I saw this thread and thought it was awesome. its a cool way for beginners to get input of more experienced players on whats going on in their bag. I'm wondering what you guys think of my current selection. I know its not great, and theres probably flaws/holes/overlaps.
Vitals:
Years playing/experience: approx. 8 months
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: rhbh, rhoh, rhfh. mostly just rhbh though
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: 150/210/280(rough est.)
Distances are rough estimates, haven't found a really good flat field to practice and test this. estimates are based off holes with less elevation/decline. for putter im not sure as I don't really drive my putter, the rim catches my finger a lot and sends it right. this may change though as I am trying out new grips for driving mids and putters
Optional:
Age: 28
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: elbow tendonitis, occasional rotator cuff soreness
Other sport proficiencies?: baseball/softball, football
Additional Information: still learning, be nice
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: I like my current bag, just curious what other people think
Specific areas of desired feedback: anything unnecessary, overlapping or poor choice in disc, shallow rimmed "driving putter"
Immediate and long-term goals: immediate- become more consistent in all aspects, better long range putts, find a "driving putter" that suits me
Bag:
Drivers (weight/plastic/model/(condition)/use):
171 z nuke, used, backup/extra throws, secondary RHFH driver
170 champ sidewinder, used, backup/extra throws
167 star tern, slightly used, main driver for anything longer and straight
167 esp avenger ss, new, similar to tern in terms of use
175 star destroyer, used, main RHFH driver, thrown pretty much only RHFH
Mids:
170 esp buzzz, new, main mid range, used for drives on short holes either straight or with an anhyzer line
178 ti buzzz, used, was main mid range/mid driver til I got the esp. used mainly for s curve drives and hyzer routes
169 dx roc, new, extra throws while im getting the hang of it and its use for me. short hole mid drives
176 dx wolf, new, also extra throws. mixing in with short holes that have a straight line then anhyzer route to the hole
Putters:
172 proton anode, main putter. driving putter when im feeling saucy
I know I probably have 1-2 overlaps in the mids, and drivers. before I got the wolf I wanted a mid I could throw straight a little and have it flip, I got the wolf then a week later got the esp buzzz as a gift. that created an overlap there as I can throw the esp buzzz and make it hold an anhyzer route, the ti does more of an s-curve. the roc I picked up because everyone praises them, wanted to see the hype. I enjoy it but feels somewhere between my two buzzzes(?) so it kind of feels unnecessary.
the z nuke I will probably take out when I find something to take its spot. I barely use it now that the destroyer is the perfect RHFH disc for me.
other options I have laying to the side at home are:
165 ti mantis from ace race, 169 dx valkyrie(found told to keep), 139 blz champ katana(found no info), 177 dx stingray, 175 dx cheetah, 176 some innova mid from 2010 Delaware disc golf championship(found no info), 171 dx aviar
