Vibram Launch Flight Chart

The Vibram Launch is a neutral-stable midrange built from Vibram’s grippy X-Link rubber, with flight numbers around 5 | 5 | -1 | 2. It’s designed for straight, workable flight paths with tons of glide and a gentle, reliable fade at the end. Reviewers describe it as a confidence-building mid that can handle a little wind, hold lines at moderate power, and cover surprising distance for a midrange before settling softly near the target.

Vibram Launch Flight Path by Skill Level

Launch Flight Path for Developing & Beginner Players

For newer players and slower arms, the Vibram Launch flies very straight with a mild finish. With smooth RHBH throws, expect a neutral flight path that tracks forward, shows just a touch of turn, and then finishes with a soft, predictable fade rather than dumping hard. The high glide (5) helps beginners get midrange distance without having to overpower the disc, and the rubber construction gives extra grip for players still working on clean releases.

Flight Chart Insights for Intermediate Golfers

Intermediate players will see the Launch’s flight chart line up closely with the posted flight numbers. Thrown flat, it typically shows a gentle high-speed turn (-1) that straightens out, then a light fade that keeps it on line rather than yanking it left for RHBH. Put it on a small hyzer and the Launch will flip to flat and push straight down the fairway; give it a bit of anhyzer and it will hold the turn without burning into the ground. This makes it a very workable midrange for shaping lines in the woods.

Flight Numbers for Advanced Players & Power Arms

Advanced players and power throwers can lean on the Launch as a touchy, line-holding mid. With extra power, the -1 turn becomes more noticeable, especially in tailwinds, so the disc can be used for longer turnovers and hyzer-flip lasers that stay in the air for a long time thanks to the 5 glide. Despite the glide, the mild fade (2) keeps it from drifting endlessly; it tends to finish on a controlled, forward-penetrating line rather than a hard hook. For many higher-skill players, the Launch fills the “workable straight mid” slot rather than the overstable utility role.

Forehand Lines, Standstills, and Touch Approaches

While the Vibram Launch isn’t a brute-force forehand mid, its rubber grip and neutral flight path make it useful for touch forehands and standstill shots. With clean, low-power forehands, it tracks straight with a gentle finish and doesn’t skip much when it lands, which is ideal for technical approaches. On backhand approaches, the rubber X-Link blend tends to grab the ground and reduce big skips, helping the disc sit near the landing zone instead of sliding long past the basket.
