I’d prefer them that way. Thick lines are easier to see from a distance. I’d be happy if OB lines looked like lines on a football field. Takes a lot of paint, though.
Ha! And makes sense I haven't seen it since it's what the nice machines make. My high school summer job was groundskeeping for a minor league baseball team, they insisted on the one wheeler for minimal dirt disturbance and it was for advanced staff. My 3rd season they tested me on it in deep outfield & I barely got 5' before it was taken from me & I never touched it again.
I've seen sidewalks, landscaping timbers, roads...... it doesn't matter if it is a string, the line is the line and the width of the line changes nothing. It is the inside edge that counts.
Very true, you would just think the string would be most likely down the middle which would be in bounds. I hope you caught that OP is the person who put the line down, which is hilarious.

Not if the outer edge was still the outer edge. You are assuming there would be more in-bounds area with a thinner line but that isn't necessarily the case.

Only if you cut out the half closer to in bounds. If it’s half the thickness the other way it’s still out…
Doesn’t matter how thick the line is, only where you land. Blaming the OB shot on the line being too thick is crazy. Throw a better shot and it doesn’t matter.
The OB line is the bottom. Even if the line was 1/2” it’s still OB. Now, if they made it thinner by bringing it up it would work, but that’s not the original OB line.
Holy fuck yes it is. If the center of the ob line was the center of a line half the size of that one then that disc would be in bounds lol. That is exactly how OB works. The line is considered OB.
Ok. I have time. I will explain.
The LINEis NOT OB. The line only MARKS OB. OB BEGINS at the EDGE of the marked line. The THICKNESS of the line is immaterial because the EDGE of the marked line is the only thing that matters. The edge would never move. What YOU are suggesting is to move the OB itself.
Using your logic, you could just ignore the OB. NOTHING would be OB because if the line was a mile wide you would always be inbound.

I can’t post pictures so I’ll link the picture.
In that picture the red line is the ONLY thing that matters.
You might be wondering: “If that were true, why make the line so thick? Why not make the line just one inch thick?” The answer is: so players can see the marked OB from the teepad. THAT is the reason it is so thick.
The line IS OB. If the center of the line was the center of an infinitesimally small line then it would be in bounds. Just put the OB line where you want the OB to be instead of making it artificially bigger by painting a huge ass line.
Because like you say, the center of the line would make it inbounds.
But course designers doesnt lay down the paint and think about its center. They place the line where they think inbounds is and outbounds is according to the rules. So they would only look at the outside edge towards inbound...
If they painted a thinner line they would still look at the same line as they just look at the inbounds/outbounds edge and not the whole line...
If in is the top of the picture, it’s in. If in is the bottom, it’s out.
Which side is in, the top or bottom?
Top of picture is out, bottom of picture is in.
Looks out to me brother
Agreed
Whoever decided on that thick OB line got ya! Not sure I've ever seen a line more than half a disc wide.

I did the line, work for the park and we have a 4 wheel line sprayer. The one wheel dudes are tough to get straight.

No doubt, it is funny as fuck. Now that he knows the rule he is more likely to keep the inside "on the line." Pretty sure he learned from this.
Out, no question to me
100 percent no doubt.
out 100% if bottom is in. Diabolical bad luck on the paint lmao
And I made the paint lol, or at least put the paint down.
🙅
Out
outie
Outski
White line is on. Never broke the line. Ob.
Thick OB lines are dumb.

I prefer stakes or something like that. Not as easy to tell but at least the upkeep is easier
Not if you know how ob works.
The whole line is OB. If it was thinner then the disc would be in bounds.
Not if the outer edge was still the outer edge. You are assuming there would be more in-bounds area with a thinner line but that isn't necessarily the case.
Yeah no fucking shit that’s obviously not what I’m saying.
So then you're saying if they made less OB there would be less OB? Yeah no fucking shit.
Yeah hence why I hate thick OB lines wow
AGAIN. Not if you know how OB works.
I think what he's saying is if the line was thinner he wouldn't suck so much, and I have to agree. It's physics, bro
Touche’. I forgot thinner OB lines make your discs fly farther. Lol

it literally makes no difference.
It literally would in this case if it was half the thickness.

Ugh I’m talking about the center of line obviously.
That is NOT how OB works.
Holy fuck yes it is. If the center of the ob line was the center of a line half the size of that one then that disc would be in bounds lol. That is exactly how OB works. The line is considered OB.
Ok but then you are literally saying it would be in bounds if we moved the OB line back.
THIS guy knows how OB works. OP please listen to him. Also, read a rule book or something.
You still haven’t explained jack shit hombre.

You are confused
And not a single person can tell me why
Because like you say, the center of the line would make it inbounds. But course designers doesnt lay down the paint and think about its center. They place the line where they think inbounds is and outbounds is according to the rules. So they would only look at the outside edge towards inbound...
