I have a 166 Dx Tee-Bird and a 167 Champ Tee-Bird. (one gram jsut doenst make a difference) But on the weekend i threw texconites 172 Chap Tee-Bird and i was gobsmacked.
I usually like to throw around 170 so i figured that +-3g to 170 is acceptable error. (thats the range offered by gottagogottathrow when purchasing discs)
HOWEVER The 5 gram difference was phonomenal completely changing the way the disc came out of the hand. It felt more like it ripped out and faded later into the flight than my 167. What struck me was that it was the same flight but different the 172 comfortably super seeded the 167. (shame its not mine)
I have a 174 z Surge (more high speed understable and low speed overstable) and a 166 FLX (oddly very straight but i prefer the teebirds) surge and they dont feel of fly alike at all, effectlvely 2 different discs. Is this just the plastics or fluke?
SO what i was wondering is how many grams make a difference?? Anyone else had this sort of experience?
