What these numbers mean
For each player I averaged their throws between their own 80th and 95th percentile. So it isn't a single lucky drive and it isn't a warmup toss. It's what you can actually repeat when you're going after it.
What's the green band? (Advance ratio)
Advance ratio is your spin and your speed expressed as a single number: how fast the rim is travelling compared to how fast the whole disc is travelling. A disc rolling along the ground is exactly 1.0, because the rim and the disc move together. A thrown disc is roughly half that.
Where did the data come from?
Throws measured with RipReader in 2026. Over 75,000 throws from over 600 players with 10 or more throws each, on both iOS and Android.
