| Dutchy Adjustments - now version 1.1
After initial testing of this puck, the characteristics of sliding and shooting needed minor refinements. The puck sliding on a semi-smooth bottom was being hampered by the outer material between the disc and the radius on the edge, due to the softness of the outer material. The puck also tended to have a "draw" built into the flight path of the puck...near the end of the flight it would veer to the right a bit. To help correct both of these non-favorable attributes, a 3 degree bevel was added from the end of the disc out to the large edge radius. This adjustment curbed both behaviors of the initial design puck. It is amazing how such a small movement in puck geometry can make a large effect on the characteristics of puck flight and sliding.
