An expert in this can prove me wrong, but I don't think there is nearly as much of a risk in the speed of disc shots, because unlike HP shots, frisbee shots are at least guided towards a single point, and any wheeled shooter not shooting full court will have a fairly straight shot, only hitting shielded areas. Also, due to the height of the goal, shots don't seem to really be going as super high up as HP shots were, and any team that repeatedly shoots discs past the nets will be penalized-thus minimizing the risk of super fast shots leaving the field.

Excuse my confusing writings, obvious late night last night
