What the Animus flight numbers suggest
Speed 10.5 is a fast fairway driver rating. It needs a reasonably fast, clean throw before it flies as rated; slower throws turn less and fade sooner. Our catalog provider lists it as a distance driver; speed 10.5 is slower than the typical distance driver in our database (median speed 12).
Turn -0.5 and fade 2.5 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 2.5 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 4.5 is on the low side for a distance driver in our database. A low glide rating usually means a flight that drops sooner, which can make the disc easier to place on short shots. The rim is 2.1 cm wide (about 0.83 in), a typical width for a distance driver. A rim this wide usually calls for a firm power grip.
