What the Gloom flight numbers suggest
Speed 2 is a putter rating. A disc this slow flies a short, controllable line and rewards a smooth release more than arm strength.
Turn -1 and fade 1 describe a stable flight: a fairly straight line with a modest finish, the easiest shape to aim. The -1 turn means it is rated to drift a little early in the flight when thrown at full speed, and the fade of 1 means a light finish as it slows down. Those directions are for a right-handed backhand; a forehand or a left-handed backhand mirrors them.
Glide 3 is typical for a putt and approach disc in our database. Glide is the rating that changes least between similar discs; plastic and weight matter more for how long it stays up. The rim is 1 cm wide (about 0.39 in), a typical width for a putt and approach disc. A rim this thin fits a fan grip or a putting grip.
