How do you tell if a disc is Overstable?

The most effective way to tell if a disc is overstable or understable is to throw it. Try throwing the disc backhand and aiming straight. For right-handed players, an understable disc will turn to the right and an overstable disc will turn to the left. A stable disc will go straight.

How does disc weight affect flight?

A lighter disc will spin easier and can therefore have HSS for longer. High Speed Stability is the tendency for the disc to pull left (rhbh) early in the flight while speed and rotation are high. Generally, lighter discs tend to have lower high speed stability. But then again if it is heavier it will fall faster.

What makes a disc Understable?

If a disc has more air above than below, that applies downward force to the the front (or “nose”) of the disc. If you have a disc made so that more air passes over it than under it so that the nose is exposed to more downward force, the right edge will go down. This turns the disc right and makes it understable.
