Lightweight Discs and When YOU Should Be Using Them (Beginners and Pros)

ATTENTION BEGINNER DISC GOLFERS... USE LIGHTWEIGHT DISCS! But also, lightweight discs can help an advanced disc golfer game when used right! I have been playing disc golf for about four years and still love throwing lightweight discs all around the course. They are useful not only for massive tailwinds but also for many other situations on the course. For beginners, learning how to play with lightweight discs can help you advance your game to the next level extremely fast!

Check out the discs I used in this video below

Lightweight discs are kinda underrated. Heavier stuff is gonna be more consistent, but lightweight stuff is so fun

I'm a noodle arm. I found that the fastest disc I can throw at max weight and have it fly it's numbers is a speed 6. So, all of my discs above speed 6 are very light weight. The fastest discs I can throw reasonably well in light weight discs are a speed 9. I have a Mamba that's really light weight that I can throw decently sometimes, but not consistent. At my current arm speed, the lightweight doesn't help me above a speed 9. As I improve and attain better arm speed, I'll increase the weight of my faster discs. I didn't know about the head wind vs tail wind dealie with distance drivers because I don't throw any, but will keep that in mind. I did however, know about the disc up/disc down depending on wind dealie.

Thanks for a great video.

As I am getting older been trying out some newer molds in lighter weights

I keep lightweight versions of my drivers for uphill shots. I also have a max weight, very overstable driver for downhill tee shots. It's so overstable I wouldn't throw it for any other reason than a steep downhill drive which is where it shines because at max weight gravity wants to keep accelerating it and the overstability keeps it straight for longer.

I use a 150 class bag in full - including putters! It is easier on this MA50 player and I can recover lost distance. And circle 2 putting is a blast!

counterpoint: max weight performs more consistent in wind which is more important.... plus comparing flight numbers between innova and house of discs as you did is kinda pointless because house of flip stuff is always way more under-stable than they list... You probably should have seen the same results if you compared light weight innova and max weigh
