I've been playing dg for just over 12 years. In the beginning I tried every single new disc I could and bought the latest fastest new driver as soon as they came out. I was looking over my bag last night and I realised it's remained unchanged for about 5 years.
I also noticed all my molds would be considered pretty slow by today's standards, jls, firebird, leopard, roc, spider, wizard. In trying the new discs I found they weren't a real improvement over the older molds. In fact in most cases the added speed equaled less control and accuracy. I've played a few tournaments and placed top three in all of them. My stragedy wasnt to be the best it was to make the least mistakes. I think slower, more controllable drivers are great for this.
I'm wondering if others are doing the same thing and is it working? Have you kept the same molds over time, do you throw older molds, I won't use the phrase old school as who is to say what's an old school disc in a sport that is hardly three decades old.
