Firstly, apologies if this thread already exists...I was unable to find it.
I like to refer to the following disc flight chart
http://www.inboundsdiscgolf.com/content/?page_id=431 (I recommend using matrix view)
but I recently realized what appear to be a few flaws with it. First, the Force (pretty new) that I currently have is slightly less stable than a Destroyer (little less new). Second, the two WarSpears that I own are slightly overstable, not really understable (which the chart says). Gateway's description confirms my impression instead of the chart's.
I realize that flight characteristics will vary with runs, plastics, weights, wear, etc., but I'd like to think that some fairly accurate disc grouping chart exists where an average (fairly new) disc of a given mold can be compared to averages of other molds. Has anybody found a better (more up-to-date, more accurate) chart than the one I linked to?
For the purposes of this thread, I kind of want to disregard flight ratings as described by the disc manufacturers, because even though most manufacturers use a four numbered rating system, these ratings still don't necessarily seem consistent. For example, my Westside Sword, and Sorceror both appeared to be way more flippy than their ratings indicated they should be (probably in the same group as a protege, according to the chart). Also, I've had this impression confirmed by a few other experienced golfers.
