More people need to learn this I can't tell u how many people I play with and see on social media who don't understand this concept
First time I’ve heard turn and fade described as ‘high speed/low speed’. Now I get it. Thank you.
It's nice to watch one of your videos, that don't feel like you're trying to sell me disc.
As always, love the content. Wish you would have addressed the 'bad behavior' a lot of content creators exhibit when talking about stability. More specifically, how they use it in the wrong context; "Get stable!" as the disc is flying with minimal movement (they are asking for fade/overstability) or the phrase "It's so stable!" referring to how overstable a disc is acting. Keep up the great work!
I've been playing 20 years and I'd recommend anyone who is just starting out to start with neutral discs or what you referred to in this video as "stable". Having 0,0 or -1,1 numbers are ideal when you are learning form and release points. It is said that understable discs are good to start with but they can be difficult to control when you aren't familiar with how wind effects flight, or controlling how much power you are putting into the disc. Overstable and understable discs could give you feedback that you don't understand yet. A mid-weight, neutral flyer like an Atom, Mako 3, and Valkyrie are a good 3 disc combo to start with to build confidence and have some reasonable success with your throws while you learn some techniques. These discs will decently hold different angles at beginner speeds. The more success you can have early on, the more likely you are to stick with it. Starting with the wrong discs could be frustratingly difficult.
The difference between beginner friendly and good for beginners
Good job. A must see for all relatively new players!
great, as always!
Was that a little sneak peak at our new disc going live on kickstarter tomorrow 👀
Must've been!
sooo... what goes furthest... a 3 speed, 3 glide, a 2 speed, 4 glide... or a 1 speed with 7 glide (when thrown correctly according to speed) :)
Do you think that glide can be explained as carry distance after the apex of the flight? What I have noticed with discs like firebirds, felons, etc is that they drop to the ground faster than a thunderbird once they pass the top of the "ARC" and start slowing down more.
I think of it in a few ways. Firstly, discs with more dome and rounded edges should generate more actual lift, like a frisbee, so they should actually stay in the air longer.
I also think of glide as enabling more left/right movement, so an overstable disc with glide should push further left than an overstable disc with no glide, at least in my experience. If there's no glide, an overstable disc usually dumps out very quickly and aggressively.
Understable discs with more glide might be able to ride that turn and keep pushing forward for more distance, but that's harder to quantify because understability can be really touchy.
Hello,
I'm quite new to discgolf.
Is it possible to make a video where you explain "flippy"?
I hear it so often, "That disc is soo flippy". But I can't find anywhere an explanation of this term.
That would be really helpful. Or maybe you can explain it here in the comments?:)
Great question, I think I can answer it by just connecting the term "Flippy" to this video. When you hear someone say "Flippy" they are referring to a disc that "flips over" which is another word for "turns over" or simply, a disc that gets "too much" turn.
If a disc is very understable, it will get a LOT of high speed turn, see the example in the video where the disc turns over, hits edge and rolls. That is a "flippy" disc, flippy and understable are interchangeable terms.
I saw your answer just now. Thank you so much for your response. :)
"Trying to grow the sport" yet shows a Berg
Mad for what, no one is telling you to buy one
