A disc like the glitch isn't gonna be a wind fighter at 150g or 175g.
It doesn't need to fight wind, just not get too squirrelly. I personally don't have a hole in my bag crying out for a 150g Glitch to fill.

I found that when it comes to the Glitch it needs to be thrown like a freestyle lid. No arm speed, but with lots and lots of spin. And I really mean no arm speed. It's the spin of the disc that keeps it gliding through the air. Speed on the disc can cause it to turn wildly into a cut roller. IME and YMMV
I took my Glitch (153) to a field and threw it along with my Ohm (174), Inner Core (168), and Hex (178). Used the Hex as a 'baseline' distance to see how far my putters were going as throwers.
The Glitch just never worked for me. I was throwing with a slight crosswind, but that didn't affect my other discs. The Glitch never went very far and just went to the ground quickly....sometimes becoming a roller that just curled back towards me.
Some things I need to consider and work on:
Was the difference due to weight?
Am I just not throwing the Glitch with the correct speed?
I do plan on working with it some more....but, it might just become a putting putter for me. I have found I'm hitting the basket from a bit further out than I can with the Ohm.
Contrary to many others here, the few times I've thrown a Glitch I've tried throwing it like I would throw an Envy on linger throws. Hard with some height and and a little bit of hyzer. And every time it has flown well and held pretty darn straight with a little fade at the end.
Yeah the Glitch is not touchy if you have a smooth, snappy throw.
I pipe mine 200-250 dead straight with relative ease.
I love the Glitch for a "cheat code" disc in the woods. Everyone else will be trying to throw a touchy driver line and I'll just pipe a Glitch a few times with far more consistency.
sounds perfect for brp hole 4
Nah bro, that tunnel is wide enough for a driver...or at least a hex!
I only ever fully piped it once, my first time, and the lhbh throw hit the last tree on the right and wheeled out like a boss for a look!
did you card the 2

I find that I throw my Glitch much like I throw my Comets, and that seems to work quite well. Now if only I could figure out how to FH the Glitch (I can FH Comets pretty good as long as I am meticulous about my form)???
