I've heard that you can put champion discs in bowling water and they will pop out, but what about DX

Anyone have success unwarping a DX discs and how did you do it?

Not sure but I think with the DX you would use badminton water.

what is badminton water?

I use darts water or shuffleboard water.

bocce man bocce

bwahhh-hahahahaha

i use blood curling water..

I just use standard household water at 100 C.

so if I jus boil some water and throw it in there and take it real quick, it should be ok?

Of leave it in there or what?

It should be okay, for an illegal disc

My head hurts from reading that.

just put it in the oven for about 25 minutes on 350 Fh, take it out of the oven then into the freezer,let it sit for about 45 minutes= perfect :D

but more brittle. . .

i dropped it in some bowling water for about 3 seconds and it came back to original form.

its gonna cool overnight and we shall see what its like in the AM.....

I said reglar old household water not bowling water. Just take reglar water to 100 degrees celcius. Your gonna crack that disc.

All you need is the power of love.

I put the disc in a large baking pan, put water in the disc and in the pan and bake at 175 degrees for awhile. It works great with Star plastic that is warped from getting crushed funny during shipping. Seems like it worked with DX but it has been awhile since I got a messed up DX disc.

Is "BOWLING" your disc legal?

Just take reglar water to 100 degrees celcius.



100 degrees celcius is boiling water.....I think.....

Only if you get a strike ! Spare's are not legal. :D

MTL... I feel bad for you man... I'll explain. In your original post, you made a reference to "bowling water" rather than "boiling water." The rest of this thread has been making fun of that typo. And yes, taking "reglar water" to 100 degrees celsius is boiling it at sea level. Not sure what "bowling water" does at 100 degrees celsius.

To answer your question, I've filled up a big mixing bowl with boiling water just to the point that, if I put a disc upside down into the bowl, it will be touching the disc (the rim of the disc sits nicely on the sides of the bowl, so you can tell if it's warped by seeing if it sits flushly against the sides). Then pour a little more boiling water over the disc (not enough to make it float, just enough to fill it up. Let it sit and let the water come back to room temp before removing the disc. Voila! No more warp.

I've also found a cheap way to make ching rocs. Just set a dx rock upside down on a perfectly flat, level surface and pour boiling water into it. Let it come back to room temperature, repeat if necessary. Voila! Ching roc with an Innova factory stamp.

oh now I get all the references - everything just went completely over my head.

but on a side note, it seemed to work.

Is this process PDGA approved?

802.01 -Discs Used in Play-
Players may not make post-production modification of discs which alter their original flight characteristics.

Very good point Jason.

The disc I did this process on was a putter which I intended to only use as a practice putter in my yard.

Now I wonder how many people break rules all the time and don't realize it, like this one. The sad part is when people know about rules, like this one, and then break them anyway.

quote the whole rule

C. Players may not make post-production modification of discs which alter their original flight characteristics. This rule does not forbid inevitable wear and tear from usage during play or the moderate sanding of discs to smooth molding imperfections or scrape marks. Discs excessively sanded or painted with a material of detectable thickness are illegal. See sections 802.01 D, E and F.



fixing a warped disc is returning it to original. the making ching rocs on the other hand should be illegal

Sorry for the drift, but what's a ching roc?

a ching roc is a dx roc that has a specific type of stamp(ching) that flattens the top.

Thus making it more overstable? Would that be the same as a "flat top" roc?

Does this process work on soft putters? My putters tend to warp from severe thumb pressure. I have some old ones that I would like to restore for practice.

I have done this several times for putters that got warped after sitting in a hot car during summers here in Colorado. I just put the putter upside down on a flat counter, pour boiling water until it fills the disc and then let it cool to room temp. Takes it right back to its original shape. I have seen it work with SS Omegas, Qmegas, DX Aviars, Soft Challengers, Soft UV Challengers, X Challengers, and even Crystal Challengers.

nanook

A ching anything is an innova disc with a full color stamp on it. This stamp does tend to flatten discs out. There are rocs out there that come out very flat but the only way you can be sure you are getting a flat roc (without actually holding it in your hand) is to buy a ching stamped roc.

But, it still doesn't fly like a flat-top BUZZZ

The original Ching rocs weren't full color stamps, but just a rather large stamp...or am I mistaken and my memory failing me?

your right it flies a lot better. :D

Applying this rule in the literal sense is wrong. If it is illegal to try and straighten a disc by softening it in water then letting it harden, then flexing discs, leaving them in your car to warp, and even tacoing one on a tree at full throttle is just as illegal.

Stupid rule if applied in those instances. Too vague.

Lots of the rules are vague and stupid. That is why the easy ones are ignored. It becomes like arguing with a fence post. OB give me a break. A line has no thickness. Please.
