Disc Golf Flight Ratings Explained
Most disc golf discs feature a four-number flight rating system that tells you how the disc is expected to fly. Here's what each number means:
1. Speed (1-14)
Speed measures how fast the disc must be thrown to perform properly. Higher speed discs are faster but harder to control. Lower speeds are better for beginners.
|
Speed |
Disc Type |
Example |
|
1-3 |
Putter |
Judge, P2 |
|
4-6 |
Midrange |
EMac Truth |
|
7-9 |
Fairway Driver |
River, FD |
|
10-14 |
Distance Driver |
Trespass, DD3 |
2. Glide (1-7)
Glide describes how long a disc stays in the air. Higher glide means more airtime and potential distance.
|
Glide |
Performance |
|
1-3 |
Low glide (fast drop) - more control |
|
4-5 |
Balanced glide |
|
6-7 |
Max glide - great for extra distance |
3. Turn (+1 to -5)
Turn indicates the disc’s tendency to turn right (for a right-hand backhand throw). More negative = more understable.
|
Turn |
Flight Behavior |
|
+1 |
Very overstable (resists turning) |
|
0 |
Stable (neutral flight) |
|
-1 to -3 |
Understable (turns right) |
|
-4 to -5 |
Very understable (rollers, big S-curves) |
4. Fade (0-5)
Fade measures how much the disc finishes left (for RHBH throws) at the end of flight. Higher fade = stronger hook.
|
Fade |
Finish Behavior |
|
0-1 |
Very straight finish |
|
2-3 |
Reliable fade |
|
4-5 |
Strong, hard hook |
Example
Disc: Lucid EMac Truth — 5 / 5 / 0 / 2
- Speed 5: Midrange speed
- Glide 5: Good airtime
- Turn 0: Neutral flight
- Fade 2: Reliable, soft finish left
