Fair enough. But noone is perfect. If you could make a few of those weak side hits with a different plastic, why wouldn't you?
Because you'd miss far more putts due to spit out, or slipping through the chains, than you'd ever save on the weak side, by switching to premium plastic.
Besides grip in the hand, grip in the chains, and price, there is another good reason to putt with base plastics:
Premium plastics tend to fly differently from their base model counterparts (and the other premium plastics that mold is run in), and (in my experience) tend to be more erratic run to run in terms of their stability, even at the same weight, plastic, and color. Putting with base plastics tends to produce truer, more consistent flights, especially between multiple copies of the same disc.
