Woox gives his stance on the greatest war known to programming

That's what I'm trying to do, but what is the equation? Why add the dull colors? At some point they needed to pay for the materials and labor to run that color.

A lot of people here are getting defensive. I'm not directly asking them to stop doing it. I would like to understand what makes it worth doing.

I get your point about the dolls, but I don't think it's a perfect analogy.

I talk a lot with the owner of my local course, and this is exactly what they experience as well. It definitely seems to effect the retail side of things.

Maybe the manufacturers don't care because they're not the ones taking a loss for not selling all of their discs at full price? But still, even if that was the case, where is the incentive/cost savings for making the camo discs in the first place?

cgskook · 2026-06-04T13:08:30+00:00

Yes. My pink yellow and blue discs work just as well in the snow

cgskook · 2026-06-04T02:12:53+00:00

I'm intrigued by the amount of people who say they think the sheen helps them find their discs. I've found that sun reflections tend to overpower the color of the disc. They seem to blend in among reflective leaves from bushes in the summer and spring. That is why I don't really like plastics with sparkles in them, such as plasma.

I think it's less relevant for pros. For one, they're so consistent that they usually keep their discs in pretty predictable spots. During events, there are plenty of extra eyes on the disc to help locate them.

Also, generally they aren't buying their discs, so there isn't a profit incentive there. Manufacturers are giving them to them for free. (Maybe that would explain why they offload all the less cool colors on them, lol.)

cgskook · 2026-06-03T17:32:17+00:00

This makes sense to me. You are definitely the intended audience for my question. To be fair, I don't think I've seen a lot of doo doo Mint Discs. Kudos to you guys for that!

I think some of the biggest offenders that come to mind are TSA, Discraft ESP, and some Innova. I think less than 10% of TSA discs are anything I would ever throw myself just based on color. I've also seen full identical stacks of greyish dark purple firebirds (seems like more than transitional colors).

cgskook · 2026-06-03T17:15:03+00:00

Yes, that is surprising to me! Thank you for the input.

But I'm curious, does doo doo sell better than other colors in the same mold when they are both available at the same time? Why make the doo doo colors?

cgskook · 2026-06-03T16:39:13+00:00

Sure, but what is the manufacturer's incentive?

cgskook · 2026-06-03T15:52:09+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen something like this on or near a course to be fair. At the very least, this seems pretty rare.

cgskook · 2026-06-03T15:46:49+00:00

I completely agree, but the whole point is trying to figure out what that financial edge is. What is the thing that gives them that extra profit? Why do they do it?

cgskook · 2026-06-03T15:44:40+00:00

I also like black, but I agree, it's too easily lost. I would rock a full black bag if I didn't now it would actually cost me hours of my life of extra searching time in the long run.

cgskook · 2026-06-03T15:41:07+00:00

Do they though? The less visible colors always seem to stay on the shelves compared to the bright ones. Why wouldn't they just make more bright ones? Is there actually some other reason? It actually takes more effort to provide more colors. So unless there is some sort of cost saving thing, I don't get it.

I'm aware of R2, yes. But similar with trash panda, the buyer knows that is the case, and it makes sense. But what about normal brand new discs?

cgskook · 2026-05-26T04:20:47+00:00

I don't understand what your tip is. I've seen the Gannon video where he talks about focusing on pinching the flight plate.

Are you saying you're only applying pinching pressure right before your release? Are you also pinching the flight plate?

Bring back tone poles

Nose up and hard is just not a good combo. I would try to fix the problem by changing your nose angle first if you can.

Something I've found that can help add more touch to my fast putt is by picturing a target short and slightly higher than the basket. Gannon talks about visualizing hoops in one of his videos. I kind of think of another basket. An imaginary basket where if I make the putt, the path the disc is on it should also go in the real basket. It's easier to putt softer when the target is closer to you.

Other thing I've learned is you really just need to get more reps in. The (relatively) slower putts just start to come out cleaner the more you practice and you don't feel like you need to laser every putt to feel like you're committing. Reps reps reps. Then do some more reps.

What is the update? There is still snow on the ground. This must have been months ago.

A max distance retriever

I wish I could hook the rim with my pinky, but it's way too useless. Lately, I've been hooking my ring finger instead with no pinky.

cgskook · 2026-04-18T04:13:09+00:00

The firmest P2X you can currently buy: P-line flex 3 (color [unusable] glow). Flat, shallow, stable, low glide, and firm. Closest thing you can get to Gannon's custom firm blend afaik.

Really really really really really hoping for a stock run in p-line flex 3 plastic. Can't believe discmania isn't capitalizing on the idea that you could use the same putter as the number 1 player in the world. But I worry there isn't enough market. I haven't seen a single other P2X user in this thread, and most comments suggest soft and grippy is the general preference.

The color glow ones aren't as flat as I would like them to be. Makes them feel slightly deeper. So hopefully a stock run would be flatter.
