The four numerical values assigned to a specific disc golf driver model represent its anticipated flight characteristics. These values typically describe the disc’s speed, glide, turn, and fade. For example, values of 11, 5, -2, 2 indicate a fast, stable driver with a slight tendency to turn over initially and a reliable fade at the end of its flight. Understanding these metrics allows players to select discs tailored to their throwing power and desired shot shape.
These performance indicators are essential for disc selection and course management. They provide a standardized framework for comparing different models and predicting their behavior in various conditions. Having access to this data empowers players to make informed decisions, leading to improved accuracy and distance. The evolution of disc technology and the growing complexity of course design have made understanding these flight characteristics more crucial than ever.
