Flight Numbers & Abbreviations

Flight Numbers

The best way to determine how a disc will fly is to have a point of reference. If you've thrown one of the discs on the chart, you'll be able to relate your experience to our disc ratings, and determine how our other discs fly. If you're unfamiliar with terms like speed, glide, turn and fade, we suggest you check out how our flight ratings system is designed.

Abbreviations

Most of our discs have the weight (in grams) and the disc mold abbreviation on the bottom center of the disc. This helps to identify discs, especially custom stamped discs. Some discs have a prefix signifying the type of plastic: Star Plastic may have an S or ★ in front of the model letters. Echo Star Plastic may have ES or E★ in front of the model letters. Star, Pro and R-Pro discs may have a / - or . between the plastic type (S, P or R) and the disc model abbreviation.
