Frisbee Golf

Each disc flies on the lift, drag and pitching-moment curves the shotshaper project computed for four disc golf discs, and its spin turns the pitching moment into the slow roll that makes a disc turn and fade. The flight is tested against shotshaper's own aerodynamics to within a centimetre, and follows three measured 87 to 107 m throws sideways to within 1.6 m in the air. Left out: skips and rolls after landing, a disc that clips a tree drops where it hit, wobble, and a changing spin. The basket catches a disc passing within 0.3 m of its pole between 0.5 m and 1.4 m up.
