I just got an email from Dynamic Discs titled 'New Flight Ratings - Big 2018 Revision'. They apparently have updated their flight ratings on a lot of their discs.
I haven't had much time to look, but it looks like discs went from "marketing numbers" to "real world numbers" in a lot of cases. The Stiletto is less stable, the Judge has more fade, and the Escape and the Thief flipped positions.
Here's the link they have in the email to the Lat64 page

NEW FLIGHT RATINGS
We have worked on revised flight ratings during this fall and we have now finalized them. This has been a joint effort for all three brands - Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64, and Westside Discs. We have received feedback that many of our flight ratings have not been accurate. There is a number of reasons for this (click here to read more).
For the future, this change and update is a positive thing as accurate information about our products is important. However, we can see that this might cause confusion in the short term with people buying a disc with new flight numbers and receiving a disc with different flight numbers on the hot stamp. As Latitude 64 has historically not included flight numbers on their stamp designs, this will not be an issue. This will create some minor issues with Dynamic Discs and Westside Discs. The discs themselves have not changed and will not fly any different. They will simply have the original flight numbers printed on them.
