Well that feeling has changed. I am very much wanting to buy a disc right now. Innova has a new plastic out called Blizzard Champion Plastic. It has thousands of tiny air bubbles in it to make the disc lighter, without changing the flight characteristics. You are supposed to be able to throw a disc 20 grams lighter than your normal disc, but have it feel and behave just like your normal weight, except that it goes further.
This might just be a novelty thing to make people go out and buy new discs, but it is working. I can't wait to get one. When I do, I'll let you know what I think. I'm planning on getting a 150 gram Katana or DiscMania DD2 (DiscMania is Innova Europe). They say testing shows that they float if you get them in weights lighter than 140 grams, but this R-Pro Boss was supposed to float too.
Yea I have been wanting to try that out. It seems to make a lot of sense. I have been throwing lighter discs this year and they have definitely helped my distance. Let me know what you think of the plastic once you get try it out.
