't molding they way they are intended or just to make different characteristics. Not everyone likes their discs the same. Some like them softer or flatter or tackier or whatever. Molding a disc is part science, part art and part voodoo.

Every run of every disc is a little or a lot different from prior runs. The differences may be so small we can't notice them or obvious just by looking at them.

So apparently Discraft is more ambitious than I suspected.
They are tweaking the runs and then color coding the different versions. So in theory all reds should be____, all blues should be _________, etc. Mark response obviously didn't go into much detail about it. I hoped he would describe the differences and say whether all blue discs *regardless of mold or run* are supposed to be medium, all reds are firmer, all yellows are softer, etc. Also, when did they start doing this? Stuff like that, ya know.
It's a cool idea. Ambitious and cool.
I want to point out that they are actually color coding their tweaks. The pigment is not what is causing the differences. This is a relatively minor point but I think it is important to realize.
