I was doing field work about 15 yrs ago and shanked a putter (wizard) into the road.. a minivan came along and ran it over... I was so mad until I threw it again - it became my favorite disc for the next 10 yrs, it was straight as an arrow!
Missed a big one - buy used at your local brick-n-mortar!! I guess it depends on access to a good disc store, but most will have a used section. I've found some of my favorite discs this way, and I now make a point to sort through my local shop's used section for my favorite molds every time I go in. I've got a decent back up for all of my favorite molds in both new and used.
Yea, if I have a disc that I want to get a touch less stable, I'll leave it out in the sun for a week or two (this can change the color of the plastic and fade the stamp) but it definitely beats it in a touch. I especially do this with mvp molds which often have a higher degree of off-the-shelf over stability.
I like the dryer method best because I know I can do it in increments to get the perfect flight. However... The hot/cold method also seems like it might be able to achieve this.
I bend it with my hands, depending on wether I want it to be understandable or overstable, depends on which way I bend it. Makes my grip stronger in the process.
I'm a dryer guy hand over fist and since I leave my discs in my trunk 99% of the time, if they do get warped I automatically dryer them and then set them on the table. Usually. If I absolutely have to and there's a really bad warp I will actually lay it flight plate down. This is where there's some debate here, but I will put a bowl in the middle of it on while it's on a plate in order to match the dome that it otherwise would have
I jus had to do this exact thing. A week before a tournament, I lost my flippy-er Pharoah. Bought one in a slightly softer plastic and threw a few spike-hyzers on asphalt. It worked, and I used it for the tournament, but the edge was a lot more torn up and uncomfortable. Will try the dryer method with a more premium blend in the future.
A method I use is filling up the disc with boiling water from my electric kettle, let it sit for two minutes, then bend it like a taco for abit, after that let it sit flat on the counter as it cools down, maybe suction it down for ten seconds then release the pressure. Do that once or twice then try it out.
"where did you get that stamp, the toilet store?" 🤣. good stuff. I have heard a number of these over the years and I have yet to actually try them, it is cool to see that some of them actually have merit! I am in the camp of "don't throw/rely on super beat in stuff" - I'd rather be able to off-the-shelf replace things when I can. that is easier said than done, though, I definitely have a ton of seasoned things in my bag that I will be heartbroken when the time comes. ironically enough, one of my favorites, is a super beat in zeus.
I use a dryer on disc often, I ussually puy in several discs at once, no towels and runn the dryer for about 45 min on high. This makes MOST disc significantly more understable. I recently did this to a Fission Time Lapse and LOVE the results. This does NOT WORK well on soft Proton Plastic, I turned a MVP Vanish into the most stable disc I have ever held... I think it turned up the wing a bit. Great video, thanks!
use hot water. steaming hot from the tap. run steaming water over disc for several minutes, then bend the disk to get more dome. it keeps your edges good, and distorts most disks adequately the first soak around.😊
I actually think the mallet technique, or a hammer with cloth on the head, is just as realistic as any other. If you're residing in a house chances are there will be tools available. And not all houses have a smooth solid surface to throw a disc into. I only have a rough brick wall in the interior in my Baltimore rowhome.
If you want some consistency I would recommend cement mixer with rough stones sized from a few mm to about an inch and some water would probably do the job with least effort.
Placing the disc in the dryer and bending method has worked for me. I only did this on 2 discs because it didn’t feel genuine. Great informative and entertaining content as always on this channel! 👍
i did about 100 full power throws into the garage pavement with my thunderbird a while back and while it didnt gain any turn it just pushes farther before having the same awesome fade.
I usually just park em in my car but the dryer trick would be great for all those 12 speed destroyer clones my noodle arm cant throw...hope i can bring some discs back into rotation now! Thanks Greg!
I would’ve honestly never thought about beating in the disk like a baseball glove. But I have a couple in my bag that are way over stable. Guess I’m gonna have to try this out.
Spiking my discs a bunch into a piece of lumber has always worked for me, and the results are more predictable and can be done in increments. Gouging the rim and wing never sat right with me or I would have just used a tree. I may try the dryer method in the future. Thanks for the video!
A different dryer method that I heard was to throw disc in no heat and no other objects. The ridges in the dryer would work like trees. I have also heard of “tuning” the disc by taco bending it at 90 degree increments and that inverse taco style can increase stability. My guess is that tuning would be trying to alter wing height.
Would be interesting to see the exact science behind the stability for hot / cold and the dryer / flex. Break it down on a molecular level and how the elasticity you're creating effects the stability. To me, you're taking a Star plastic and breaking down the bonds to resemble more of a G-Star plastic.
One of my favorite very understabke discs was an old fairway that a friend of mine had that got run over by a city bus. It took the mild dome to board flat and made it extremely flippy! Made for great lines until i lost it!
I was acutally contemplating beating in a couple of new dsics, as i want to "mold minimalize" my bag :) so by beating some discs in i cxould skip the process a bit forward :)
I bend mine downwords with a close grip in a twisting motion (like ripping a paper) went like 15 laps on the disc then my destroyer was a roller disc, i tried different plastic of the same mold and that made a difference to, some did not change at all and some got reeeeealy beat in, try it!:)
Totally gonna try the dryer! Just throw in threre with my clothes Leopards, prepare to get fluffy 😂 Old method was to throw a bunch of thumbers to land on hard-packed ground Wound love to save myself the trouble. I'll comment again after laundry day
I try to buy flights i want/need. Cause I tend to loose a lot of discs. Especially the ones i actually throw for some reason. Then again, I would feel like a proper bigwig, hyzerflipping that timelapse hogging that anhyzer chop slot in my bag. Yes, i can see it allready; "Woow, nice s-curve. What disc was that, Grace?" - Cardmate-in-awe "Naah, Timelapse. Been doing some formwork recently" - Me-throbbing-with-bigdisc-energy
I tried adding some dome to it by placing it upside down over a pot of very hot water and putting a glass bottle on top of it. The dome was there, but unsurprisingly uneven and way too big, and it flew even worse then, so it has now become my on-the-wall disc. Lesson learned.
I disagree with the fundamental premise here that the outside edge of the rim is the primary factor for stability. I think it's actually the bottom edge of the rim. I came to this because I got some discs that had extra plastic at the mold release line around that bottom edge of the rim (Prodigy does this all the time), and they were super beefy. I variously ground (just rubbing on the tee pad or pavement) or shaved this edge off, and got em back to "normal" stability. Ground a bit more as a test and they went understable. I *think*, that normal discs beat in over time from sliding/skipping off the ground grinding down that bottom edge (rounding it off, or just making it thinner over all). Keep in mind, it's already well known that the distance from bottom edge to parting line is a strong indicator of stability (high parting line, overstable.. low parting line understable). Take a look at that bottom edge on the disc you ran over with the car. I'll bet it's squished down relative to a new disc. Also the hot/cold one might be melting that bottom edge slightly as it sits on a hot pan.
Oh, and I also have some light weight (150-153 gram) G-Star (soft plastic) Bosses that I use only for forehand hyzer approach shots over trees so they pretty much *only* land on their outside edge, which is now seriously torn up. Yet they are every bit as stable as they were on day one, and I attribute this to the fact that bottom edge of the rim is still pristine.
I do the heat and bend method. Ill hold the disc infrom of a space heater or let it sit on the sidewalk in the sun until the plastic is heated up and then bend it down word only. Never bend them up towards the stamp of the disc.
Just bend it around the edges without the dryer. Start at one point in the disc and bend it every inch around the disc until you get back to the same point. You can do it at the course and get it where you want it.
100 degrees? In a trunk? Here in the SW, we're having temps of 115+. In the trunk of a white car that could be 140. In the trunk of a black car that could be 160-170. Still, I like the methodology of the all the tests, and this was very informative. Great info.
I find the temperature related methods super interesting. I guess they make sense since they are affecting the bond between the plastic particles, but I didn't expect them to cause as much change in flight compared to physical wear on the rim. Also, if I ever saw your tent set up at a tournament, I would totally stop by to say how much I appreciate your channel and how in depth your testing and comparisons are. I straight up get excited every time I see a new one of your vids pop up.
it makes sense you are changing the lip angle, heating it up and making it more malleable makes the edge of the disc droop, instantly cooling (flash cooling) after locks that droop in. yes it will spring back some which is why multiple times is needed, it's very similar to the dryer and bending you are doing the same thing.
I'll play fetch with my dog if it's a premium plastic (champion/star). As long as he doesn't get an opportunity to sit and chew on the disc it will usually hold up well. This method also gives me an opportunity to do field work with the disc and not have to collect it after each throw.
@sixsideddiscs If....if someone were develop a tried and true system to "destabilize" a disc without damage to the diac, would there be a market for it?
I honestly see the hammer trick as the most realistic and effective. Those rubber mallets cost $5 and you can use any hard surface it doesn’t have to be an anvil. It seems to be work the fastest with the least amount of effort involved. 10/10 gonna try. All the others seem blah and will take more time.
@@Ishiisan Yep, I stack up tons of discs on top, plus some extra weight. But I havent figured out yet the best way to apply evenly pressure on the edge of the disc and push the wing up or down depending if I want the disc to be more or less overstable...
I think it would be cool to have Caleb throw like 5 with each disc and then do some sort of maths to get an average value, since he's already out there. Would definitely be more conclusive for determining things, since spin rates, release angle and all that can vary so much with a human thrower. You can tell he naturally throw the beat ones higher expecting that turn as well
All my discs get beat in when I decide to go out to my field (a literal parking lot) and then I eventually sand the roughness down. I've tried many of these techniques on a Big Z Buzzz...and that thing must be Clark Kent.
Would you be willing to do a first impressions video on Neptune or Stokely/Ching? It's a good time for both of them as Neptune just rereleased their premier driver the squid and Scott Stokely just unveiled his third mold and his acquisition of Ching. Also, both of them are run by very amicable people who i'm sure would be willing to be interviewed if you wanted to.
that was incredibly educational. I always assumed the beating in was sanding off the bottom edge, thus lowering the parting edge. You disproved that with almost every method.
Why is it so difficult to make a disc that flies like it's supposed to right out of the box? Like I can buy a DX Leopard and it turns super hard when I throw in, but a champion one goes straight with a fade at the end. Same flight numbers.....
So random but I have a cousin who looks and an acts just lile you, and he too drives a Honda pilot.. well he just sold it, but he did for the longest time.
Sooo i tried the oven/freezer method on my new neutron time lapse... after 3/4 cycles it has become boardflat and flies like a Tilt 😱 what did i do wrong ? Should i continue?
It is definitely not an exact science, we just shared our results. That being said, I'm guessing it was pretty domey to start and the change from dome to flat may have made it more OS by changing the wing shape and angle. If you wanted it to get more understable, I would probably suggest a different method. What temp was the oven on? Perhaps it was too hot? Our warm setting is only about 100-120 I think.
@@SixSidedDiscs 🤣 should have had some sort of reason in my mind, telling me that something wasnt quite right 🫣 Not sure, i will try to see if the rubber mallet and maybe the drier option can fix this 👐🏼 otherwise, hey i got my self a Tilt
Here's a tip for making a clash discs pepper flippy. Just bend the disc in half from various angles out of frustration. Don't forget to bend the wing downward as well. Does work for other discs too!
They fly differently. An understable disc won't fade as much as a beat in overstable one. The scuffs and dings on the side of the rim also add some magical properties to the flight. Trust us, it's just better
Unfortunately, what you need more than anything is yo know what your disc is going to do when you throw it. If crunch time, I would probably rather just throw the new one as much as possible to find out.
Ah that makes more sense! This is a good reminder for myself that our international audience has a wide variety of experiences that I haven't! Thanks for your comments!

Here in Nashville, just leave it in the dash of a car that’s parked outside in the summer heat 😂
I've left a Trance on my roof for a few weeks. Let's see what happens when I bother to retrieve it.

The easy part is to heat up the disc (dryer, oven or even boiling the disc); the hard part is to enforce the new shape you want while it cools down.

I think it would be cool to have Caleb throw like 5 with each disc and then do some sort of maths to get an average value, since he's already out there. Would definitely be more conclusive for determining things, since spin rates, release angle and all that can vary so much with a human thrower. You can tell he naturally throw the beat ones higher expecting that turn as well

Here's a tip for making a clash discs pepper flippy. Just bend the disc in half from various angles out of frustration. Don't forget to bend the wing downward as well. Does work for other discs too!
Mail it with no bubble wrap or cardboard backing and then have them return to the sender.
This is so true it hurts LOL
Worth noting is that doing this might make the disc illegal (rule 813.01).
A cycle in the dishwasher, it’ll probably remove the stamp but…..
I just throw discs. I enjoy buying new discs so i prefer to do research and buy discs that fly how i want out the bag.
I'm a dryer guy. I just throw in a pair of shoes, set it on high, and go to dinner. An hour or so later, it's done.
Shouldn't run your dryer if you're not home. Lots of fires start in the dryer.
Could you explain why people want to beat in a discs instead of buying a more understable mold? Whats the reason to beat it in?
They fly differently. An understable disc won't fade as much as a beat in overstable one. The scuffs and dings on the side of the rim also add some magical properties to the flight. Trust us, it's just better
My go to was always either throwing it back and forth in a gravel lot or throwing into a chain link fence, always seemed to get the job done.
Just slide it across concrete right side up
I'm still back in the Rock 3 I bought from you guys at last year's lws
I throw mine. Duh
I’d probably wrap it in a towel and do the car.
Unfortunately, what you need more than anything is yo know what your disc is going to do when you throw it. If crunch time, I would probably rather just throw the new one as much as possible to find out.
Talking shit to a disc is not something that I knew I needed in my life until I seen it. 10/10 trash talk.
I could not throw $20 piece of plastic in good conscience against the ground on porpoise
What about on dolphin?
@@leadboots72 finna man up & step to tee
Manatee
Dolphin's go hard hyzer!
it took me precisely 11 minutes to subscribe.. Zeus, "You Suck!" 😆
Just remove the flashing with light sanding as allowed by the PDGA. No need for anything else to be done.
Interesting. If I get a new (to me) disc, I simply learn how to throw it.
I wonder what your in-laws neighbors thought watching you throw it at the tree over and over.
Me throwing at the tree is not the weirdest thing going on over there LOL
I think it's more realistic that people have a hammer than a dryer.
You think Gen Z and Millennial have hammers and hang their clothes out to dry? Idk... speaking as a millennial I'm not sure sure lol
@@SixSidedDiscs Ok, maybe there are cultural differences between Finland and the USA
Ah that makes more sense! This is a good reminder for myself that our international audience has a wide variety of experiences that I haven't! Thanks for your comments!
