I am wondering what some of you prefer for weights in your discs when it comes to differences in putters, mid-ranges, drivers and roller discs. I am about to do some shopping for new discs. My go-to disc right now is a 165g TL, a weight which i narrowed down to being the best weight for me in terms of accuracy, consistency and distance. My Putter (a Star plastic Aviar) is 175g and again, the weight I feel most comfortable with after trying different.

What I am wondering is if its correct to have this different range of weights for discs that do different flights? Should my hyzer disc be a few grams heavier to help avoid turnovers and create a more predictable hyzer? Should i by a Roc that is heavier because its a slower speed disc? Should a roller disc be heavier or lighter than what you prefer for your go-to straight driver?

Also, what about the weight of a disc used exclusively for thumbers and tomahawks? Lighter or heavier?

Lastly, what about a long ranger putter? A disc with more glide, a lighter disc, or just stick with my 175g Aviar and practice?

I thought it was set at 150, interesting to see they are flexible on it, which makes you wonder why they just don't adopt the PDGA disc specs, it would be good for the sport.
I prefer em in the 110-120 range, and bigger and they need to be over 5'10" or were you talking about discs?
So you like your guys thin and relatively short?
My "sweet spot" for drivers is probably 167 grams. Although I think that the Star TeeBird I hit an ace with weighs in at 172g. Anything in that range is good. Maybe a little towards the lighter end for a turnover disc. Maybe a little towards the heavier end for an overstable disc that you would throw in a headwind.
Experiment and see whats right for you !!!
i throw heavy everything. and it's generally around 170 and up
8000 gram mega roller, more or less..............a hubcap. Thats just how I roll.
Putters - 168g

Mids - 175 - 180

Drivers - 168 - 172 (depends on stability of disc)

Rollers - whatever works for the shot I need

Overhands - 168 - 170

Pigs - 180 (I like my meat hooks with weight)
