At speed 4, this is a midrange in the putt-and-approach range. It needs very little arm speed to fly as designed, so it stays predictable even for brand-new players. Its glide of 5 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 +1 gives it a moderate finish to the left as it slows.
Stability: Stable (rating 0). It flies predictably in light wind, though a strong headwind will still push it around like any neutral disc.
Backhand & forehand: It is versatile for both backhand and forehand, holding whatever line you release it on.
Skill level: Its low speed and stable flight make it forgiving for newer players still building arm speed.
