10 Must-Have Beginner Discs

[Aim For The Chains]

low speed fade is part of any discs' flight-- while you can see it in the air or it hits the ground, the fade is still there and no matter what will always come back to where the least amount of air resisance is in place and with a extreme hyzer or vise-versa in the case of a roller those lines are exaggerated. the LSS still comes into play and given no ground to land a disc WILL fade back to the "left" thrown RHBH.

It's the spin that gives discs a tendency to fade as they slow down, which most do. As lonag as the disc is spinning that tendency still exists. This is why when discs turns over, they usually "fight back" ...some more than others.

It is possible for a disc's spin induced tendency to fade to be negated by certain physical characteristics and/or situations. Hence, while we may not be able to notice an observable fade, so to speak, the spin on the disc as it slows still creates the same force, which serves to limit how far the disc will continue to turn... however far it goes to the right (assuming RHBH), it would have gone at least a bit further right if not for the "fade."

So, not all discs necessarily fade visually, but that force is still present and acting on all spinning discs as they end their flight.

Thank you Bogey for that explanation. :thmbup:

I think it's the opposite of Bogey's explanation. High spin keeps a disc stable-understable during it's portion of flight because as the disc is spinning fast it slightly tilts the nose to flat and right wing down as it's slowing down its also losing spin revolutions and the right side can no longer be forced down and the wing starts lifting and thus the disc fades. Discs we throw naturally want to fade. It's the spin and nose angle that keeps it from fading.

You will see a lower spinning FH shot fade sooner or a high spin player keep discs straighter or turning longer. Lack of enough spin causes it to fade.

I shouldn't say every disc will always fade. Sure if you can make a disc barrel roll it won't. Any reasonable disc that we throw flat (not super nose down hill) will fade given enough air time.

I can dig it.

You can take any of these discs and put together a beginner bag. Now all these won't be in the bag at once just because they do fly very similar.

Lots of good combos out there. Lately I've lent out an Underworld, Tursas and any putter.

I forgot about those.

I just recently thrown both of these and man they were a blast to throw.
