As a spectator of this sport, when I see a team that has "larger" rather than "smaller" flyers on the team and they're killing it, I think it looks beautiful!! Visually, for me, I prefer the taller flyer to the tiny flyer.
But I'm pretty sure my daughter would prefer the lighter of the two. LOL
I, too, visually prefer and tend to have more respect for teams that have 'normal' sized flyers. Especially the ones with long legs
My own daughter hit a massive growth spurt this past year and at 5"6, her flying days are over. As a backspot, she's had 5"5 100 pound flyers that squeeze and hold their weight and are as light as a feather, and she's had 4" 50 pound flyers that felt like a ton of bricks. A good flyer is a good flyer, no matter her height or weight. Does she know how to squeeze her core and hold her own weight? That's the most important part.
