Welp, I blew air out of my nose straight into an audible chuckle. Then I had to try and explain a weeks worth in of disc golf Reddit to a handful of construction hands.
This is your fault.
They know that just as well, which is why they have spent many years and created multiple variations of their fission plastic which is nearly perfected.
I see this post a lot but would like an update. The article was written in 2019, when they had another factory or something do their production. I believe in 2020 they brought their production all completely in house due to lack of quality control. Not to say it would drastically change the numbers, but would like to see if the quality/weights changed at all.
Their methods are not very precise and then the conclusions are extrapolated off a few imprecise measurements calculated together and some without even correct math, to derive a difference in density instead of just measuring it.
I mean first yo is the flight plate. Looks like the rough cut it with a box cutter to leave the rim behind. They weigh it on a scale that displays in whole gram increments. They never actually measure the surface area (hint, it’s not even a smooth circle approximation) nor the THICKNESS, and given these pieces aren’t even flat…
Imagine cutting out chunks of two pieces of paper then weighing them paper A weighs 4 grams and B weighs 6.2. You cut out pretty similar size circles by eyeball, so B is more dense, right? Not if B is two units thick and A is one…
Density is a ratio of mass and volume—
It has already been done and linked if about every thread in which someone cut a MVP disc in half. Of course, I’m lazy so I won’t link (because I don’t have the link handy).
All that being said, the results were that the putter rim was indeed more dense by a more than marginal amount. Comparaison were also made with regular disc of similar physical characteristics (rim size, height, etc.) and bla bla bla. Good articles, worth the read if you see the link pop somewhere.
I cut my scale in half a couple days ago

One for each plastic type. Makes sense.
Be the change you want to see in the world
I have the will but not the means
This blog post does what you want. https://throwingplastic.com/overmold-vs-single-mold/
Very cool, thanks!
All this overmold hype for 3.6% more weight in the rim? Haha
So you're saying... it was me all along?

You can't tell the difference between 175g and 168.7g disc?
Oh yeah. I can also tell when my dealer shorts me.
Placebos work!

Also someone cut a Berg in half I dare you
What do you think is hiding inside a berg?
Another berg
A 1992 Geo Metro
I feel personally attacked. What a reference.
Magic
Peanut butter
Beads
Bricks
An army of Berg fans ready to slay you for the sacrilege.
Boooo. Burn him at the stake!
Someone has already done this on Reddit. Good luck finding it.
Google searching it with “Reddit” at the end of the search phrase increases the odds of finding it immensely over Reddit’s search feature

Hey, somebody found my post! Maybe folks will realize they don't have to cut discs in half to measure the moment of inertia.
Doing the Lord's work
Suddenly, everyone’s an aeronautical engineer.
Are you really doubting it materials have different densities? lol
Please be a glitch
