They are out there. I've got a candy apple red Elite Z at 160. It doesn't want to come down.
that's awesome.
I still remember playing with you @ Renny Gold 10 years ago... I love how smooth you throw!

I couldn't imagine playing windy courses with such low weights... I throw some low-weight drivers... But certainly not putters or mids... I don't see a benefit, just loss of consistency.
I threw all 150 class for about 8ish years and never noticed a loss in consistency.I couldn't imagine playing windy courses with such low weights... I throw some low-weight drivers... But certainly not putters or mids... I don't see a benefit, just loss of consistency.
Is this from personal experience, or just assumptions passed on from the internet forums?
When I switched to a 150 class bag a few years ago, all my buddies said the same thing, "what are you going to do in the wind"? Nobody says that to me anymore and I have also converted a few to lower weights too.
Probably depends on the types of courses you play and where. If you're playing open courses in Kansas, then maybe you have a point.

Obviously we're not talking hurricane-force winds here, but overstable discs from drivers to putters should fight the wind pretty effectively. If it gets really windy on my home course, I'll putt and approach with the Zone. The Star Gator is also a good putter into headwinds.

Anyone still fooling around with lighter stuff and have any new info to pass along?
You would have to go with the 50/50 garbage Blizzard Champion as you never know and it seems light Champion has been gone for a while. Star Lite is what they call the lightweight Star under 160 grams I would think and under 138 grams the plastic floats. I thought Star Lite is OOP? They still make or can still find R-Pro light plastic just called R-Pro for a few of the discs that were Drivers/fairway made in such a plastic and a few of the 150 and under discs float in water outside of the Whaoo and Hydra. Also the DX Dragon an around 150 gram disc is an R-DX in that it is as durable as DX but since the last few years in 2018, the plastic has been like the more grip runs of R-Pro. The Dragon mold flies like an easier to flip Valkyrie due in part to weight and distance is about the same as a DX Dragon is light.Wish I could find some 150g Champion Leopards.....pretty hard to find now, they only seem to make them in Star plastic.
