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 Discraft Malita is a new disc in the Paul McBeth line of discs. This Prototype run looks to address some of Paul's wishes in what he felt was missing from his bag.
The Malita is a small diameter, straight-flying midrange. Don't confuse it with the similarly named Malta or even the Buzzz when you look at the flight numbers.
The Malita has a very comfortable feel with it's slightly smaller size and beadless design. In the air, the Malita has just enough turn to give it a little drift before a soft fade at the end of the flight.
If thrown with just a little anhyzer, the Malita will easily turn over and just hold that line. It won't be too flippy, but just enough to take that big turnover shot. When given some hyzer, it will flip up to an extent before holding that line. In the end, this new disc is quite controllable.
The smaller diameter really gives this disc a unique look and feel. If you've wanted a little more control on a midrange, the Malita is worth a look.
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.
