What term describes the float time of a thrown disc and is commonly used when discussing the Pull?

• A. Lag
• B. Spin
• C. Distance
• D. Height

Answer: (A)

Float time is the duration the disc spends in the air from release to ground, and that delay in flight is described as lag. When discussing a Pull, this lag matters because it determines how long receivers have to react and get under the disc. Spin describes how quickly the disc is rotating, which affects stability—not how long it stays aloft. Distance refers to how far the disc travels, not how long it stays in the air. Height concerns how high the disc goes, again not its airtime. So lag is the best term for the float time of a thrown disc.
