GLIDE: A Misunderstood Flight Rating Number
Спорт
Glide is a very misunderstood flight rating number, and we often see a lot of disc golfers reaching for a disc with more glide, without fully understanding why they would want more, or less. Most disc golfers understand that glide will get you more distance, so why would you not want as much glide as possible? Why would anyone want less glide?
Well, today we are breaking down everything you need to know about glide, including, how you should go about choosing glide for your putters, midranges, fairway drivers and distance drivers!

Awesome explanation. Never really had a great grasp on this, now I feel like I understand it!

It’s such a good disc for low and long tunnel shots 👍
Excellent explanation! Love it!
Flat topped MVP Glitch (7 glide) has entered the chat. ;) But yes, agree with most everything else. If you're trying to hit a specific landing point then high glide discs offer less control.
I feel like it's worth putting glide in context with the rest of the numbers. A beginner could pick up a berg and a destroyer and end up throwing the berg farther because the destroyer's glide only takes effect when they can get higher spin speeds. Good explanation of glide by itself though. Thank you for the video.

Thanks Josh, appreciate the feedback! Yeah, we wouldn’t suggest buying a disc solely on its glide. All the other numbers are just as important, and will equally influence how a disc flies 👍
Cool vid!
I put with the Keystone and really like it. I’m not sure if the extra glide makes a difference from short distances, or if it’s just in my head. I mostly love the feel in my hands of the Keystone. I do enjoy the Reko and Berg a lot for my upshots or longer puts. I’m fairly new to the game and still figuring things out. Your videos have been super helpful!

Glide seems to go hand in hand with stability with a few exceptions. Some of those I think are misnumbered, like the Valk. No way it's only a 4. Innova's own description is "The Valkyrie is a turnover distance driver with great glide" lol . The Wolf may be a true exception, but I have never thrown one.

Exactly, you can almost tell glide by stability. It sometimes feels like a redundant flight number, honestly.

Yeah I would say the Valkyrie has a 6 glide, personally. The ones I've thrown at least. But I wouldn't object to a 5 glide. I disagree with 4 glide.

It’s not actually. An Overstable destroyer still has a lot of glide compared to a disc that doesn’t. However, most fairway and distance drivers almost always have glides of 5-7. It’s really only the putters and midranges that vary greatly

Its more of a rhetorical question because it really is the wing that determines the "glide" or "loft" of a disc. Domed discs often get that way because of the cooling process and therefore affect the shape of the wing creating more loft. It's just one of those perpetual myths that gets recycled over and over in our game. @@JustDisc
