He is not going to let the disc companies choose their own weights. opcorn:

To inject some sensability back into this Convo...
Do PDGA SuperClass events go by weight or diameter?
I lost.and even then, I'd say "Pics or it didn't happen"
I wouldn't have known that a Cyclone couldn't go to 178 until jw said something. I would have just assumed it was in the same weight class as the comet or Buzzz. Still sounds dodgy if they are based on diameter like 'rube was saying. I'm not going to go find out what the max possible weight is for everyone of my discs and then weigh mine and hope they are all there, and then weigh my back ups! That sounds like some OCD crap. Get over it, the only time anyone should be worried about a few grams is if they just bought an ounce of blow.
To help further elaborate, if things people you've NEVER met, type on the internet SERIOUSLY offend you, then the problem lies 99.9% in your court. Hell, things people I know personally couldn't get me riled up, unless it read something along the lines of "Your house has burnt down, and as your family ran outside, they were exposed to Sarin gas, and instead of treatment being administered, we shot them" and even then, I'd say "Pics or it didn't happen"

JungA few grams never hurt anyone....well except maybe Tony Montana or George ...
Altitude/elevation and latitude will also affect weight. A disc may be legal in the north pole or the rocky mountains, but not at the equator or sea level.
Discs actually absorb water, so they can get heavier when you send them swimming. you have an allowance of up to 2.5g over stated max weight to work with.
I've been told that if you ever come across some old timer that putts with a Super Puppy, you have to watch out for overweight discs because the PDGA limit is somewhere around 175g, but they used to be molded in weights up to 220g before there were any sort of restrictions.
That is one long sentence.
Well max weight is based on disc diameter, so the larger a disc is, the heavier the max weight can be.
So 175ish grams is max weight for most discs in the standard size, but midranges are a little bit wider so they can be more like 180g. Discs like the Zephyr and other super-class discs can be as heavy as 200g, and in some cases maybe even heaver.
So I don't know what the diameter is on a Super-Puppy, but there's a chance that it's a wide rimmed disc and would be viable in heavier weights.
Discs are also weightless in outer space. Pretty sure that makes them legal no matter how much they weigh.
You play with a disc for a while, it will pick up dirt and weigh more. Go wash that wraith OP. Let it dry and see if it is still overweight.
