Choose something else if…
You are choosing your very first throwing disc.
What the numbers mean for your choice
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 Diamond or compare them side by side.
Try this on your next practice session
Compare it with a slower fairway at comfortable effort and keep track of the common landing area, not the best throw.
Buying advice is editorial interpretation of the sources. Personal notes are labeled separately; the practice exercise is a suggestion, not a reported test. Practice in a clear area away from people.
