The Nimbus, a member of Elevation's floppy disc lineup, flies straight with a reliable fade. Its extreme flexibility makes it great for approaching dangerous greens.
Elevation Disc Golf says this about the Nimbus: "The Nimbus is a neutral midrange that has the flight numbers of 5| 5| 0| 1.5 and will hold whatever line you put it on, both forehand and backhand. As a midrange that doesn't flip up or have an aggressive fade, the Nimbus will be a staple in every disc golfer's bag."
Floppy discs have acquired a reputation for not handling much power and requiring smooth form. However, Elevation took this challenge seriously with the design of the Nimbus. They take pride in the fact that this mold can be thrown hard without it turning and burning. In fact, it can handle the torque of a forehand throw.
Obviously, its extreme flexibility is still its main selling point. This floppy characteristic minimizes skips and rollaways, giving you more confidence when approaching dangerous greens.
If you want to try a floppy disc, the Nimbus is worth checking out!

Flight Metrics
Speed
The velocity required to reach a disc's optimal flight path. Range: 1 to 15.
Glide
The measure of lift generated by a disc to stay aloft. Range: 1 to 7.
Turn
The velocity, relative to the speed of the disc, required to cause the disc to turn with the direction of spin. Range: +1 to -5.
Fade
The low-velocity stability that causes a disc to hook at the end of its flight. Range: 0 to 5.
I got the Eco-Flex rubber, blank, 175 gram. It feels great in the hand, the release is smooth as silk, and the flight goes where I want it. Can't ask any more out of a disc. I really love the fact that it is quite resilient, it's by far the most durable disk (The Eco-Flex rubber) I own, which is why I have several Elevation disks in my bag. Many of my other discs are getting cut up, getting gashes on the edges, etc. Not my Eco-Flex Elevation discs.
this is a great disc for hilly courses it can roll a little but doesn't roll far, it does like to stay near where it lands and very forgiving off trees
Love as a scramble disc when I need it to stick and as a midrange in the woods to keep me from getting bad tree love and shooting off through the woods when I hit a tree in the faraway.
