anyone use 150 weight discs?

My Viper 150 is one of my favorites for back hand throws under 200 feet with a little curve.

I might have misspoke, and I have no ill respect for the rollers... I'm just not a huge fan. I love watching my disc tear throw the air and floating up and down and then gliding to a beautiful landing. However, if I'm in a spot that I can't toss, I'm not ashamed to roll, it's just not my first choice for a solution.

Course after hearing these arguments for rollers, I might start incorporating it into my game play more.

I do use an Innova Dragon fairly regularly. It is my floater, but I also drive with it when the wind is at my back. Since it is beat up pretty good, I can pretty much get to turn left and right both from a back hand throw. So I like it very much.

My favorite driver is my 150 Champion Leopard...but I am incorporating a few techniques I learned at a driving clinic and find that I'm overspinning it more now because I am getting more velocity and power in my release...it works great for those anhyzer situations

I just picked up a 150 Champ Leopard last month, I really like it. It predictably finishes a little right for me if thrown flat and goes very far and straight with a nice s turn if thrown with a little hyzer.

I have a 150 Dragon and a 147 Leopard. I use the Dragon on any hole where there is potential of losing it in the water. (I hate losing discs!) I use the Leopard on shorter par threes where the hole is fairly strait with nothing in the way. Love em' both!

I have a hard time s-ing my 150 gram disc, yet it still flies a long ways. If I try to throw it sidearm, it is as useful as a paper plate. I am a begginer to the light wieght, but I am growing very fond of it.

i have a 150 stingray but when i throw it, it goes nowhere so i use it as my roller disc since innova rates its turn as -5

I picked up a dragon fo our water hole (#6 Grand Woods Lansing, MI). Unforyunately it is too over stable to be useful on that hole for me. I also have a 150 Surge and a 164 Wildcat and I'm a big fan of both.

You think a Dragon is too OVER stable?? http://www.innovadiscs.com/discs/index.html

150? Hell, I have an Ultralight 127 in my bag! I just have to be careful of anyone playing near me sneezing and totally messing up my drive.

I cut my disc golf teeth on a 150 dx valkarie. I lost it in a lake, but man was that disc sweet. I may just have to go get another one. The 150's are great downwind discs.

thats the key right there, throwing with the wind only! any kind of headwind or cross/head wind, and your 150 class disc is uncontrollable. i throw a 150 wraith and destroyer, and my arm thanks me all the time for using lighter plastic.

Possibly my favorite driver is a Champion 150 Sidewinder. I toss it backhand and it's one of the straighter drivers I've thrown, and then eventually it turns over. Overall gets nice distance and is reliable for a long straight shot. In my opinion a 150 is nice to have because it can feel light as a feather and, as an added bonus, it skips off trees like nobody's business. I have a 165 roadrunner and 175 wraith, and it definitely holds its own. Highly recommended.

 

[cloudstrife]

hell yea, i do. Got a 150 beast and now thanks to Eric J a 150 dragon. Still loving the disc thanks a lot man. Saw a 150 champion tee-bird at the second hand disc shop and was wishing i had a 5 on me to pick it up.

I can flip a 170 gr Champ valkyrie and I can't get a dragon to stay right for me. Maybe I'm throwing different when I grab the Dragon I don't know.

That is odd, maybe it's just that disc. My Dragon goes nice and straight, turns over if I put enough on it. Kind of reminds me of a floating Valkyrie, maybe a little slower.

Glad it's working for ya. You were right about that Wasp... really overstable. So overstable that it's resting at the bottom of the lake at FCAC after a not so hot throw.

I have a 145 Roc that I use for finesse shots. It's great for approach shots in which you have to work the disc in and around a few trees.
