What the Yan flight numbers suggest
Speed 3 is a putter rating. A disc this slow flies a short, controllable line and rewards a smooth release more than arm strength. Our catalog provider lists it as a midrange; speed 3 is slower than the typical midrange in our database (median speed 5).
Turn 0 and fade 0 describe a stable flight: a fairly straight line with a modest finish, the easiest shape to aim. The 0 turn means it is rated to hold its line at full speed rather than drifting, 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 midrange 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 1.1 cm wide (about 0.43 in), narrower than most midranges in our database. A rim this thin fits a fan grip or a putting grip.
