DISCRAFT STABILITY RATING

The stability rating discraft uses for their discs refers to it's left or right track during flight. A disc that flies straight when thrown flat and with enough spin has a 0 stability rating. The numbers 1 to 3 indicate an "overstable" disc that will pull or turn  to the left, with 1 being less turn and three being a hard turn. The numbers -1 to -3 indicate just the opposite or a disc that turns to the right with -3 being the most turn. All stability ratings are for a right handed backhand throw at average flight speed in zero to light wind conditions.

For higher wind conditions choose an overstable disc, because against the wind a disc becomes far less overstable. The more wind, the more overstable disc you should take.

The more spin you give, the more time the disc takes to turn or fade.

Inova uses a different system for the stability of their discs. For this information, click to an innova disc, and click on "what does this mean" below it.

OTHER WORDS USED IN DISCGOLF
Anhyzer or Annie
A throw with the far part of the disc (the side which you are not holding) tilted slightly upwards. Throwing this way will make an understable disc turn over and roll, while an overstable disc will come back during flight, or even fall left at the end (which will make the flight pattern an S-curve). In Ultimate frisbee ths throw is called an outside throw.
Hyzer
A throw with the far part of the disc (the side which you are not holding) tilted slightly downwards. Throwing this way will make an understable disc go flat, while an overstable disc will tilt further and bank left even harder. In Ultimate frisbee this throw is called an inside throw.

A hyzer shot can be used to go around trees or other obstacles. Giving the disc a lot of hight will ensure that the disc falls more to the left.

Overstable disc
A disc that has the tendency to bank to the left during flight, thrown by a right handed backhand.
