Discraft vs. Innova vs. Whatever...

I proudly carry a mixed bag. A veritable "hodgepodge" of plastic, if you will. Now, I admit to being a tad curious about something. Why is it that every topic posted on this site soon turns into a argument about which brand of disc is better? I understand having a preference for a certain disc over a similar disc, but preferance for an entire brand? Honestly, I think it's stupid. Why choose to miss out on a company's entire offering of oppertunities all for the sake of meaningless loyalty?

"I won't throw (place brand here). Thier discs are crap!"

Really? Every single disc they make is crap? How do you know? Have you thrown every disc they've ever made? I find it very, VERY hard to believe that there isn't one single disc made by the 'other guys' that, if you threw it, you wouldn't like it. What is with this loyalist mentality that seems to have overtaken seemingly sane individuals? According to this logic, when I tee off with my Wraith and hole out with my Rattler, I should be immediately burned at the stake for heresy. What is it about one brand that is so superior to the others? Let's be real about it, folks. They all do the same thing. They make discs for our enjoyment. Why even make it an issue? These are not rhetorical questions, people. Someone, please tell me.

And, please, let's keep it civil...

what im finding is that Some discs are good....... not brands.

I heard the weirdest thing recently at a doubles tournament I was playing in. One guy had a great shot off of the tee and looked to his partner for some sort of recognition and the partner turned to him and said something to the effect of 'sorry man but I cant give your credit for it since you used a discraft'. I was standing there thinking "really?". I just cant understand it. Personally I have no favorite brand of disc and I wouldnt want to miss out on throwing anything and everything that may work well for me, and I certainly wouldnt not say great shot to my partner in a doubles tournament regardless of what they threw.
