As someone who has played for years, I came across a driver that flies the opposite of all my others. (Right backhand fades right and forehand fades left). Do y'all know what could cause this?
Just got into playing because of my nephews. My question for ANYONE: is there something different i should look at because i throw right hand but underhanded (like skipping stones). It feels like when i REALLY try to put power into a driver or mid-range it tends to get too much air and cut right hard. If i tone it down i can get fairly straight and out drive my nephews while using a mid-rage by a good 15-20 yards. Thank you to any advice. I just wanna have more fun with my brother and my nephews when i see them and not worry about losing their disks!
Thanks for your good explanation. Now it makes sense!
Appreciate this video; even as a lefty I learned a lot.
Ya'll got balls throwin over that big of a lake
Thanks Connar.
Thanks!
Very helpful video. Thanks you for explaining sgtf
Are y'all in Colorado?
I DID learn a little and thank you!!!
after this video I can undestand a lot of more things, thank you!!
0:33 "the speed is the width of the rim. And what you have to know about it… to get the right flight characteristics of the next three numbers you have to throw at that speed.
0:50 Speed is not how fast the disc flys.
1:00 12 speed are to fast for beginners.
Speed = width of rim????
Really???
How do they relate???
11 = 11mm rim and 2 = 2mm rim?? or is it inverse??
High speed turn
low speed fade
someday someone is going to explain what speed actually means.
Most flight charts show the disc doing the TURN during the time that it is traveling at SPEED and then when it slows down, it does the FADE. It does this for as long as the disc is in "Glide"
Some flight charts show the difference between a fast arm (pro) and a slow arm (beginner).
The slow arm picks up somewhere towards the end of the flight so all you get is the slow fade to the left and never see the turn.
Personally, I believe SPEED is a combination of the disc velocity and spin.
TURN has to be somehow related to how fast (speed) air is moving over the disc.
For instance, an airplane wing doesn't achieve loft until it gets to a certain speed.
At 40mph it will remain parked on the ground. At 120mph it starts to rise up off the ground.
The higher the velocity of a disc, the more drag it has. Maybe it's that drag the causes it to turn.
Most distance drivers are thin so maybe it takes more velocity to create the drag needed to turn it.
(I might be on to something here)
The problem is that there is no quantitative data showing what the speed number means in terms of mph.
Also, I've never seen any info about how manufacturers determine the flight characteristics of their discs.
wind tunnel testing? or purely calculated?
Maybe a test of your arm speed would be start with a speed 12 disc and then dial it down until the discs start flipping over. Then you will know what speed discs you should be using.
Super helpful! Thank you
Would you say that this is accurate: Turn is what the disc does while it’s still spinning from your throw, fade is what it does when it stops spinning from your force?
"fade ranges from 0 to 5 "
the Tilt: am I a joke to you?
yes Tilt, yes you are
Thanks Wayne and Garth!
Less go dope vid!
Great stuff
Im 13yrs old and i throw 100m with 13 5 – 1 2
This was really helpful!
