PLH and Dome Guide
We measure Parting Line Height (PLH) and Dome on every disc so you know what you are actually getting, not just what the flight numbers say.
Parting Line Height (PLH)
The parting line is the seam around the middle of the rim.
- Higher number = higher PLH = more overstable
- Lower number = lower PLH = more understable
This is one of the most reliable ways to compare stability between discs of the same mold.
Dome
Dome is the height of the flight plate.
- Higher number = more dome
- Lower number = flatter top
Flatter discs usually feel faster and handle wind better.
More dome typically adds glide and carry.
Why we show a range
You will see:
- The measurement for the selected disc
- The full range for that run
The range gives the number context.
Example:
PLH 6 (range 4–6)
That means you are looking at the most overstable version from that batch.
This makes it easier to:
- Find true backups
- Compare multiple copies
- Dial in your stability exactly
Flight numbers describe the mold.
PLH and dome describe the individual disc.
The DD3 is the distance driver that has been optimized to bring massive glide and distance to those who have the power.
The DD3 is a stable to overstable distance driver that offers a ton of glide for players who are able to get this disc up to speed. The DD3 crushes down the fairway with enough stability to handle pro level power without turning over and enough glide to give the disc a full flight. The stability of the DD3 also makes it an excellent choice for anyone who is looking to get the most out of their forehands. Fans of beat in PD2’s will find a reliable replacement straight from the store with the DD3.
The DD3 is perfect for pro players who are looking to expand the limits of what a distance driver can do, or any player looking for a reliably stable driver in their bag.
Eagle McMahon says 'The DD3 reinvented the way I think about distance shots. Whether I’m throwing backhand or sidearm, the DD3 gives me confidence looking down the fairway. The mold offers an incredible culmination of speed, glide, and semi-overstable stability. It has helped me add significant range to my distance game without sacrificing control. I would recommend the DD3 to a wide range of skill levels since there are many different uses for the disc.'
The four numbers on a disc tell you the discs’s flight characteristics: speed, glide, turn, and fade.
Lower speed ratings typically translate to a disc being easier to throw, but may not go as far. Higher the speed, further they’ll fly, but they are more difficult to throw.
Glide tells you how much it wants to stay in the air.
Turn indicates how much it wants to turn to the right at high speeds. -4 will turn more than -1.
Fade tells you about the end of the flight. The higher the number, the stronger it will finish to the left.
