Disc Golf Flight Number Robot (Is Glide Real?)
The Disc Golf Flight Number Robot (Is Glide Real?) explores a question that has sparked debate among disc golf enthusiasts: is glide really a factor in flight numbers? The video delves into this topic with expert insight from experienced players and manufacturers. It's an examination of whether the actual mold design of a disc has little to do with its glide characteristics, which are more influenced by other factors such as fade and stability. Special mention is made to Ezra, who provided a nuke disc that showcases the difference between domed and flat-faced discs in terms of distance and flight behavior. The video also compares and contrasts different drivers, including the Buzz and Drone, to demonstrate how glide can impact performance. By examining these examples and exploring the factors that influence flight numbers, this video sheds light on a crucial aspect of disc golf and its effects on player strategy.
Watch expert players test the Disc Golf Flight Number Robot in a thrilling tournament. Improve your game by learning about accurate flight numbers.

okay my original point is glide should not exist as a i'm still on the glide should not exist in the flight numbers okay i'm still on it okay okay and and i'm on it because the the the actual mold of the disc has little to do with the glide more so than dome i think dome has more to do with the glide than the actual mo mold and i'll tell you why because i literally have been throwing these discs i've been throwing a lot of discs recently and a lot of like different ones and i've noticed that this that fly like two nukes that have very similar flight characteristics in the sense of like actually to the visible eye how they flip up and fly what the new the nuke that like ezra gave me this nuke goes so far so much further than this other nuke and the only difference between the two same same plastic all that the only difference between the two is the dome one's domi and one's flatter so that's where i think when you talk about glide the glide number is going to be the same for both those nukes however the glide is not the same so that's why i think you just get rid of the glide completely because really ultimately too a disc that is really really overstable that has a lot of fade a high fade number is going to have far less glide than a disc that doesn't have a lot of fade right so like no something like something like a buzz for example is going a lot more wide than a disc like drone that wants to just try to work itself out if you both if you throw them both flat again i'm going off of throwing this flat sure if you throw them both flat the buzz is going to travel further than the drone because it's trying to get to the ground but the buzz is just flying forward that was my original argument yeah but when it comes to like when it comes to uh especially distance drivers because you don't really ever see and this is interesting why don't you see as many like domi uh fairways you do not nearly as much though i've never like had like a pop top under uh well undertaker i've...
