Is it just where I live, or are max weight ESP Avenger SSs hard to find? I've weighed at least 100 from the Clearwater Disc Golf Store and Sunking and have found exactly three that weighed 174. Most of the discs marked 174 weighed 173 or 172. Not one 175g or higher in all these discs. Is somebody hoarding these, am I unlucky, or are very few heavy ones produced? I'm interested in this disc, but it is way to flippy for me to be throwing them underweight. I want a meaty 175g just to have a chance to stay stable, or at least buy some time during the flip from hyzer. Can anyone help me out with answers, or better yet a heavy SS? If it is a weight issue, couldn't they add some Z to the blend to get them heavier? What about making them in Z altogether? (a flippy disc out of the box should hold what stability it has imo)
