Default Re: Question for Dave D

There is a standard for stiffness based on how much a disc will bow based on a weight placed upon it.

That is, if a weight of X pounds is applied to the edge of a disc, the disc must bow to a certain degree. Can't remember if the degree of deformation is a percentage of diameter or some other standard.

A stiff disc will not bow very much. An Omega Supersoft will bow a lot.
