How do I know if my disk is Overstable or Understable?
The most effective way to tell if a disc is overstable or understable is to throw it. Try throwing the disc backhand and aiming straight. For right-handed players, an understable disc will turn to the right and an overstable disc will turn to the left. A stable disc will go straight.
When should you throw an Overstable disc?
When there is an obstacle, usually a tree or line of trees that a longer fairway bends around, then the most effective way to follow the bend of the fairway in one shot is with a distance driver because its overstable characteristics will allow it to fade around the corner better than any other disc.

What makes a disc Overstable?
With the same throw but with a disc made so that more air passes under it than over it, the right edge will go up due to the upward pressure on the disc’s nose. This makes a disc overstable.
Do heavier or lighter discs fly farther?
In general, lighter discs fly farther than heavier discs, but heavier discs may fly farther in a headwind due to their greater stability. A safe bet for the average player is to throw discs weighing around 160-165 grams for best distance.
How does disc weight affect flight?
A lighter disc will spin easier and can therefore have HSS for longer. High Speed Stability is the tendency for the disc to pull left (rhbh) early in the flight while speed and rotation are high. Generally, lighter discs tend to have lower high speed stability. But then again if it is heavier it will fall faster.
