All discs the same weight or do you vary?

[Mr. America]

I read a lot of different thoughts and comments on weight. So my question is, do you carry different weights, or do you try to keep all discs in the same weight class?

 

[Jody Mitchell]

Putters and Mids I like max weight, overstable/stable drivers 165-170, understable drivers 170-174.

I have more consistency using them that way.

erm. Almost exactly what he said. Freaking Creepy. I just have the OS/S drivers at 167-170.

 

[Marmoset]

Putters, mids, fairways and distance drivers; all between 147-152g.

I have more consistency using them that way.

 

[rocthecourse]

I like a bag full of discs around the same weight, 175 grams, that way they feel the same.

 

[Burrito]

Generally, for me:

Putters (Rhynos)
= max wt

Mids (Buzz, Wasp, Drone, beat Cobra)
= 170-max (I like knowing I can throw hard and not have them turn over)

Understable drivers (RR, Sidewinder) = 175

Stable/Overstable (Nuke, Destroyer) = 160-167

I also like to to carry various weights of TL's and Wraiths, with the Wraiths also in different plastic. I find I get slightly different flights from different weights.

 

[kcplease]

Everything 170 and up. If i use less weight for overstable stuff, that defeats the purpose because the heavier weight is more resistant to wind and diving left, which is what i ultimately want the disc to do.

This works for me too... but I do like a light star Leopard for easy standing anhyzers.

...exactly the same for me.

 

[pokamitch]

Potpouri would best describe my bag. Basically, if it works for me, I throw it

 

[andrewkh]

must have putters at 175, mids 175 +, fairways i like max but drivers can go from 168-175 depending on there stability. if it's a new disc that i have never thrown before i'll always go with a 175 if possible to try it out at that weight and see how it goes from there. in the past i have tried throwing lighter weights but it seems to me the heavier the weight, the more consistent the flight

Mixed. One heavier and one lighter of Wizards and Buzz's, drivers I tend to like around 170g.

I like to carry a lighter putter for putting (170-172) and a heavier one for drives and approaches (179).

I like carrying two Buzz's, one beat FLX 167 for turnovers and bad weather use, and one Z 175-177 for general purpose hyzer drives and short range FH rollers.

One Stalker, 171g. One Pred, 164g (I find it fights headwinds just fine, and gets a little extra carry on thumbers). One Orc, 171g.

I find for most molds, going down to 170g gives me extra glide without sacrificing much stability. It's very rare I find a max weight driver I like as much as a 170g driver of the same mold, even if it's a fairway driver I can easily turnover.

 

[nofxorbust]

well i have 3 destroyers (175,167,159) 2 monarchs (175,165) 2 FL's (175,164) and 2 makos (180,173) i also plan on getting another mako at 165. if i have a single type of disc it is usually above 170. so pretty much what im saying is if i like a disc i will get it in multiple weights to account for wind and such. high wind = heavier disc. no wind/tail wind = lighter disc for maxium distance.

 

[Brall]

i'd prefer all discs to be the same. it feel strange to throw 20 throws with 175 then pick up a 165

 

[HarkeyPuck]

My bag ranges from 170 - 180

2 Distance Drivers 170 & 170

3 Fairway Drivers 171, 172 & 172

3 Midrange 175, 180 & 180

2 Putters 172 & 175

 

[toothyfish]

My discs are all close in weight for a given "type". My true putters are 169-170. My driving/approaching/upshot putters are 174-175, my mids are 177 to 180, fairways are 172 to 175, and high speed drivers are 167-169. Speed 9 drivers I like at 170-172, though I'm only carrying a Firebird right now.

My thought is that this weight consistency helps with my release and snap consistency.

 

[garublador]

I like three different weights for putters, max weight for drives, ~170-172 for approaches and 165-168 for putts.

I carry max weight for mids, but I know that for how far I throw them I'd get slightly better results by dropping down to ~175. I'm too optimistic that I'll improve to where I'd want heavier mids.

Most of my drivers are 168-172. I get the best distance without sacrificing control.

 

[discddwn]

Putters and mids max weight. Drivers 169-172.

 

[climbingbubba]

Putters - 175
Mids - 170 - 176
BH drivers - 165-168
FH drivers - 170-175

It probably really doesn't matter to me as long as my BH drivers are light enough for my noodle arm to throw.

 

[Discette]

Putters and Mids - Max weight
Everything else 150 except a few discs that only go as low as 166-168.
