I'm about to buy a bunch of new discs and came accross some ultralights at
http://www.marshallstreetdiscgolf.com/products.asp?id=95
What do you think of these things? Should I have one or two in my bag? They say it is amazing how far the ultralight Ace goes...
Any and all advice will be appreciated. :-)

I have a Spirit, Speed Demon, Ace, Shark, a few Magnets, Aviars, Polecats, & Rocs all ultralight. The're fun for goofing off & crazy MTAs, but I'm relly saving them for my 1-year-old to break the distance record for <4. :D
I've never thrown ultralight but I do have a 150 TeeBird and it does go farther than a lot of my discs (downwind) however it's not as accurate. With too much power it'll turn over and won't come back. With the right touch it can be pretty sweet though.
It's worth buying a couple for yourself. You might just find a new go-to disc for certain shots.
i have an ultralight shark that i first started playing with. its like a 140, and i cant even use it any more. i have tried recently and to get it to fly far, finnese just isnt the word. it has glide, but any wind will blow it off track.
IMHO i think they are useless for anyone over 13, but it probably dosent help that i havent carried a disc under 170g for a long time.
ULTRALITE? My wife throws 114 Gateway Sabres and 118 Lightning F-2 Flyers.!! Thats ultralight.
'course,shes 66.
I've never been able to control anything in the 150 class. Doesn't matter how far I can throw it if I can't control it.
