What is your preferred distance driver weight?

[BirdieMachine]

I prefer 167-168 but will go as low as 157 for all out max D.

 

[zugthug1705]

Low 170's

 

[fasteddie]

I pair 167/168* with max weight counterparts in my fairway and control slots.

 

[46YearOldSlinger]

168 is my sweet spot for most but it does vary by mold.

 

[Monocacy]

Prefer low 160s for distance. For stable-OS distance I will dip into the upper 150s.

I used to throw all 150s drivers, so light weights are not a problem. I like to keep driver weights fairly consistent - helps with accuracy.

 

[mashnut]

Most of my main drivers are 167-170.

 

[Guurn]

I usually look for 171g drivers.

 

[Monkeypaws]

In ideal conditions, I love 160-64.

 

[Kodachrome]

167-171.

Really try to keep it 167-169 though, except for my windfighters. Something I just like about the number 171, so ill take a 171 and skip a 170. Why? Dunno. Just seems like a lucky number.

 

[Cripes]

I try to stay in the 170-174 range.

I really don't like the weight range of this poll. Why you may ask because there are so many people whom like a certain small weight range like 167-169, 169-171, 171-173 or are stuck on max weight attitudes. I would put more options on this poll


175g
172-174
169-171
165-168
160-164
150-159
Under 150

For me it depends on the disc as most discs stability are not that different between 165-175 imo, heck even 150g teebirds aren't flippy. I am in the 168-171g range as my preference for drivers but I throw anything between 165-175 in my driver slot, my 165g star wraith is my favorite distance driver.

That was my initial thought but to make it simpler, I mean if you throw 174 you probably also throw 172. I throw 165-171 range usually but go as low as 157. Bigger range just seemed to make more sense since most of us are not to concerned over a gram or two.

 

[UncleSweat]

I try to have everything 171g to Max.

 

[ian.]

166-168 for anything Speed 7+
170-175 for Mids
170-173 for my Putting Putters
170-175 for driving Putters

 

[clard]

167-170 with the right Destroyers/Scorpius.

 

[DanJon]

Max Weight everything is for noobs.

 

[BirdieMachine]

I'm a bit surprised by the overwhelming 160-169 votes. Not much lighter and a decent showing on 170+.

 

[Ted Bratton]

170+ works well for me, I don't get too greedy trying to squeeze out a little extra distance.

 

[Shamis]

172 seems to be the sweet spot for me, unless perhaps there is no wind and I'm throwing some kind of circus air disc.

 

[esc1]

171 on most drivers for me. Not too light, not too heavy.
