Plastic Types of Disc Golf Discs

In addition to having disc golf discs for various purposes, also the plastic type used in manufacturing them has an effect on the features of the disc. Plastic features differ mostly in durability and grip. The right plastic type for each player depends on personal preferences and how the player holds the disc (grip type). The more surface area the grip type covers the more important a grippy plastic is. The most comfortable plastic type is easiest to find by testing it yourself. Plastics with good grip characteristics are often used in putters. The grippy plastic is not very durable, but on the other hand, you don’t need much durablity in short distance game. Drivers are typically made of durable plastic so that they will maintain their flight charasterics despite wear and tear. Drivers take typically heavier beating, because they’re thrown at faster speeds. As said, the right plastic type will be found by trying out different options.
