4. Operating the Disc

Understanding the flight characteristics of your DX Cheetah will help you achieve better results on the course.

Throwing Techniques:

• For Straight Shots: The Cheetah excels at straight line drives. For optimal straight flight, aim to release the disc flat with moderate power.
• For Turnover Shots: When thrown with higher arm speed, the DX Cheetah will exhibit a slight "turnover" (move to the right for a right-hand backhand thrower) before fading back. This can be utilized for shaping shots around obstacles.
• Beginner Friendly: Its forgiving flight path makes it an excellent choice for new players learning to control their throws.

Experiment with different release angles and power levels to discover the full potential of your DX Cheetah.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your disc.

• Cleaning: After use, especially in dirty or muddy conditions, clean your disc with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• Storage: Store your disc flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it in a way that could warp its shape.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the disc surface, as this can affect its flight characteristics.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DX Cheetah, consider the following:

• Disc Not Flying Straight:
  • Check Release Angle: Ensure you are releasing the disc flat. An anhyzer (nose up) or hyzer (nose down) release will alter the flight path.
  • Power Level: Too much or too little power can affect stability. The Cheetah is designed for moderate power for straight flights.
  • Wind Conditions: Strong winds can significantly impact disc flight. Adjust your throw accordingly.
• Disc Appears Damaged:
  • Inspect for cracks, deep gouges, or warping. Minor scuffs are normal with use. Significant damage may affect flight.
  • If damage occurred during shipping or is a manufacturing defect, refer to the "Warranty and Support" section.
