The most complete, comprehensive, and easy-to-use disc golf flight
chart available
The inFlight Guide is the only disc flight resource that you'll
ever need. The inFlight Guide is the Rosetta Stone of flight
charts. Disc flight data contained in the guide comes from a total
of 19 different flight charts and rating systems with as many as
six different sources being applied to any one disc. Using multiple
data sources has a smoothing effect on a disc flight path and
eliminates outlier values caused by unnecessary bias, flight
testing extremes, and minor rating errors, creating the most
reliable flight data available as the Relative Stability Scale. The
easy to understand inFlight disc flight numbers are universal and
can be applied to all manufacturers, instead of relying on a
separate scale for each company.
How the inFlight Guide is Different
The inFlight Guide uses the Relative Stability Scale to model the
flight path of each disc. Unlike other flight charts that utilize
an arbitrary numbering system to describe different aspects of a
discs flight, the Relative Stability Scale shows flight
characteristics relative to the expected minimum and maximum range
of values and are displayed as a %. While certain things, such as
glide, are important, the Relative Stability Scale simplifies the
flight values and summarizes each disc based only on the following:
High-Speed Turn - High-Speed Turn occurs during the first part of
flight when the disc is traveling the fastest, with the most spin,
and is the amount to which a disc will turn to the right. The lower
the % (especially negative %), the greater the likelihood the disc
will bank right (and/or turn over) during the initial portion of
flight. Low-Speed Fade - As the disc begins to slow down near the
end of its flight and as the amount of spin decreases, the
Low-Speed Fade is the amount to which a disc will bank left. The
higher the %, the more the disc will hook left. Net Stability - Net
Stability takes into account the total effect of both High-Speed
Turn and Low-Speed Fade to provide the relative stability of a disc
and helps to demonstrate the probable left-to-right position of the
disc at the end of its flight. The discs with the highest % will be
the most overstable and the discs with the lowest % will be the
most understable, with varying levels of overstable, stable, and
understable in between. Distance - Expected average distance
achievable for a given disc, assuming the disc is thrown at the
appropriate arm speed and power level.
Where the Numbers Come From
The values for the Relative Stability Scale come from numerous
sources including manufacturer flight ratings and hands-on,
experiential data based on the results of field testing by seasoned
disc golfers. The values for each of the various data sources are
then normalized, aggregated, and averaged to provide a
comprehensive, relative picture of a discs expected flight path.
Additional Features
Flight charts and data for nearly 450 discs Includes data for
current and out-of-production discs PDGA specs for all PDGA
approved discs in the guide Flight information for discs by 34
manufacturers Grid-based chart to show not only the flight path and
distance, but where the disc will travel on the X-axis, relative to
its starting point Important documentation related to the
assumptions regarding flight values, the flight rating system, and
the factors that will affect disc flight and influence how the
flight charts are to be interpreted
