A) Rim Thickness (Kanttjocklek)

Tjocklek på kanten. Påverkar hur "stort" greppet är. Putters brukar ha minst grepp (normalt 10-12mm), Distance Drivers mest (20-23mm). Om du inte gillar breda rimmar är det i första hand denna egenskap du ska kolla in. Välj helst inte mer än, säg 19-20mm. Man kan säga att gränsen går lite mellan fairway och distance driver.

B) Rim Depth (Kantdjup)

Innerhöjden på discen ute vid kanten. Putters har i regel ett högre värde än slimmade drivers.

C) Center Height (Höjd)

Discens högsta punkt. Putters har i regel ett högre värde än slimmade drivers.

Are distance drivers only for the pros? Nope. Say hello to our first distance driver in the Easy-to-Use Line. It's light, it's fast, yet still easy to grip and control. The Sapphire is designed to be the perfect partner to the Diamond, our most popular Easy-to-Use fairway driver. With the Sapphire you will get that extra speed and stability in your disc arsenal. It has a slim profile for smooth releases, and it is easy to get a good grip, especially for those of you with smaller hands. First Run Sapphires are only available in a stunning Opto Chameleon plastic. Speed: 10 Glide: 6 Turn: -2 Fade: 1.5

Words from disc designer Tomas Ekström about the Sapphire:
When I designed the Sapphire I had three main goals in my mind. The first was to make a faster Diamond which can go longer and be a natural step up for the Diamond fans. The second was to achieve a rim that was easy to grip with a shallow feel, even if it's wider than the Diamond. The third goal was to achieve a step up in stability, because I think all Diamond fans would love to have a faster driver with a bit less high speed turn.
