Hard to say, a RR is really understable. Best bet is to try it and see. If it isn't flipping flat, or turning over for you, then it's probably still too fast.
A Leopard straight off the shelf isn't exactly what I'd call "understable". I'd put a Leopard in the "K" column of that chart, the understable side of stable, right off the shelf.
His Leopard may be more worn in than his Roadrunner.
Thanks for the replies.
I saw on THIS chart that the roadrunner is more understable but it is also a higher speed and I did't know exactly how the higher speeds affected discs. I assumed for someone who doesn't throw very far, the leopard would be more understable because it is a lower speed.
Wouldn't weight also make a difference?

Here's how I've wrapped my head around the stability/speed ratings: the speed numbers aren't just "how fast can it go," but also, "how fast must I throw it, for these other numbers to mean anything."
So, the RR has more "high speed turn" than the Leo, meaning it should turn over to a greater degree than the Leo, but you have to throw the RR faster than the Leo to get all of that "turnover" out of it.
Weight, age, and plastic will all make a difference, too. Technique, as well. You may get more snap out of the wide RR rim.
"snap", or "torque" matter too. The faster the disk is spinning, the more it want's to turn over.
