[Innova] The Innova Disc Real Armspeed Real Performance Riddle

[optidiscic]

(disclaimer...if you don't like my thread please ignore and go away)

I am wondering if anyone really knows Innova

Simple Question That I am wondering if anyone can answer

Every Disc if thrown at the proper speed will fly perfectly straight from release to the earth.

Assuming all weights are equal and all discs are brand new Star Plastic place these discs in the order of arm speed required to promote an absolute straight flight. No high speed turn and no meathook fade.


Beast
Boss
Destroyer
Eagle
Excalibur
Firebird
Katana
Leopard
Monster
Orc
Sidewinder
Tee Bird
Tee Rex
Valkyrie
Wraith

This is an exercise in knowledge and cut and paste skills

I am sure few will understand the question and many won'y care....I find it an interesting way to understand the full spectrum of discs out there.

I think armspeed is a really bad term as the speed of your arm should be a small contributing factor in the true big picture scheme of your throw.

 

[optidiscic]

Assume all are thrown flat and with equal power and snap

huh? I'm not dissing the thread, I just truly don't understand the question. Was there even a question? You said there was a question!

 

[EL-KABONG]

I like riddles...but is the TeeBird african or european?

 

[GLong]

but some (most) of those discs are designed to have high speed turn/low speed fade. Especially if new, I dont see how many of them could be thrown perfectly straight.

You guys must have missed this part:

Nah. I just want to understand...not dissing the thread or anything. I'm intrigued..just wanna know what exactly were doing heh.

All the same. Just drop them and they go straight to the ground.

go download joes flight chart he's already done this (see "power requirement).

Every Disc if thrown at the proper speed will fly perfectly straight from release to the earth.

your question assumes that all discs are the same and the only factor that makes them differ is arm speed....

the design of each disc determines it's propensity to fade, turnover, etc.... as a result... IF YOU THROW A FIREBIRD and a SIDEWINDER (both speed 10 discs) at their SUGGESTED speed rating aka arm speed) they will both fly completely different.... This is due to aerodynamics.

by definition, Innova has done your experiment and called the rating you seek ("SPEED").

optidisc... i would have thought you would know the answer to your question cold...

 

[sidewinding]

IF YOU THROW A FIREBIRD and a SIDEWINDER (both speed 10 discs) at their SUGGESTED speed rating aka arm speed) they will both fly completely different.... This is due to aerodynamics.

exactly...So a Firebird would be above a Sidewinder on the list because it would require a faster armspeed to get it to go straight.
