Disc Golf Information: How Disc Weight Affects Hi-Speed Distance Drivers

I am not an aerodynamicist, but I did stay at a holiday inn last week. Actually the flattest flying brand new Spirit I have thrown so far was a 185 S-plastic Spirit.

2 main factors effect a discs over stability when they begin to loose revolutions and velocity. Assuming you threw the disc with proper technique, trajectory and angle in relation to YOUR revolutions and velocity ( hard enough to get on a flat flying plane for a long time enough to get forward penetration)

1) The main one; is deflection angles of the wing.

No matter what weight the disc is if there is more angle( concave radius) on the wing than the dome on the flight plate( anything above the parting line) it will begin to fade left as soon as the velocity begins to decrease.
example a Sabre has less or close to equal angle on the wing than on the dome which is why it is one of the best Gliding and landing discs on the market.
The speed Demon has a very long and fairly concaved wing which is a lot more angle( resistance) than the flatness of the top.( that’s why they cut back so hard even before declaration!)

2) The 2nd factor is gyroscopic weight distribution or ration of weight between flight plate and rim.

In the 185g Spirit I flew dead straight right out of the hopper, a lot of plastic got pushed into the flight plate making the ration of weight from rim to flight plate lean more towards the flight plate than in the 175 gram ones we ran after we got the profile of injection lined out.
The 175 and 185 were made from the same weighted batch of plastic, just pushed around differently by Temperature, Pressure and Speed!
Being that the Speed Demons and Spirits have the greatest difference of ratio between flight plate and rim( in a 175 gram Spirit or SD the ration would be rim= 120 and flight plate 55) This along with the ow overall height and sharpness on the nose is why our disc is the fastest on the market. Besides the Epic our 2 High Speed Drivers have the MOST gyroscopic weight distribution which allows it to SPIN FASTER AND LONGER.

Check out any competitive YO-YO or ask someone who competes about revolutionary designs in the past few years! Just like the angles of wing deflection ,the close in balance  the rim to flight plate ration is, the straighter the disc will fly on decelleration. Back to the reason why the Sabre flies so straight, the ration between rim to flight plate in a 175 gram Sabre is about 95=rim to 80= flight plate.
