Disc Matchmaker: Find Similar Discs for Your Bag

• Speed (1-14): This represents the disc’s potential distance, with higher numbers indicating a faster and potentially more wind-sensitive disc.
• Glide (1-7): This reflects a disc’s ability to maintain lift after release. Higher glide discs will “hang” in the air longer, offering more control for finesse shots.
• Turn (-4 to +4): This rating indicates the disc’s inherent tendency to turn left (negative numbers) or right (positive numbers) during its flight path (for right-handed backhand throws). A disc with a high turn rating will have a more understable profile, making it ideal for rollers or turning shots.
• Fade (0 to +5): This rating signifies the disc’s tendency to “fight back” at the end of its flight path, returning towards its original line. Higher fade ratings indicate a more stable disc that will resist turning over in windy conditions.

When you grasp the nuances of these flight ratings and their relationships you’ll be able to utilize the Disc Matchmaker tool in discovering discs with similar characteristics. For instance if you appreciated the fade of your disc (which we’ll name Disc X) you may want to focus on finding a disc with a comparable fade rating, in your search outcomes.
