Flight Guide (Marshall Street)

Today I would like to go over the flight guide on Marshall Street Disc Golf.  Flight Guide.  The chart compares most of the disc made by all the major manufacturers of discs. The speed is rated from 3-14. The lower the speed, the slower the disc will go.  The speed 3 range is mostly putters and midranges.  Midranges continue up to speed five where they begin to blend with fairway drivers.  Fairway drives then go to speed 7 then get blended with distance drivers that go all the way up to speed 14.  The stability categories range from A-E or Overstable to Understable.  Overstable discs are more likely to fade and less likely to turn.  They represent A-B.  Stable discs have characteristics of both.  They range from low B to High D.  Understables are more likely to turn and less likely to fade they range all the way to E.  A combination of speed and stability is needed for the right throw.  The mapping makes it easy to find how each disc will fly relative to one another.
