What the numbers say

  • Speed 12. A fast disc: it takes a strong arm to get it up to speed.
  • Glide 5. Average glide.
  • Turn −0.5. Some turn: it drifts right in the middle of the flight before it fades.
  • Fade 2. Medium fade: it finishes with a clear curve left.

Put together, the numbers read as stable to overstable. Turn is shown as a negative number, so −3 turns more than −1, and a higher fade finishes harder to the left for a right-handed backhand. A left-handed thrower sees the mirror image.
