For players with faster arm speeds, the discs on the left of the flight chart are more suitable. The farther left you go on the chart, the better these discs will perform throwing into the wind. Overstable discs are designed to resist turning or flipping during flight. They have a tendency to fade at the end of their flight path, making them ideal for certain situations. When it comes to overstable discs, the key factor to consider is the fade rating. A higher fade rating indicates a stronger tendency for the disc to fade at the end of its flight. This fade can be advantageous in various scenarios, including: 1. Windy Conditions: Overstable discs excel in windy conditions due to their resistance to turning. They can cut through headwinds and maintain a stable flight path, allowing you to maintain control and accuracy. 2. Hyzer Shots: Hyzer shots involve releasing the disc at an angle that causes it to curve in the opposite direction. Overstable discs are perfect for executing hyzer shots as they naturally resist turning and maintain a predictable flight path. 3. Forehand Throws: Overstable discs are often favored by players who throw forehand shots. The natural fade of these discs helps compensate for the natural tendency of forehand throws to turn over, providing a reliable and consistent flight. 4. Skip Shots: Overstable discs are great for skip shots, where the disc is thrown to hit the ground and then skip or slide towards the target. The fade at the end of the flight helps the disc to skip and control its trajectory. It's important to note that overstable discs may require more power to achieve maximum distance compared to other disc types. However, their reliability and consistency make them a valuable addition to any disc golfer's bag. At the DGA Factory Store, we offer a wide range of high-quality overstable discs designed to provide dependable control, and consistent accuracy. Whether you're battling strong winds, executing precise hyzer shots, perfecting your forehand throws, or mastering skip shots, our overstable discs will give you the confidence and performance you need on the disc golf course. |
Discs on the right side of the flight chart requiring less power and will be easier to control. Players with lower arm speeds or new to the game will find these discs more enjoyable and will get more distance from these disc choices. An understable disc is a type of disc that is designed to have a natural tendency to turn to the right (for right-handed backhand throws) or to the left (for left-handed backhand throws) during its flight. This means that when thrown with the proper technique, an understable disc will curve in the opposite direction of the throwing hand. Understable discs are typically characterized by a lower stability rating, often indicated by a negative number. For example, a disc with a stability rating of -2 is considered more understable than a disc with a stability rating of -1. The negative number indicates the disc's tendency to turn during flight. Understable discs are best used for: 1.Maximizing distance: Understable discs are known for their ability to generate long-distance throws. When thrown with the right technique, these discs can achieve impressive flight paths, allowing players to cover more ground on the course. 2.Hyzer flips: An understable disc can be used for hyzer flip shots, where the disc is released on a hyzer angle but flips up and turns to the right (for right-handed backhand throws) or to the left (for left-handed backhand throws) during its flight. This shot is useful for navigating tight fairways or shaping shots around obstacles. 3. Roller shots: Understable discs are also commonly used for roller shots, where the disc is thrown at an angle and rolls along the ground before taking flight. This technique can be advantageous in certain situations, such as when players need to navigate through dense foliage or achieve a specific landing spot. It's important to note that understable discs require proper technique and control to fully harness their flight characteristics. Understable discs are a valuable tool in a disc golfer's arsenal. Their ability to turn during flight opens up new possibilities for distance, shot shaping, and navigating challenging course layouts. |
