I'm happy with every disc in my bag except the Impact and Stratus (could stand to lose the Valk also). They are great discs, I pretty much have every shot covered that I would use them for between my Buzzz-GT and my TeeBird. Would like to try a Wasp and possibly find an overstable fairway driver to complement my TeeBird. I wouldn't mind giving Latitude 64, Gateway, and Millenium a try either just to see what else is out there (just need to stop buying Discraft Misprints!).

what do you mean trash discs?

For me, a trash disc is a disc I don't care about, and I'll pretty much only throw on a hole that usually eats my nicer plastic. Others may use that term differently.

Midnight, what kind of shots do you use the viking for? I traded for one of those, but haven't thrown it a whole lot yet.

Hey I have been debating getting a Drone, I don't really have an overstable mid right now. Whats your opinion?

 

[A.Mutt]

Hey I have been debating getting a Drone, I don't really have an overstable mid right now. Whats your opinion?

The Drone is pretty crazy overstable and has a lot of skip when it hits. Its only useful on shots where you need a hard fade or need to shoot a midrange shot into a headwind. But it does that job incredibly well and dependably so when those situations come up its the kind of disc you'd be glad to have.

Does it turn over easy or could a huck it pretty good.

I've tried to rip it as much as possible and I can't make it turnover. It should have its picture next to "overstable" if anyone ever makes a DG Dictionary.

 

[BrotherDave]

Hey Ryan P. how's that cro working out for you? And yes, Gateway putters are magical, except the Magic which I just plainly thought sucked.

 

[Three Putt]

I can't really throw right now, but this was the bag before I hurt my arm:

Putters
175 g S Wizard (Medium)-main disc for short drives and approaches
172 g S Wizard (Firm)-thrashed close range turnover disc
175 g S Wizard (Eraser)-backup disc I carry mostly becasue the bag is big enough

Mids
173 g Z Comet-my go-to mid
171 g Z Comet-backup
177 g X Comet-turnover mid
171 g Tourney Pro Comet-backup
176 g M Sentinel MF-overstable mid

Drivers
166 g Elite Pro XL-distance drives
166 g Elite Pro XL-backup distance disc
163 g DX Banshee-forehand/roller/thumber/grenade get out of trouble trick disc.
168 g DX Banshee-slightly beat, backup trick disc and headwind driver
171 g E Inferno-high speed driver that I carry so I can prove that I don't need to be carrying a high speed driver.

Easily 80% of my throws were with a Comet or Wizard.

The Wizards often trade spaces with big bead Aviars. Rocs often replace the Comets. Cyclones or Gazelles are sometimes in the bag in place of the XL's. Sometimes I carry a Pro Starfire as my token high speed driver. Sometimes I use a Blaze in place of the Banshee. Sometimes when I carry Rocs I take the Sentinel out and replace it with nothing.

 

[Waddly Hobbins]

Drivers:
173g Z Surge - Long Drive Hyzer and Flex/S shots
173g Flx Surge - Same as above, when I feel like using flx or when its kinda wet out
172g Z Stalker - Still learning this disc, but Extremely straight distance driver

Mids:
(2) 177g Z Wasp - my go to mid, can put lots of snap with out flipping, PREDICTABLE and Accurate
173 Flx Buzzz - straight to anny shots, have to finesse it more than my wasp to not flip
(2) 178g Z Drone - ridiculous overstable wind fighter, or extreme hyzer get around disc

Putters:
173 Flx Challenger - Suuuuper straight anything less than 200' disc, except putting
(2) 174 Soft Banger Gt - Putting , the groove top compliments my putting style unlike any other disc


My doubles are mostly so I can practice some of the molds with out having to go pick them up as quickly. All the discs will see play time during a round easily, except the Drone. The Drone is more of a " just in case" disc. It kinda just sits there in the bag waiting for a 20-30 mph wind day or the rare extreme hyzer shot.

Discs that I'm thinking of adding to the bag:

-Max weight Z Buzzz (looking for something alittle more stable than my flx 173)
-Lat 64 Opto Vision(from what I've heard it's something that should fit me well)
-All I need is an excuse to throw another Wasp in the bag, I love those things.
-Back up stalker.

I was pretty surprised to see so many people with Wasps in their bags. I rarely hear anyone talk about them, it's just talk about the Buzzz (a modified wasp.) What do people think of their Wasps? Use them much compared to a Buzzz (if they have one?)

If anyone has questions about what's in my bag , please ask. I'd be happy to answer.
