Wanted to make this thread to keep track of the development of my bag, and also would be happy for suggestions/feedback.
Vitals:
Years playing: DG 4 months - no prior frisbee experience
Right/left: Right handed
Throwing style: RHBH, RHFH
Distance: I max out around 260 with my fairways on golf shots/round play, a bit shorter with mids and putters.
Additional info: Currently working alot on form and consistency. My biggest problem right now is OAT on my backhands resulting in alot of turn and burn, especially with my throwing putters.
Regardless of my current low level of playing I compete in the local winter leagues, and plan to attend a few local events next year for fun and learning. So the bag is built for that purpose, and these discs are not necessarily the only discs I do fieldwork with.
Bag:
Drivers:
168 Star Destroyer Wysocki, new - Only use this for a specific tomahawk hole at the moment.
175 Sexton Firebird, new - Utility, out of trouble, skip shots. Rarely drive with this one as it's too fast for me.
D-Plastic Guru Sleipner, beat - Understable speed 10 driver in base plastic. This is my turnover bh disc, or long flex tailwind shots.
175 Star Teebird Avery Jenkins, new - Trusty straight driver which always fades. Probably my most used fairway right now both FH and BH. Especially with my OAT-problems, I can still trust this one.
171 C-Line FD, new - I got this one to try alongside my leopard3. Turned out to be a bit more stable and have a bit more left finish at the end. I use this for straight-ish shots where i don't want the teebird finish. On days where I OAT-turn my leopard alot this gets used in the leopards place.
175 G-Star Leopard3, used but not beat - Straight flex shots with a very small fade at the end, almost none. After I started struggling with OAT I don't trust this one as much, but I still use it where I need to, for example where I really don't want the fade from FD or Teebird.
Mid-Ranges:
178 Lucid EMAC Truth - The only mid I bag right now. Used for longer upshots, mostly bh but some fh as well. I really like the feeling of this disc, and would like one in cheaper plastic that I can beat in a bit faster.
Putters:
BT Hard Harp - BH overstable approaches. I really like this disc for bh throws.
Pro D Zone - FH overstable approaches. I like this better FH than my Harp, so for now I am bagging both.
175 S-Line P2 Sky God, used but not beat - My main throwing putter and my main fieldwork form disc as well. I use this for dead straight shots in the woods and alot of my upshots. Struggling a bit with it these days, with my form issues, but when I throw it correct it flies beautifully straight and lands very soft.
175 D-Line P2, used but not beat - I bag two of these for putting only. I have one that I am working in to be a understable turnover throwing putter, but haven't gotten there yet (I don't thow anny lines very good yet either)
Discs I am considering bagging:
170 Star Roadrunner, new - As the Sleipner was my go to far-thrower before it got too flippy, I am considering putting this in that slot. I am going to try some of my buddy's somewhat beat in speed 9's with some turn this weekend, specifically DD Escape and Getaway to see if they would fit better. My Roadrunner honestly needs some beating in, it's actually a bit more stable than I thought. But on days where I do throw it correctly on the field it gives me a long beautiful flex line, so it's not very far from going in.
A new mako3 - This was one of the first 3 discs I bought back in september when I started playing, and I really loved that disc. Unfortunately I lost it. I later bought a star mako3 for my girlfriend, and since I can't bag that one, I will probably buy a new champ one soon.
Harp in different plastic - I am not 100% sure that BT Hard is the plastic I like the most. I need to try some other plastics before I decide.
Zone in different plastic - This one I am quite sure I want to change/add. As the Pro D beats in (quite fast) I guess it will develop some turn and lose some fade. So as soon as I know if I like Z or Z FLX more, I will buy one.
So.. That's it for now. As I said, suggestions and feedback are very welcome. I am eager to try different molds and fill the holes as I see them coming.
