Snrina '89 New disc line offers choice of flight paths By ED HEADRICK The Disc Golf Association, in cooperation with lnnova Champion Discs , has developed a line of almost identical discs based on the Stingray. The discs look the same, feel the same, but have different flight paths, indicated on the face of each disc. No more throwing guess work. These are the general flight paths that discs#1 through #Swill follow in a "no wind " condition. As a head wind picks up, or your throwing velocity increases , disc #1 will fly like disc #2 and so forth on down the line. As the wind increases to 10 to 15 mph, disc #1 will fly like disc #3 and from 15 to 20 mph like disc #4.1f wind is over 20 mph, orthe#1 disc wants to turn over to the right, the angle of flight will require a negative angle (Hyzer). All discs have a three part flight pattern. They are, launch to point "A", which represents the most rapid forward velocity loss of the flight and maximizes gyroscopic force . (In a proper throw , point "A" is where the disc starts to fly, as opposed to being primarily a projectile.) Point "A" to point "B " the flat gliding symmetrical part of the flight where all forces are in balance , and "B" to landing, when the gyroscopic velocity begins to deteriorate rapidly caused by a change in the center of lift relative to the best thrown flat. Velocity is very important as this disc caves in to center of rotation thus causing the tightening left hook typical of the left when it reaches the last 10 or 12 feet of flight. (This flight all flying discs (precessions). characteristic isn't normally noticed in power throws as the disc A high velocity throw wi II lengthen the distance between points usually hits the ground first.) Learn to approach by overthrowing "A " and "B", conversely a slow throw will shorten the distance the hole 10 to 15 feet. This will maximize the opportunity of a flat between "A" and "8". Down wind will shorten "A""B" because the straight throw to at least reach the hole, and in the event of a miss, relative velocity (air speed) is less. On a slow, no wind throw , disc leaves an easy 10 to 15 foot return putt. Remember, an approach #5 if thrown flat will fly flat and straight and is therefore an must be thrown beyond the hole to have a chance to go in. If the excellent putter or approach disc. As the head wind increases, head wind causes your #4 disc to turn over to the right, switch to disc #4 wi II become the putter and approach disc. #1 and #2 discs #3 (this will vary by the amount of spin you give the disc). Switch are good for left curves with #1 curving left sooner than #2 and #2 to a #5 down wind. Practice and experiment. sooner than #3, etc. Conversely, #5 is good for aright curve, but curves right sooner than #4 and #4 sooner than #3. Remember, harder or up wind throws affect the distance between "A" and "B" in curves as well as in straight throws SPECIAL GOLF OFFERI (conversely for soft or down wind throws) . A good way to learn about each disc is to play a few holes only using one disc. Resources As you become a more advanced player and learn to throw harder, you will notice your drives start to turn to the right (right For more information contact: handed) .
