One fade and five glide make the Legacy Discs Gauge the straight mid in this lineup.
Zero turn means it will not flip; a single fade means it barely comes back. Between the two, this is a disc that goes where you point it and keeps going, and five glide means it goes a reasonable way. That is the profile people want for long straight midrange shots and tight wooded lines. The trade-off is wind — a mid with only one point of fade does not have much left to correct with.
How much the Gauge turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Gauge was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
