FD1 and Explorer are both great options for that slot. When they're that close I typically try them both forehand to make the final decision

I thought about doing a forehand but my form is pretty shit so I don’t think it would do much good for the video 😂

The Explorer and FD1 look so identical when compered side by side I'm sure I couldn't tell them apart blindfolded.

Love the videos, watch most that come out! FYI - It looks like some hyzer shots are going out near flat from the camera perspective, and your flat shots are coming out with ~5-10 degree of Anny :)

Haha ya I have a naturally upright posture when I throw so I have to really exaggerate to get the angles I want. I haven’t been exaggerating enough lately. Preciate the support mate!

The major advantage of the Explorer is the myriad of plastics available right now, from Prime to Opto X you could literally fill all stabilities. I have 4 at the moment but bagging a Gold X (amazingly straight with solid finish) and a Recycled Im trying to beat into a hyzer flipper @300ft

@DiscGolf Justice I have found the forged instinct to be more stable than a brand new neo instinct! The royal rage has a similar flight to the forged one I think but I have only tossed it a few times since I got it in the x out box!

Well when comparing them to each other they would be more or less stable. They are all already considered over stable discs, so saying they are more or less stable than each other makes more sense if not it’s the exact same as saying they are more over stable or less over stable.

Athena was too unstable for me too I’ve landed on the grand plastic glory. Straighter flier than the numbers but won’t turn over on you

Жыл бұрын

Weird that the Athena is so flippy aye?

For clarity, on my part, when you say "very stable," I believe what you mean is that they are over stable. At least that is what the manufacturers describe them as. But, of course, it depends on launch velocity and spin. To me, a very stable disc would be more like a L64 River (7,7,-1,1) or a Discraft Passion (8,5,-1,1). I did this same comparison with a Teebird, Explorer, and an Athena and found them to, more or less, fly the same at my 47mph release velocity. My elevation is about 5000ft. I attributed the variances to weight of disc and my inconsistent form.

@@discgolfjustice The general definition of stability, as it refers to flight, is that if the axis of the flight vehicle/projectile is disturbed, it will naturally re-align its axis with the direction of flight. In other words, it will naturally weather-vane into the oncoming airflow. It doesn't fade or turn. A stable flight flies straight.
