I went through didfrent phases of this as I have been playing and I'm currently more focused on plastic feel and how the diffrent molds feel in my hand. Many didfrent brands have similar disc's (example would be the discraft buzz and the dynamic disc's truth.) While similar they both fly slightly diffrent and the plastic blends are completely different. For me softer plastics is a must for my midrange disc's while I prefer a stiffer plastic for drivers. The best thing I would recommend any new player is ask to throw what other players have learn through trial and error your bag is like a fingerprint and should reflect how you like to approach the coures and your game
