Do Understable discs fly farther?

Understable discs go farther than overstable discs of a similar speed, so an understable mid can encroach on some fairway drivers, and have zero fade.

When should you throw an Understable disc?

Understable discs can be utilized for long panning anhyzer shots that drift from left-to-right the entire flight path. They are great for hyzer flip shots, where you throw the disc on a hyzer release angle. When done right, it will flip up to flat and fly really far before fading softly at the end.

What are Understable discs good for?

Can you make a disc more stable?

The only other thing you can do to a disc really that may impact the flight for additional stability would be to add or remove dome on a disc. Some molds respond better to this than others and there are many threads on here covering the topic. Generally more dome = more "overstable" or more low speed fade really.

How do Understable discs fly?

An understable disc flies with the opposite characteristics than an overstable disc. It has a tendency to turn to the right while the disc is at its highest speed.

What is PLH disc?

So then, what exactly is Parting Line Height(PLH)?

The Parting Line is the point on the nose(on the wing) of the disc where excess plastic(called flashing) leaks out of the mold during production. Most of this excess is eventually trimmed away so that it isn't uncomfortable to hold the disc.

Is my disc Overstable or Understable?

Turn: Turn is a measurement of how much lift the disc generates. You will generally see numbers between 1 and -4 for turn with 1 being a very overstable disc and -4 being very understable. When the disc generates an excess of lift the disc will flip up the opposite to how it naturally wants to fade.

Is the Sidewinder an Understable disc?

Turn: -3.0. Fade: 1.0. Primary Use: Control Driver. Stability: Understable.
