That being said, I did a real good taco job on an R-Boss, but was able to reform the rim easily. And, although the flight plate still looked bad, the disc was as stable as new and is still flying fine. So, I wouldn't be so quick to think the disc you smashed is done yet. You might be able to bend it back in shape. Short sharp tweeks work best to reform the rim. You can actually overdo it by bending the nose up too far and produce an overstable driver.
Dave, do you think that's the plastic, or the disc? For example, if you ran a R-Pro Wraith, would they have a similar break in lifespan of a normal Pro Wraith?
