Flight Chart by Skill Level

#3 Flyer Flight Path for Beginners

Beginners will find the #3 Flyer very forgiving. At low to moderate power it tends to flip up from a gentle hyzer and drift right (RHBH) without dumping hard at the end. This makes it a great first driver for learning flat releases, shaping straight lines, and getting extra distance compared to midranges.

Flight Path for Intermediate Players

Intermediate players can use the #3 Flyer as a hyzer-flip machine. Thrown with clean form, it pops up to flat, rides straight, then finishes with only a mild fade. When released flat or with a touch of anhyzer, it holds smooth turnover lines, especially in the lighter weights Lightning is known for.

Flight Numbers in the Hands of Advanced Golfers

Advanced throwers with higher power will see the #3 Flyer fly closer to its full 7 | 5 | -2 | 1 flight numbers, with pronounced turn and minimal fade. It becomes a situational disc for long drifting turnovers, touch shots in the woods, and standstill or low-power line shaping where a beefier fairway would fade out too early.

Forehand Flight Path with the #3 Flyer

For forehand players, the #3 Flyer’s understable nature means it requires a clean, touchy release. Lower-power forehands can use it for straight shots with a gentle finish, while higher-power flicks will see it turn quickly and hold that line. Many players will reserve it for touch utility forehands, rollers, or woods shots rather than power forehand drives.

Putthead Notes

Data from player reviews suggests the Lightning #3 Flyer shines for developing arms and anyone who loves hyzer-flips and long, gliding turnovers. In very light weights it can get quite flippy, so higher-power players may treat it as a specialty disc for woods work, tailwinds, and finesse lines rather than a primary fairway driver.
