Have been trying to understand disc technology as once I understand how something works I am better able to understand how to use it. I am one of those guys who needs to know how something works in order to use it properly.
What I really want to know is what disc features contribute to different flight characteristics.
SPEED
GLIDE
TURN
FADE
Stability
I know about wind, disc weight and arm speed and am getting sick of technique advice when I simply am CURIOUS about why certain discs do what they do
I realize theres a relationship between stability and glide (not absolute though see Viper, ROC and Wolf) What's the secret ingedient here with the oddballs?
Basically what disc features contribute to different disc flights.
I know this will be boring to most (I apologize)and others will not be able to control themselves and will contribute technique and disc choice advice...(I forgive you) and others will attempt to Hi-Jack this thread into the landfill (I neither apologize nor forgive you) but understanding why discs do what they do has helped my game tremendously and I often marvel at old pros who can pick up a worn disc with no markings or clue what disc it is other than the shape and features and be able to tell me how it will fly.
Thanks in advance
