bradm Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Believe it or not, afro-funk band Mr. Something Something sells discs as part of their merchandise. (I've heard they're regulation; does 175g sound right?) They're playing at the College Street Bar in Toronto next Thursday, June 16.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 A regular disc is different than a disc-golf disc... Phish, SCI, etc. sell regular discs as well, so it's not really all that original of an idea... (Unless you're referring to disc-golf discs Brad, then it's kind of a cool idea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 yeah, what are the weights for disc golf discs? I know they're different sizes and such but is there a standard weight for a driver, putter, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 You know, I may have had it wrong...the discs may be regulation for ultimate, not disc golf; I apologize for any confusion, and, if you want to check the discs out, best e-mail the band (and/or go to the show, which'll be well worth it if you like afro-funk and/or dancing and not being shy in general).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headygouda Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Not sure if there is a 'standard' weight for discgolf discs. But I know that sets of discs come in a variety of weight classes, with each of the discs (ie. driver, midrange & putter) all being the same weight within each class. Its a combination of the weight distribution, disc flexibility/rigidity that makes them fly differently to determine their function/range, usually a mix of flight stability and control.

CyberHippie Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 The standard weight for an ultimate disc (discraft Ultrastar) is 175 grams.Golf discs do vary in weight. The PDGA evaluates each disc mold and determines a max weight for the disc, usually between 175g and 180g. I've seen weights as low as 145g.Midranges and putters you want to be heavier, usually in high 170's. Drivers are all over the map, if the wind is behind you, you want 150's. If the wind is screaming in your face then you want 170's. If it's calm, then something in the middle, I like to throw drivers around 162g. If it's too light it's easy to overpower it, and it'll take off to the left or right, but if it's too heavy it'll be tough to make it go straight...It takes many, many rounds to find the right weight range for you. But for anyone starting out, I'd recomend getting lighter drivers at first, 150-165. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
