Distance Driver · Overstable · Modeled from official flight numbers
The Discraft Ares is a speed 12 distance driver with glide 6, turn -1 and fade +2, for an estimated maximum distance of 138 m / 453 ft. With fade outweighing turn by 1 point, it is an overstable distance driver: it holds a straight-to-left line even when thrown with power, resisting the wind rather than turning over. The flight path above is modeled from its flight numbers using a calibration built from official manufacturer charts.
At speed 12, this is a distance driver in the distance range. It demands high arm speed; thrown slower than its rating it will fade out early rather than fly its full line. Its glide of 6 keeps it airborne and carrying with little effort. A turn of -1 means it shows a gentle rightward drift out of the hand, and a fade of +2 gives it a moderate finish to the left as it slows.
Stability: Overstable (rating +1). It holds its line in a headwind and resists turning over, making it a dependable wind fighter.
Backhand & forehand: The extra fade resists the turning force a forehand imparts, so it doubles as a reliable sidearm disc; on a backhand it finishes dependably to the left for a right-handed thrower.
Skill level: Its high speed and overstable finish need real power to fly properly, so it suits intermediate and advanced arms more than beginners.
Overstable. A turn of -1 and fade of +2 give it a stability of +1, so it finishes left and resists wind.
As a speed 12 distance driver, its estimated maximum distance is about 138 m (453 ft) thrown at its rated speed. Your real distance depends on arm speed and technique.
