What the Hybrid flight numbers suggest
Speed 7 is a fairway driver rating. A moderate arm speed reaches the rated flight; thrown too slowly, it fades earlier than the numbers suggest.
Turn -0.5 and fade 2 describe a stable flight: a fairly straight line with a modest finish, the easiest shape to aim. The -0.5 turn is close to neutral, with only a hint of early movement at full speed, and the fade of 2 means a clear finish as it slows down. Those directions are for a right-handed backhand; a forehand or a left-handed backhand mirrors them.
Glide 4 is typical for a fairway driver 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 1.7 cm wide (about 0.67 in), narrower than most fairway drivers in our database.
Try Discs, our catalog provider, lists the Hybrid as discontinued, so you may only find it used or in old stock. The ratings still help you understand a copy you already own and find a current disc that flies the same way.
