Glide is essentially a measure of lift, which is a term that comes from aerodynamics and describes the force acting upon the disc perpendicular to it’s direction of flight. Together, we’ll examine all of the factors that effect glide and figure out how to master it for better throws.
Speed is the first number in the traditional flight rating system, highlighted above on an Innova Destroyer. Speed can range in value from 1 to 15, and generally is correlated to the Rim Width of the disc: Discs with wide rims and a “sharper” profile will typically have higher Speed values, while discs with narrower…
Disc manufacturers produce a multitude of discs with various flight patterns and characteristics. But with all of these manufacturers and types of discs, where do you start?
