The word, "stable," can definitely give people the wrong idea. I almost wish another word had been chosen initially, but I don't know what word that would have been, exactly. It's just wierd to speak of something being "more" stable and mean a tendency to fade harder and sooner. "Stable" is the word we have now, so if we try to get a grip on what "understable" means, then we may grasp the differences.

As I was able to get more on my drives, I moved from less stable to more stable. After my pectoral injury cost me driving power, I moved back the other way, to less stable.

To complicate this for nearly everyone trying to learn, while dealing with subtle differences in disc aerodynamics, we are dealing with any number of subtle form irregularities from one shot to the next. Unless we get our form regular for a given disc, throwing with a uniform force, tilt, and attitude for a given slope or windage, the shots are going to do almost mystically different things. Thankfully, once in a while we get to see a pro sky one, or drive it into the ground, and realize, this aint as easy as it looks.
