Hey Dave. Woah. I just read all 65 pages of previous posts. I didn't realize you had already spoken extensively on the subject. Sorry about that. I too share the aforeposted respect of the originality of the design, though I must also agree with you about it detracting from the- what I will call the Spirit of the Sport- I'm reading M. Scott Peck right now...

Anyway, I agree, sorry to bring up old news.

So, new Question! I had thought that the more flexible flight plate behaved differently- especially in the first all important moments of the flight. My theory was that say you threw the disc along a perfectly level flight with good snap, but at the last moment your hand deviated a little, some turn one way or the other, that was not transferred perfectly evenly to the whole disc. Imagine a Wobbling Putt. Wouldn't a More Flexible Disc Reduce Wobble? Say the Blowfly versus the Hard Aviar. Or JK versus KC? Personally I like JK in Putters because I had thought it was more forgiving on my release, not just for the Grip. What are your thoughts?
