Do you use your discs as sidearm only, or a backhand only. If there are certain discs you use both ways, which discs are they? If you won't use them both ways, why not?

I use all my discs both ways. You're only hurting yourself of you use them one way.

My overstables get used both ways more than my understables. Though there is a time and a place to FH an understable driver..

I don't normally throw a backhand, but when I do I Sidewinder it.

I carry a Destroyer that's mostly for FH. I don't have the arm for it BH but I like the wider rim for flicks

Most of my discs get the BH or the FH, putters-drivers, understable or overstable. There are a few really deep rimmed mids that i don't use, but everything else gets used.
Most of my bag gets used either way. The main exception is my FireBirds. I almost never use them for BH. But then again, I almost never throw an overhand shot with a mid.
I only use sidearms to get out of trouble. Depending on that trouble just about any disc has the possibility to be used. I would say my gator is used to most for sidearm. Take a hard left turn around the corner and then lands nice and flat 
. I always get asked what I threw when I do that shot.

Everytime i saw you get in trouble you threw an overhand shot and parked it at the basket lol!

Overhands are definitely plan A when I get in trouble
. Sidearms are more like a plan M.

I can throw BH and FH both pretty good. Most of the discs in my bag are for both BH and FH, and some are for BH only and FH only.
