disc mold diagram?

[himynameismatt]

I heard a rumor about how two discs of totally different shape and flight are produced in a single mold out of slightly different materials. That may not be true and the materials in this case my differ significantly chemically although the end result seems similar. With such extreme variance i've witnessed i'll stop complaining about the variances in discs. It is way waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy more larger problem than you would believe. If the rumor about the same mold is true. The guy, who told me that said it shouldn't be passed around so i'm not naming disc names. I just want to say that differences in shape up to mold change levels are achievable with material changes. And because materials vary and manufacturers sometimes get very small batches of a material, it ain't a wonder that discs come out differently. Rather it is a wonder that without climate control so similar discs with so little variation can be achieved. That is a testament to the skills of the manufacturers. Live and learn. And it is daunting to think how much work needs to be input into making non changing discs. So those that are willing to go the extra mile in trying to do better than others in making consistent discs should be supported to pave way for a future with less disc variances from each manufacturer. If you want consistent discs.

Care to elaborate on that a little more? I know you can't name specific molds, but does it go as far as discs on opposite sides of the stability spectrum coming out of the same mold?

What, you mean like the Firebird'esque and the flippy Strikers? =)

Yeah Strikers and Visions come to mind. Also I have Cores that fly like Buzzzes and ones that fly like Fuses. I also have a Fuse that flies like a Roc (almost). It is kinda funny that discs can mold up so different like that and come from the same tooling.

Millimeters in plural in the total height of the disc for example. A radically flight altering change in its own right not to mention the other dimension and shape changes. That boggled my mind.
