... i also know it is foolhardy to only have lightweight stuff, 'cause you can't throw it in the wind...

I agree with Emma here. I started out throwing in the 150 range, but what made the difference for me was learning the proper technic, (thanks to Nate). I now throw 150 to 162. My go to driver that I get the most distance out of is my 158 r-pro katana. My midrange discs are also the heavier side, and I putt max weight. Emma is right though about the wind. I found out what works and what didn't work in my bag at team disc golf last month at Bonneville. My more understable light stuff was crap. The disc that worked the best for me in the wind was my champion 157 firebird.
