Discmania S-Line FD3
How do I read the numbers and stability?
How fast the disc has to be thrown to fly as designed. Beginners: up to 7. Without a strong arm, a faster disc will simply drop to the left and won't fly far.
How long the disc stays up in the air. A higher number means more distance with less effort. 5–7 works well for beginners.
High-speed turn. How much the disc turns to the right early in the flight (right-handed backhand). For beginners −1 to −3 is better: this turn to the right offsets the natural drop to the left of a beginner's throw, so the disc flies straighter.
Low-speed fade. How sharply the disc hooks to the left and drops at the end of the flight. For beginners 0–2 is more predictable and keeps more distance.
Despite how it sounds, understable does not mean a bad or unpredictable flight. Stability is relative to the power of the throw.
An understable disc is made to turn right on a powerful throw. On a beginner's softer throw, this tendency evens out the natural drop to the left, and the disc flies straight.
On a beginner's throw, a stable or overstable disc will drop to the left straight away and won't fly far. Once your throw gets stronger, you can move on to more stable discs.
Beginners: the first 6 months, still learning the basics of the throw. Amateurs: play regularly, with a developed technique. Advanced players: experienced players with a powerful, consistent throw.

The FD3 is Discmania's stable to overstable "workhorse" fairway driver, designed to get the job done no matter the conditions. For stronger players, the FD3 maintains a reliable, straight flight path for a good chunk of distance before the inevitable hard hit. (fade).
For players with slower hand speed, the FD3 works more like a " utility " driver that always flies predictably thanks to its strong (fade) at low speed.
It's not an overstable driver all the time, but it offers excellent distance, accuracy, and is great for many, making it a choice you can rely on in a variety of situations, both for backhand and forehand shots.
