What the Nv Wa flight numbers suggest
Speed 8 is a fairway driver rating. A moderate arm speed reaches the rated flight; thrown too slowly, it fades earlier than the numbers suggest.
Turn -1.5 and fade 0 describe a stable flight: a fairly straight line with a modest finish, the easiest shape to aim. The -1.5 turn means it is rated to drift a little early in the flight when thrown at full speed, and the fade of 0 means little or no rated hook at the end. Those directions are for a right-handed backhand; a forehand or a left-handed backhand mirrors them.
Glide 6 is on the high side for a fairway driver in our database. A high glide rating usually means the disc stays up longer for the same throw, which adds distance but can carry past a tight landing zone. The rim is 1.7 cm wide (about 0.67 in), narrower than most fairway drivers in our database.
