Disc weight vs trajectory height?

[The Mickstar]

All of the discs in my bag are ~175g. I also have a few in the ~180g range. I don't notice a big difference in shot height between any of them. However....

Lately I've been experimenting with lighter discs in the ~157g range. What I've noticed is that my shots are noticeably lower with these lighter weight discs. Still very playable, but a noticeable difference. And I've noticed this across mids & fairway drivers.

My sample size on the lighter discs is small, so I'm wondering if this is a "thing" or if the light discs I have just happen to be lower flying discs.

Theoretically your arm/disc should swing faster with lighter weight. Faster swing shallows the pendulum.

This has not been my experience. I do seem to find some particular discs more nose sensitive.
