[Question] I Have A Question

Does the weight of a disc have any affect on that discs' durability?

 

[BirdieMachine]

Not really. The type of plastic drastically affects it though.

Most to least durable-

Champ
Star
Pro
DX

Ok, thank you much!

I am going to agree with BirdieMachine, but with one caveat. The weight of the disc doesn't seem to make the disc "beat in" any faster or slower, but 150 class or lighter discs in base-line plastic seems to warp on hard impact easier, at least with my experience.

Not really...but yes in my opinion. Call me crazy but in my experience lighter discs lose stability more quickly.

Could be some variation, noticed lighter weight (160 and below) tends to be more flexible and softer than it's heavier counterparts, so it is possible but I wouldn't imagine it. Would also have to consider it against the fact many could probably get a lighter disc faster so maybe it has more chance for damage at higher speeds.

One exception is the Blizzard / Air plastic if you compare it to the regular Champion plastic.

Since the Blizzard has the rim filled with air bubbles, it is much more porous and gets beat in way faster than the normal solid champion plastic.
