Thanks so much! Glad you liked it

Thanks Raz! Welcome to the community. Here's to you having a great season of disc golf!

No, the terms are the same, just reversed. A RH forehand will fade right, so overstable will help it go more right the entire flight. Understable RH forehand throw would fly more left before fading right.

The Innova star firebird! 9304 feels so good for long tight hyzers

MVP wave is my favorite disc. Slightly understable

They said what you typed but that's actually backwards- if the thrower can't throw "fast" enough, the discs will fade early or the entire flight. A slower speed disc or more understable disc could help.

@@AutobahnSHO thanks! Does this also mean that regardless of the direction the disc naturally fades, you can put more or less spin on the disc to get less or more fade, respectively?

@@elkellanzo1256 less spin will add fade, but it's tough to control the amount of spin and "speed" (Distance) at the same time. I don't think anyone tries to do that intentionally. For the most part, the more spin the better, and people will throw "slower" discs to get less fade (but also more turn).

@@AutobahnSHO thanks! That makes a lot of sense.

You are right, he contradicts himself. This is the closed captioning: "When you're starting out it's best to choose a disc with a lower speed rating say between 4 and 7 as these discs are easy to control and require less power for a straight flight. If a novice throws a high speed disc they might encounter some challenges due to their still developing techniques in arm speed. One common issue is that the disc will fade earlier and more drastically than intended. This happens because the disc isn't reaching the required speed for it to maintain a straight flight. As a result the disc will Veer to the left for a right-handed backhanded thrower or to the right for left-handed backhander throwers. As you practice and develop your Technique you'll notice your arm speed increasing you can then gradually move up to discs with higher speed ratings. A good rule of thumb is to pay attention to the flight of your disk, if it constantly Fades left the right-handed backhand throws or right for left-handed backhanded throwers earlier than intended it might be time to try a disc with a *higher speed* rating. That's why it's recommended if you're new to disc golf to start with lower speed discs which are easier to control and require less power." I'm gonna say he probably just mispoke at the end and meant to say "if you are fading left earlier and too drastically, try a lower speed disc".

Have you tried the River? Has pretty crazy glide

@EffortlessDiscGolf actually yes. I have a Retro River and an Opto River which I custom dyed myself, AND I played Winthrop (The USDGC course) January of 2022 and absolutely nailed the triple Mando on hole 7 with it! Love the River for dead straight shots as well as my Christine Jenkins Sidewinder.

Personally, I started with some really slow discs are later learned I was overthrowing them all.

Because 1-4 speed are usually just putters which aren’t used often for full flight throws. Most disc you will use to drive with start at 4-5 speed midranges and 6+ for drivers.
