Quite an interesting and fun game to play. Overall it was a good game to hang on to. However, it feels like the ball is actually not following the line path, which might be good as per plan and at the same time, it should be, I guess. After all, this mini-game is quite fun but it requires certain improvements and polish to make it more appealing.
Thanks! The disc doesn't follow the exact path! It actually uses an accurate simulation of the discs flight paths. I've added bunch of the most popular Innova discs to the game along with their manufacturers stats ratings. You can learn a bit more about it here: https://www.innovadiscs.com/home/disc-golf-faq/flight-ratings-system/
Generally, when throwing a right handed backhand (the default) the disc will fade off to the right at the end of the flight, and vice versa with a forehand.
I'm planning on making many more additions to the game, and there's already a lot of changes from 8 days ago. One of those things is a tutorial explaining WTF is going on with the disc not going straight.
Okay, great, thanks for the useful resource! Knowing this logic behind the game, now I think the portrayal could be better to make the users know what's happening and how exactly to play this game. The concept behind this is quite cool, upon polishing it more could make a lot of sense and interesting!

There's also a cool tool here: http://discpath.haxor.fi/ where you can see a lot of the disc flight patterns.
