This particular part of the post is referring to the specific terms “low speed stability” and “high speed stability” as it relates to disc flight. When using those two specific terms (not just the word “stable” alone, which does mean exactly what you describe and what I describe earlier in the post), “low speed stability” does refer to how much the disc fades when it slows down.

I wish it was called “low speed overstability”, but it’s not so I have to deal with the predominant terminology that’s out there.

It seems to make more sense to say putters tend to be very low speed stable, while drivers like a Predator or Firebird aren’t very low speed stable at all, doesn’t it?

Hey Steve,

Hyzer and Anhyzer refer to the angle of the disc. They don’t actually refer to how that angle is achieved. Some do it with wrist. Some do it with arm. Some do it by the angle of their upper body. Some do it with all three.

Ideally, as long as you are controlling the nose angle of the disc (always keeping the disc flat to slightly nose down), it doesn’t really matter how you achieve the hyzer or anhyzer angle as long as you can do it with consistency.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Barry. I thought about weight as a factor, but the problem is that weight does not have a consistent impact on flight characteristics. There is a misconception that lower weight discs are more understable and that’s actually not true across the board. Two examples that I actually own are the air Enforcer and the air Trespass. Both of those discs are more overstable than their normal weight counterparts.

Lower weight discs are great for reducing arm fatigue and I’m a big fan of using them for that reason. They are also easier to get up to speed (which may account for their difference in flight more than the actual weight itself) for some players. I will be addressing weight in this series of articles for sure.

Thanks for the feedback, Barry, it’s appreciated!

Thanks Jared!
