Pro plastic going away

The way it was explained to me is, there are two weights targeted.
150 class, and max weight. The weights in between are all mistakes.

Nowadays , mid to high 160 weights seem to be preferred in alot of discs.

It does seem strange to me that they can mold a Candy Valk at 150 grams, but not at 160.
My lowest Champ is a 167, exactly as you said, but I do have a seriously overstable flat 161 gram disc in Star plastic that I can rip as hard as my arm will bear.

I do have to mention one thing though, I'm old and weak and 350' is a killer drive for me, but, my 175 gram Champ Valk flies farther in a neutral wind than any of my other Valk discs with my weak little arm, so Cindy, try a heavier Champ Valk, it might fly good for you too.

I do have a 168 Champ Valk, and I do pretty well with it. I mostly throw it when the wind kicks up.

Thanks to Adam & Nate I have added to my disc collection. I decided to go ahead and give Star plactic another try. I ordered a 162 pretty light blue Star Valk from the Disc Golf Center. Also ordered a 161 glow T-bird. By the way they have some really light glow T-Birds all the way down to 154. I have never seen glow that light before. I will keep the Pro Valk in my bag too because I do like them, but boy they get dinged up fast.
