Plastic addiction versus skill level

I recognize that we are all plastic geeks here but how many of you find discussions of how well this or that disc will help your game some what misguided? Climo is a x-time world champ, but do you really believe its due to his disc selection? Cale can turn over a predator like no ones business, but that doesn't mean I can! These guys could beat me throwing 15 year old plastic and garbage can lids.

Nothing makes a disc fly better than the skill you put into it, whatever it be. And considering how much power you can use in a shot dictates its stability I also find general statements like "this is the best turn over disc" terribly misguided as well. Whats your take?

My Take? While it does boil down to the Indian not the Arrow...It can't be denied that as disc technology has increased/improved/expanded.....so has the average players ability....especially when it comes to driving distance.

I'm not one to jump on the new disc bandwagon either...to me, it's not how fast and far a disc will fly...it's about how long will it last...Reliability/Predictability. But hey, Big D is cool too!!!! ; ) ...just want to see if it's durable first.

Bottom line....(here's my staple response) "It's All Relative to Your Ability"

I agree that some people put too much into there discs rather then there own personal skill, but at the same time when I pick up a new disc and throw it in the same fashion as a similar disc (ie 2 different over stable drivers) there is a difference.

At the same time though just because I watch someone throw say a Nuke 450+ does not mean that I'm going to get the same results. Same goes for "turn over disc" or any other throw.

A disc will help but you still need your own arm to make the toss
