Tried a couple different configs the last two weeks. Got to thinking about the old Teebird/PD dilemma. Do I really need TBs if I have PDs? No. I don't think so. I played with mostly just PDs and mids today and I wasn't having any issues getting low straight-to-fade or wide hyzer 280-300' lines with the PDs, and getting them out to my longer range as well (~350).
Putters
Wizards I'm wondering, if these ever go all clover top on me, maybe I'll try Challenger or Judge to get a bit of that worn-in-Wizard magic right away. With 2 years of chains (and, uh, cage hits) these have lost that late cut. It means putting at pro-side chains isn't as forgiving, but they're straight on those 40-60' runs.
Approach/Shortrange Drivers
Proxy has been doing a LOT of good work on straight, tight woods holes/approaches.
Envy is about 50/50 on approach duty with the Proxy, but gets more use off the tee. I've been pushing it out a bit farther, 280 or so, though on higher lines than a Mid.
Zone got put back in. ESP Glo edition. The Honey is great, and I'll put it back in next winter when the snow hits.
Midrange Drivers
X Comet is flippy and touch-y as ever.
ESP Comet picked up some turn. I don't know when it happened, but I haven't touched the X Comet in a couple weeks. I've been throwing a lot of confident shots pretty much on a hyzer right at flood water/rivers knowing that it's going to flip over and carry right all the way to the ground. I thinking I'll shelve the X Comet and put a fresh Big Z or production run ESP in for straighter lines.
Glo Meteor goes in and out of the bag. More power hungry than a Comet and easier to turn than a Buzzz. There are a couple holes here that are shaped exactly like a flat release flight with this disc. It also gives the Leopard a run for its money.
Big Z Buzzz go straight.
10 yr Buzzz has some fade.
Z Wasp is my headwind/overstable mid for BH shots.
Z Buzzz OS is my primary FH approach disc. Easily saved me 3 strokes today.
Fairway Drivers
I'm trying to manage with just Mids and 9-speed drivers. I had a Pro Leopard and S-FD in the bag today, but I didn't throw them.
Utility Drivers
Star Roadrunner, white - BH rollers and big turnover air shots.
Star Roadrunner, blue - fresh. I've beaten some of the HSS out of it, but it's nowhere close to my roller RR. It will hold right if thrown flat, but fades out of a hyzer flip.
Champ Firebird, gummy pearly 12x with dome - BH Firebird.
FAF Star Firebird, trick shots, FH rollers and rare air shots.
PDs
Blue PPD has been lost and returned, twice. Very seasoned PPD. Flies like a good Sidewinder and powers down to have some turn and fade ~280'.
Magenta PPD had a particularly hard drive into a close tree one day. She's a littttttle bit warped, but not nearly as seasoned as Blue. This seems to have resulted in a loss of HSS but no loss of fade. She flies like a good Valk, with some turn and late fade. My favorite driver right now. Weaves through the woods and lands straight out.
Red PPD is a fresh PPD. A bit less stable than I remember them being a couple years back, but that could very well just be me.
Green PPD is a backup for Red because I plan on throwing Red near the Grand River. Green is a swirly natural beauty.
S-PD is for when I want to fly straight into headwinds, FH shots and straight up hyzers. Missing a good chunk out of the rim but has only lost a little bit of LSS.
C-PD handles spike hyzers, flicks and flex shots. Not quite as o/s as my "BH Firebird" but dependable and longer in headwinds.
