Publisher Description: The most complete, comprehensive, and easy-to-use disc golf flight chart available The inFlight Guide is the only disc flight resource that you'll ever need. The inFlight Guide is the Rosetta Stone of flight charts. Disc flight data contained in the guide comes from a total of 19 different flight charts and rating systems with as many as six different sources being applied to any one disc. Using multiple data sources has a smoothing effect on a disc flight path and eliminates outlier values caused by unnecessary bias, flight testing extremes, and minor rating errors, creating the most reliable flight data available as the "Relative Stability Scale". The easy to understand inFlight disc flight numbers are universal and can be applied to all manufacturers, instead of relying on a separate scale for each company. How the inFlight Guide is Different The inFlight Guide uses the "Relative Stability Scale" to model the flight path of each disc. Unlike other flight charts that utilize an arbitrary numbering system to describe different aspects of a discs flight, the Relative Stability Scale shows flight characteristics relative to the expected minimum and maximum range of values and are displayed as a %. While certain things, such as glide, are important, the Relative Stability Scale simplifies the flight values and summarizes each disc based only on the following:
Where the Numbers Come From The values for the Relative Stability Scale come from numerous sources including manufacturer flight ratings and hands-on, experiential data based on the results of field testing by seasoned disc golfers. The values for each of the various data sources are then normalized, aggregated, and averaged to provide a comprehensive, relative picture of a discs expected flight path. Additional Features
