Normally I would make suggestions but with the tourney coming so soon I would only say stick with what you are already comfortable with...you need to the ins and outs of every disc and have confidence in what it will do for you! Also limit your bags weight you will def not need 25 discs in one tourney

2nd this emotion.

Take out any disc you don't know very well, make sure your putter and midrange game is airtight and have fun. You do have a lot of discs but just make sure you don't have so many that you're second guessing yourself a lot. But yeah, you don't want to make a lot of changes before a tourney.

^^ wow feel privledged to have such a following! Finally gave some good advice:thmbup:

My only comment is wow that's a lot of molds! Seems like you'd have a hard time choosing for every throw, but do whatever works best for you. Go conservative on your game - pars with the occasional birdie is always better than trying to be a hero and getting 5's and 6's because of taking risks.

is it a bring your own partner or random draw doubles?

i would like to make some recommendations but stick with what you are doing with the upcoming tournament, as suggested above. definitely take out anything you are not 100% comfortable with.

Stay relaxed and take your time! If you make a bad shot early in the round, don't get dejected and let it spiral out of control. Regroup and focus on having fun and throwing good shots. Also, you're a lefty, so you're a coveted doubles partner for the ~90% of us that are righties.

As for the discs, you have a lot of good things going on there, but there is too much of a good thing. Stuff that is new, and serves no clear purpose, like the Vector, Beast, Trak, Z-Pred, and Starfire could all come out. You don't lose anything in terms of shot making ability, but you do eliminate the possibility of throwing something you're unfamiliar with and making a clumsy shot during a tournament.

Is this for the Dubz event at Tully tomorrow?

One throw at a time. Don't even think about a shot until you are done with the shot you are on. If something goes wrong with a throw just remember that every great save was set up by a bad shot!
