It's interesting to see that Tracey has those discs in her bags. I would had thought she would have some heavier discs than the 150s. She is an excellent player.

I am a much larger woman with quite some muscles in my arms so I tend to go towards the heavier discs (160s) and it feels comfortable with those in my hands.

My partner is learning her area of strength - which happens to be the forearm! Wow! She can only play when her back is not bothering her - so I'm happy when she can play!
In her bag?

150g Innova Sidewinder

Steve who is your girlfriend? Guys who post for their sig. others please post names or screen names, so us other chicks can know who you are talking about. This may be a really good way for more chickflickers to be brought into the fold. Like for monthly chickflicks, and our big tournament later this summer.

LegoRules... I use 2 laptops, a mac and a pc, just about all the time, so I can be a little fast, hence my nick name, SNAP, for the very exact reason...
And to answer Mystjava.... It took Tracey, my fiance', a long time to get down to these discs.. While I was still learning the weights and flights of all the discs, Tracey was throwing in the 165-170 range and it was not working at all, we decided to drop her down to the 145-162 range per a professional's advice and she has become more consistent. Even her putting game as improved with the 18g drop in putter weight. Even the women that I have played with, i have taken Tracey's 2nd 150 putter and replaced whatever 170+ putter they were using and they could tell the difference easily...
Men and Women cannot be compared for size and strength as they are developed internally very differently from each other. Men can throw heavier discs based on their anatomy, their muscles and their ability to coordinate more torque/snap to throw these discs in GENERAL.
Also, one thing I notice is that a lot of people try to throw every disc 100 percent to get the results they want and once they drop down to 90 percent, the disc goes hard overstable... to me that means they need to drop down the weight and stability of the disc... going all out everytime just to get that flight pattern you want will wear you out fast and lead to many overstable flights. Again that's just me from observations with Tracey and myself... My son throws 128-132 and that is quite heavy for him although he can get it to fly beautifully but would be better if he had some 100g discs...

[Mystjava]

Ahhh.. That's cool that Z's throwing some good discs! Glad to hear that.... Of course... I've noticed it also which is why I am trying to bring most of my discs to the lower 160's instead of the higher 160's. :-)

[Susie Sunshine]

Cindy - try that Roadrunner out on your anny throws. I think that disc will hold the line better for ya than the Sidewinder will.

My bag's current lineup:

150 DX Destroyer - only used on holes where I need that hard fade at the end or a big S
150 DX Starfire - beat, used for anhyzers, super flippy.
161 DX Starfire - my go to driver
161 Champion Starfire - this one's on "trial" status in my attempt to switch over to Champion plastic. I'm not sold on it yet.
165 DX Valkyire - short tight hyzer shots mostly
175 DX Cro - approach and midrange
175 DX XD - putts

158 champion Gazelle
154 champion Monarch
150 pro Teebird -L
150 Dragon

164 champion Shark
161 Star Kite

I think I need to thin down my bag a little and start switching out depending on which course I am at, that seems like a ton of discs. Everytime we go disc shopping I pick up anything I can find in the 154-162 range, that is my prefered range and they are so hard to find.

I love seeing what other people are throwing and learning what I can most likely find in the weights I want.

[ptld2001]

I'm trying to figure out what I should be throwing, as a ground zero beginner. I'm very short (5'2"), and at least used to be 100 lbs dripping wet. I now weigh much more than that, but it's not muscle, so it's actually a detriment. I'm currently throwing my husband's 150 Dragon. I've been looking online for children's discs, and haven't found anything local. I'm thinking that maybe I should be throwing more like a 100 or something like that. They have seen some unweighted kids' discs (if I recall, the roc and the polecat), but I haven't found anywhere that gives the weight. The problem I'm trying to solve is that I currently get no distance. I'd say my average drive is about 30 ft. Do you think a lighter disc would help me with my distance? I tried Next Adventure, and they have some 139 putters, but I doubt that would help me any with my driving. I thought I'd try to get some advice before I order a children's disc blindly online.

[Ms Thing]

There are lots of lighter disks then 150 (and for your referance all dragons are 150 and float), my son has a full bag and I have tried to throw quite a few of them and found them too light for me.

His lightest is a 119 Roc he got it in Portland from Disc Golf Depot, he also has some discs in the 130s and 140s, those are all either Innova or Lightning, he does have a really light Buzz but it was just a special run.

Do you only have a Dragon? Any midrange or putters?

Let me see if I can find you any links.

Well, the dragon isn't even, strictly speaking, mine. It's my husbands, and I've temporarily appropriated it. I'm trying to figure out what I can throw farther than 30ft before I buy anything. I wish there were some way to try before you buy... So, how would you know if a disc is too light or too heavy? I'm assuming that if you can't make it go, that probably means it's too light. As of yet, I've found no need for midrange or putters. Since I don't throw over about 30 ft, then everything is, by definition, a putter.

[Ms Thing]

Ok here are some

Drivers
Cobra starts at 124, I would suggest around the 136 (that is the weight that my son started throwing when he was 6) http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=50

Roc starts at 119, I would think about the 145, you can go lighter but as soon as you get your throw down it will be way too light for you. http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=26

Archangel at 148 http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=20

Gazelle at 146
http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=55&PPQT1=29

Midrange
Shark at 134 and up, it is a midrange disc so it should be a little heavier, maybe 146 http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=30&PPQT1=19

Kite starts at 150, my first mid range disc and I still really like it, in fact my son picked one up last time we shopped and really likes it too, lots of float http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=170&PPQT1=19

Zippyboy also has some ligher weight discs for sale. He picks them up from Disc Golf Depot for people that live up in our area. I can check and see what he has tonight.

[Ms Thing]

You will find that you will want a midrange and a putter to help control your close shots. Even if you can't make it go very far you can really help your game if you can control them.

How close are you to Leverich park? We are going to be out there tonight playing and both my son and I have discs in our bags. That is a good way to try them out .

Also the chick flick, think of all those light disc that people will have that you can try.
