Tuesday Tips: Disc Golf Fundamentals Quiz

What are the three main flight paths a disc can take?

• Up, Down, Straight

• Left, Right, Center

• Fast, Medium, Slow

• Hyzer, Straight, Anhyzer

What does disc stability refer to?

• The weight of the disc

• The color of the disc

• The size of the disc

• The spectrum from overstable to understable

What is required to achieve an overstable disc's desired flight path?

• More power and arm speed

• Using a lighter disc

• Throwing the disc upside down

• Less power and arm speed

What does the angle of release refer to?

• The angle at which the disc lands

• The angle of the disc as it is coming out of hand during your throw

• The disc's color angle in sunlight

• The angle of the sun during play

Which disc is better for newer players?

• Heavy discs

• Understable discs

• Overstable discs

• Neutral discs

What is a hyzer line?

• A flight path that turns right for a right-handed backhand player

• A flight path that turns left for a right-handed backhand player

• A flight path that goes directly upwards

• A straight flight path

What combination can yield a straight flight path?

• An understable disc thrown on hyzer

• A neutral disc thrown flat

• A neutral disc thrown on hyzer

• An overstable disc thrown flat

What is the equation mentioned for determining the flight path?

• Stability + Angle of Release = Flight Path

• Power + Speed = Distance

• Disc Weight + Wind Speed = Stability

• Arm Speed + Disc Size = Accuracy

What does an understable disc have a propensity to do?

• Fade left quickly

• Turn more easily

• Fly in a straight line without turning

• Resist wind effectively

Why might a player choose a neutral disc?

• Because it is the most expensive type

• Because it's easier to find in stores

• Because it requires less power

• Because it will take the angle you put it on
