I will try this here and see if it is the same as there.

NoLifeLeft said:If you can pick up pretty much any disc and adjust in the first couple of holes, I think that will just make you better at disc handling in general. This is esp. difficult for the player that releases everything flat.

#1 - Doesn't need make sense. One could view this thread as electronic chewing the fat, shooting the shit, etc etc.
or
#2 - Make your own sense. My choices were three discs which I have not yet thrown, which I would like to throw, and which I believe would make a viable three disc bag. This still makes little sense for others so see #1.
Frank Delicious said:Some people are probably not as set on their bag as you Mark and many of us try out new discs all the time. Usually it is just one or two discs but it is a small leap to play a whole round with 3 unknown discs. As for other benefits besides fun, I would argue that a person has to learn disc manipulation and line shaping when trying to play any decent course with 3 unknown discs. Right now I can play my home course in my sleep with my tourney bag but my practice bag is full of discs I don't throw as much or just started throwing and I have really had to re-examine how I throw some holes because I don't have my money eagle or roc with me to throw on the hole. I have found new (and sometimes better) routes on holes that I hadn't thought about before I played the course with unfamiliar discs. I have learned to throw a couple of new lines I haven't had to bother with because I didn't have my fall back disc with me. I learned confidence in more discs and shots because, again, I didn't have my fall back disc with me. Plus, by playing rounds with discs I haven't thrown before, I have found some good discs that have made the tourney bag (SOLF, Comet, VP).

So the productive part of getting drunk and screaming at your opponents is....?
Mark Ellis said:So Frank, (can I call you Frank?) you are saying I cannot keep my Discraft sponsorship if I want to throw a Striker. Let me think about that. Ok that is enough time. I am good with that. No, no I am really good with that. Do I have to sign anything?
