Vitals:
Years playing/experience: 3yrs casual/very bad, second year of trying to improve. (currently my 5th year)
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: RH
Throwing Style: RHBH, utility: FH, OH, short rollers. I have more snap than power.
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Rhyno: 200/230'; Buzzz: 250/300'; Beast: 330/370'
Optional:
Age: 31
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: nothing that affects my throw
Other sport proficiencies?: If I'm on my third Two Hearted, I am a monster at a shuffleboard table!
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: Good selection, I never come across a line and think, "Man, if only I had a _____." Dislike: lots of molds, possible overlap and I can't convince myself to just settle on a setup for a while.
Specific areas of desired feedback: Areas of overlap, discs that might fit certain roles better.
Immediate and long-term goals: I've gained a LOT of distance this year, from an average 280/max 340 to an average 330/max 370'. I'd like to break 400' without picking up anything faster than the speed 10's I currently work with.
I recently got a set of PD's, and they've kicked a few molds out of my bag, and maybe could kick some more.
Here's where I'm at:
Bag: Innova's biggish one.
Drivers (weight/plastic/model/(condition)/use):
??? Champ Beast - used, ugly, very neutral stable, can handle some wind. Main driver before my PD's, none of which fly like this.
171 Champ Beast - beat, has some turn. I used to worm burn this thing, but I've smoothed out to where I can pound a nice S line out as far as the one above.
172 Champ Beast - New, flies nearly the same as the 171, maybe a little more turn.
168 P-Line PD - Hyzer flips, less hyzer for a lot of right movement w/o losing altitude. The few times I've powered it down (not something I usually think to do) it's gone very well.
167 S-Line PD - Hyzers. I was trying to beat this in and discovered I have a very serviceable 250' thumber, so I use it for that too!
172 C-Line PD - Domey, +mold. Kicked my Crush and Pred out of the bag, much better lift than either of them, and powers down to handle most of what I'd use the Pred for.
Fairways:
171 Star TB - Straight/hyzer/lowceiling/flex. I generally don't use my TB's for distance drives.
166 Champ TB - See above. Trying to beat the star more to differentiate the two.
173 Opto River - This guy was my main driver for a few months this winter/spring. I have been focusing on the Beasts/PD's for a couple months and I've lost a bit of touch with the Rivers. Annies, line shaping, the lift on these is great for mild up-hill shots.
168 GL River - A tad flippier, turnover shots.
Others:
172 Champ TL+ - Recently took all the fairway drivers from my stack out to the field and had the longest rips with this guy.
171 GL Saint - New. I like it so far, but I've only had it for a couple rounds.
171 Champ Viking - I've worn the flashing off, so it has some turn now. Extremely controllable and I've had a hard time taking it out of my bag.
Mids:
170 Opto Fuse - new to me, but I immediately found it much more comfortable in my hand than a Meteor and it covers the same shots - made my Buzzz SS obsolete as well. I've had good luck throwing it 70' as well as hyzer flipping it to 300'+
177 Z Buzzz - straight with some fade.
176 GL Pain - overstable mid
178 ESP FLX Drone - Utility. Wind, skip, severe flex shots FH and BH, short rollers. This and the C-PD cover all my OS needs.
Putters:
??? Yeti Pro Aviar - Putter. I need to get this guy on a scale so I can get some back ups in the same weight, it's not the same as my 175 yetis..
176 Opto Pure - stable/understable approach/driving putter
170 Pro Rhyno - Overstable approach/driving putter, headwind putter
