Universal disc flight path chart
Browse a best-effort catalog of PDGA-approved molds and draw an illustrative flight path from manufacturer-published SPEED · GLIDE · TURN · FADE. Not a measured throw. PDGA approval is not a flight path.
Illustrative path from manufacturer flight numbers — not a measured throw.
Numbers vary by plastic, weight, wear, and thrower. Always check the stamp and the manufacturer page for the mold in your hand.

Illustrative path from manufacturer flight numbers — not a measured throw. Axis units are a teaching proxy, not feet or meters.
How this chart works
- Distance proxy from SPEED (boosted slightly by GLIDE): higher speed draws a longer path up the chart.
- Early turn from TURN: more negative turn bends the mid-flight to the right for a right-hand backhand (RHBH) flat release.
- Late fade from FADE: higher fade hooks the finish left (RHBH).
- Release toggle: hyzer biases the whole line left; anhyzer biases it right — a simple teaching offset, not a physics sim.
Stability buckets use TURN + FADE: understable ≤ −1, stable < 2, overstable ≥ 2. Type buckets use SPEED (putter ≤3, mid ≤5, fairway ≤8, else distance) when numbers exist; otherwise a rough rim-thickness hint from PDGA physical data may apply.
