Choose it for
Faster turnover shots. Try it after you can already get useful flight from a slower turning fairway.
Choose something else if…
You are choosing your very first throwing disc.
What the Sidewinder flight numbers mean
The -3 turn suggests substantial high-speed movement when the throw supplies enough speed.

Before you buy
A slower turning fairway may fill the same need with less effort. Buy the faster disc only for a useful shot.
Read about the Latitude 64° Diamond or compare the Sidewinder and Diamond side by side.
Practice idea
Compare it with a slower fairway at comfortable effort and keep track of the common landing area, not the best throw.
