This might be any disc, but it really is aimed at the higher speed drivers that have only been available in higher weights.

So, the question is: If we could make these light weight Champion discs, would anyone be interested. Assume they feel and fly the same as heavier discs of the same type.
you would have a big market in geographical area with higher altitudes for those kind of discs.
on the flip side, i found the same discs i throw here in utah which are lighter weight champion (160-165 gr) dont work at sea level, literally, unless with a tailwind. so if you make even lighter champion discs i imagine everyone living at altitudes higher than, say 3000 ft would love something like that. i know i would. and yes the older i get the lighter my plastic is getting.
