When I stop buying discs, my passion for the game will likely be gone.

Is there a disc (putter or mid) that behaves like the Latitude 64 Pure Opto but comes in 178 to 180 gram weight?
I've got my bag set except I would like a "utility disc" that behaves like the Pure but in a higher weight (the heaviest disc I'm carrying is 173g and would like to have something heavier for that stop where it drops, ain't rolling nowhere, type shots).
Thanks for any help!

May I make a couple recommendations?
1) Reptilian Disc Golf Serpent - its a 2/2/0/0 disc low glide, goes straight stable, sits down, not affected by wind much
2) AXIOM PROXY- its a better pure in my opinion -
3) Axim Alias - super straight mid that just floats/sits

There is no better Pure, period.
I've put Atoms and an a Proxy in and out of my bag. The Pure just keeps coming back. Pure/Envy is the best upshot combo I have ever used. Pure is the only disc I can think of that every disc golfer should carry.
If you find a disc that drops, stops, and never rolls, please let us know. We'd all love that magical disc, I am sure. :thmbup:
As to your question, my answer would be to get a Buzzz in max wt. (178-180g), and beat it in; or a Buzzz SS.
Thanks!
It's just that in reading many comments here about discs, I see people talking about 176g to 180g disc and how useful they are on approaches because of how they stick. Then I look at my bag with nothing over 173g and I'm thinking I might need something heavier to use as a "utility disc" when approaching the target.
I appreciate the honesty!!!

One think about the River is that it is notoriously nose angle sensitive. If you don't keep the nose of that disc down.... She's gone!
