Why two 150's in the bag?
i carry two 150 valks in my bag. different colors for different landscaping. one is beat in more than the other too.
I really like the one you traded me, so I got a new one same weight, in case I send the old one into a black hole. Bought the heavier one for windy days.

After some today it looks like the Vision is going to kick the Avenger SS out of the bag. Not ready to call it yet, but the Vision performed very well for me today. At times it was like it had a mind of its own and it only wanted to help me avoid trees.

Well my dx gator is pretty beat in, so i wouldn't say it has a mean fade. But it still has a pretty nice fade. It's great for shorter hyzer drives and approaches when you don't want to go too far. I love this disc for downhill shots and in the wind.
yes s1rr

I rotate discs in and out of my bag depending on what I feel like and what conditions are like for that day. Today I played two rounds and I carried the following:
Putters:
Innova R-Pro Dart
Gateway HPP Wizard
Discraft Soft Magnet
Midranges:
Millennium Sentinel LF (1.2)
Discraft ESP Buzzz
Discmania GMR
Fairway:
Discraft Z Stalker
2 Innova DX Leopard
Drivers:
Discraft Elite-Z Avenger SS
Discwing Streamline Quarter K
Millennium QJLS
Discraft ESP Force
Gateway Hybrid
Gateway Assassin
I was testing everything out today except the Dart, Buzzz, and Avenger SS. The Quarter K would be nice if it didn't keep getting dinged up. It performed well for me in Texas where there are no trees but when I threw it into a tree dead straight ahead at 200' off, it got a huge dent/gash into it and won't fly the same again.
Leopard keeps fading for me - that's its role for me, so I'm fine with that. Stalker doesn't go dead straight for me but rather keeps fading a bit... I'll beat it in a bit and then it'll go dead straight.
GMR has potential. Will keep it in the bag a bit longer. Sentinel has lots of potential but I need to find a few fresh copies. Force is excellent into the wind and for long flex shots. Also did great on a skip shot with it.
The real MVPs of the day for me were the Hybrid and the Assassin. Wow. Those two discs don't get enough love. Hybrid is a long fading driver that has just enough speed on it to get it to where I needed it to go. But the Assassin was what I was hoping the Stalker would be. Long, straight, with a small fade at the end. Threw it 320' on a dead rope, then it faded about 5' to the left, exactly where I wanted it to be. Great. Now I need to go find Hybrids, which are already out of production and Assassins.
By the way, something must be wrong with me. I threw the Force 400', no problem. But I can't throw the QJLS longer than 150'. It's coming out of my bag now.

They are some beat DX Wraiths that I don't care if I loose.

What is the orc like? i thought about getting one.
Ok, two questions:
1. Why do you carry 16 drivers?
2. Why do you feel the need for 4 putters? What do they do for you?
the orc is basically my go to disc. big hyzers controllable disc, you should really get one.
did I count right, or do you really carry 23 discs?
