Re: HDPE

HDPE is the stuff that plastic milk gallons are made of. Imagine a bunch of those melted down and formed into a sheet. It's lightweight and relatively strong. Team 20 used HDPE on our 2013 shooter to give the frisbee a slick surface to move on while in contact with the shooter wheel.

The HDPE surface of the scoring zones will probably be comparable to the lunacy surface.
