What is your preferred distance driver weight?

[Stable]

Cool poll. Surprised this hasn't come up yet. I voted 175g because that's where most of my discs fall. I do carry a 167-170g Wraith a lot of the time but I still prefer 175g as a standard.

The older i get, the lighter i seem to throw. Proly average 164 gms

I like to keep it between 169-173 but checking my bag and all but my BT Medium Giant are actually (labeled) as 171. So clearly that is my preferred weight, hahaha.

I'm thinking maybe 5g increments would have been more realistic of a pole.

FH 170-175(or heavier), BH 167-172

 

[tomte]

175g. All of them. All of them are Gold/Tournament/(Bio)Fuzion type plastic. And putters are also all 175g. Mids are between 175g and 180g.

 

[tbird888]

165-172 for drivers
175 for mids and putters

I think manufacturers should see this that most are between 167-171. Make most of your higher speed stuff in that range. It sells the most.

168 is leading by a hair. Interesting to see. I always thought the low 170s were the most popular.

 

[BrotherDave]

Anywhere between 165 and 170 is generally good for me. I don't mind sneaking into the 170s for flippier stuff.

My younger brother is just starting out, I have him throwing a 178g Z Zombee, 180g 400 M4, and a 168g Eclipse Proton Anode (Anode courtesy of AimForTheChains, really solid dude). I really do believe in heavier discs, provided the thrower has the arm speed to utilize them. They handle wind much more effectively than/don't get pushed around by it like their light counterparts, which I have noticed is critical for building confidence in new throwers. As for the middleweight putter, my brother does not putt with authority yet, lighter weight discs are easier to get up to speed. Once he graduates to a distance driver, he will probably get a max weight driving putter also.

165-170 for drivers and fairways, 175-180 mids and 173 putters (why 173? who knows.).

 

[DesertFox]

168 seems to be the most popular choice, yay I'm cool

 

[stevep]

It depends somewhat on the disc, but my overall best driver is a 174g Discraft Flash.

 

[sumo21]

Most all my discs in my bag are max weight except the few that I want to have as understable, 172g Roadrunner for turnovers and rollers.

 

[Jabumbo]

My favorite driver in the bag right now is a 150 polaris LS but pretty much everything else I own is in the 168-172 range.

I tend to not put too much stock in the weight and only really pay close attention to it when looking at putters.

Something around 170.
