How light do discs need to be to float?

 

[HeartlessCynic]

Depends on the volume of the mold.

What about a Destroyer? Thinking about picking up a Blizzard one for my casual rounds.

below 140. I'd go at least 2 grams just to be safe.

 

[joe_kool315]

supposedly the ones under 140 float ... I had a 127 & 138 that floated the 127 was too flippy the 138 was controllable.

Depends on the volume of the mold.

Its also density of the plastic. For instance, all Destroyers other than Blizzard plastic sink, yet they all have the same volume.

^^^There is a slight difference in the thickness of the flight plate.

My 141 floats. But it floats vertically. 136/139 float flat on top though.

I believe my mom's 150 DX Shark floats.

Lol!

"What else floats?"

"Wood."

"Small rocks."

"A duck."

I have a 150 (verified) blizzard destroyer that floats. I though maybe it had a bubble under the flight plate so I pushed it back under. It came back to the surface very slowly, but it came back.

Now everytime i hear "Float On" on the radio that image will be in my head....sweet.

 

[Marv Vega]

That movie still creeps me out...

The different plastics each have their own specific gravity.

A r-pro wahoo floats at 169. A similar big rim disc in champion sinks like a stone.

OMG best post ever! i want that on a floating disc! somebody dye it on a hydra.

 

[ohtobediscing]

Lol!

Coming soon: the Innova Duck. In Kelly green and neon yellow.

My 135 Blizzard floats pretty well. Bubbles in rim only.

I remember reading somewhere that 138g was the magic number for Blizzard plastic. I'm sure if you're a little above that it will float, just not as well.

 

[smokingmonkee]

i had a 157g Valk start to float away on me.
