Many brands—like Innova, arguably the most praised disc-maker—offer their discs in a variety of different weights, broken out into grams. In general, lighter discs typically fly farther than heavier ones, though heavier discs can stand up against head winds and provide stability in windy conditions that might affect lighter discs. For optimal throwing distance, look for discs that weigh around 160 to 165 grams, but it’s always a good idea to have a heavier disc as a backup. As for putters, most golfers prefer a heavier disc to improve accuracy and avoid wind disruption while flying the shorter distances you need as you approach the hole.
