Is there a way to estimate the flight rating for various discs at different speeds?
For example a Saint is 9 6 -1 2
So could it be similar to 8 6 0 3?
Or is the fade the fade since it is at the slower end so it might be more like 8 6 0 2?
Or is it just not designed to function at all at less than 9 speed?
And would you use lighter weight if you have trouble achieving the speed necessary to produce the flight characteristics?
I am currently planning to focus on a 168 g Saint (9 6 -1 2).
But I am wonder if my 156 g Jade would be a better choice for me (9 6 -2 2)
I abandoned the Jade because it tended to turnover too much. I thought I was developing better technique and more power - too much for Jade. But a good throw for me is anything over 250 ft. 300 ft is about my max but I do not hit that too often.
I used a 174 g River (7, 7, -1,1) for a while and got a few 300 ft throws with that. But I had a hard time getting it to fade controlably and sometimes it turned over into a roller when I tried to throw it hard.
I am sure some (okay probably all) of this is due to improper technique. I think I produce some anhyzer on my follow through. I am working on flat throws with flat follow through. But often when I follow through, I turn it into the ground.
Anyway, I digress. Not looking for technique advice. I want to figure that out for myself. Looking to understanding the relationship between speed and turn better.
Also, I kind of like the feel of that wide rims you find on the faster discs. Are there any discs with wide rims but slower speeds? Or are those mutually exclusive?
