what's the best weight for distance for a golf disc?

without any mumbo-jumbo about arm stength or accuracy or wind etc...etc. I just wanna know whats the best weight. I guess what i might be asking is what dics weight provides the fastest terminal velocity?

Update:

its like a frizbee

Update 2:

tyler im not so sure about that....What im more concerned about is the way it glides through the air and the balance of wind resistance and mass. if the disc was made of concrete it would drop like a stone, so to speak..but if it were made of paper it would float away. what point in between is the best is what im asking?

    Without a huge arm or power i would say 167 would be your ideal weight. If you feel like your maxing that out or you're turning over the disc (the disc turning to the right and fading into the ground) then go to a heavier weight. In the end it is the heavier discs in which will fly further with a lot of power.
