Build the worst 5 disc bag, and I'll compete with it.

I'll be playing some events over the winter.
To test the impact of discs on scoring, I'll play an entire tournament with the worst five discs y'all can come up with.
Rules:
1 putter, 2 drivers, 2 mids
No two discs with the same flight
No Stegos, discs only
 
Putter: Rattler
Mid: sub 150 pro d buzzz
Mid: ultra star
Driver: pro d heat
Driver sub 160 pro d force
 
Putter: 10-meter brick
Mid: 124g Sonic
Mid: UltraStar
Driver: Epic
Driver: 125-130g Condor

This one looks interesting, but...
Condor's more of a mid isn't it? And Sonic more of putter? I could be wrong, have no idea what they're labeled
 
Garrett Gurthie and Climo known to throw Sonics for approaching.
Maybe swap in your choice of Lightning driver discs from Gotta Go in the 140-160g weight range for the Condor although the Condor does qualify as a driver from the standpoint of rim configuration.
 
The Stego is too good to be on any terrible disc list.

Here are my suggestions;
Putter; 10m brick or RIP Graboid
Mids; Antidote, DX Wolf, Tensor
Drivers; Groove, Daedalus, and whatever that Gateway driver with the bead on it is called.
 
No two discs with the same flight is a pretty broad term.

I imagine if you have 5 really understable or 5 really overstable discs, it will definitely affect your scores. Not a mix. One spectrum or the other

Especially the US bag. Form has to be dead on and hope for no wind.

OS bag will have no finesse but may be useable with a good Forehand.

Also depends on the length of the course you play.

Not exactly sure what you hope to find out or why you actually want to do this?

Any Lightning brand disc... #1 driver, #1 Flyer, #2 slice, #3 hookshot, and a #2 upshot for putting.

thats incredible

so what 5 discs would you choose
 
Just buy one of each from lightning discs. But if we're using popular brands...

Putter - DGA blowfly (the plastic)
Midrange - MVP Vertex (this one i haven't thrown but I hear it's not very controllable)
Midrange - Prodigy M1 (hand feel is disgusting)
Driver - Innova Star Monster-X (uselessly overstable)
Driver - Discraft Crank SS (uselessly understable)
Driver - Prodigy D6 (uselessly understable, weird rim)

There are probably worse discs out there, but to spread the love I picked different manufacturers, and the Blowfly.

Because I'm bored, and I want to see if your collective wisdom can make a significant impact on my scores.

I could have been more clear about the flights. I'm simply trying to avoid having two discs that do exactly the same thing. A 130 dx shark and a 129 pro d buzzz for example.
 
Frisbee Putter
Frisbee Mid Range
Frisbee Turnover
Quest Diablo DT

Yeah, I know I'm missing a mid. Just pick one. Next to the rest of these, it'll be the only disc you use.
 
Putter-Arrow
Mid-150 Rattler
Mid-180 Drone
Driv-165 Illusion
Driv-black 175 Ape
 
I'm not even really sure there are discs that can be considered the "worst". I think what really makes a disc bad for someone is their unfamiliarity with it. Thus, any disc you're not familiar with would probably lead to bad scoring.


I personally hate the Westside Sorcerer, but you might think it's the best driver out there.

To recommend which discs are worst for you, we'd have to know what models and weights you currently throw.
