Flight Performance by Skill Level
Griffon Flight Path for Newer Players
Beginners benefit most from the Griffon’s inherent understability. Light throws produce a gentle turn with almost no fade, allowing players with slower arm speeds to achieve straighter lines and longer flights than they typically can with stable midranges. Hyzer-flips are easy to learn, and the Griffon’s glide helps newer players develop smooth form without discouraging early fade-outs.
How the Griffon Flies for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players will find the Griffon extremely useful for shaping technical lines. It excels at controlled turnovers that hold without burning into the ground, and it can hyzer-flip to a straight, drifting flight even in tight fairways. Throwers with moderate power can consistently achieve long-turning, glidey flights that navigate wooded courses with precision.
Advanced Player Flight Expectations
Advanced arms will see a strong, reliable turn on full-power throws. The Griffon becomes a specialized shot-shaping tool—ideal for long turnovers, uphill turnover midrange shots, or late-turn lines that must finish flat. High-powered throwers should expect it to flip easily and may need to release it on hyzer to achieve controlled flight paths.
Forehand Applications With the Griffon
Forehand throwers will find the Griffon workable but touchy. Its understability suits smooth, low-torque forehands that require a slow turning flight or touch anhyzers. With too much wrist roll or torque, however, the disc will flip quickly. FH players who focus on angle control will appreciate it for shaping lines unavailable with stable or overstable mids.
