This bag has been completely revamped in the past few months, and I'm just looking for anything that may overlap or isn't really needed.
Average/Max distances:
Driver- 360/380
Fairway- 340/360
Mid- 270/310
Putter- 150/170

Distance Drivers
174 SP Rogue (slightly used)- slightly flippy but not quite to the point of being an anhyzer disc
173 ESP Surge (brand new)- on trial, not sure how it will fly compared to my star wraith, but im hoping that I can push it a little further since my wraith is overstable
175 Star Wraith (used)- overstable driver that i can control pretty well for long drives
175 Echo Star Boss (brand new)- just bought, never thrown, gonna be used for headwind shots or shots that need to fade hard left
168 Sparkle Z Force (used)- my max D driver when I need distance over control, will S curve when thrown high and anhyzered and come back every time
175 C-Line PD (new)- Used for shots that are longer that I would use my Teebird on because it throws about the same for me

Fairway Drivers
150 Champ Teebird (new-ish)- tailwind shots and turnover shots (when thrown right; i have a 70% success rate for this). Also for drives I don't want to put a lot of power behind
161 KC Pro Teebird (used)- hyzer flips, forehand flicks (yes I forehand Teebirds) and small s curve shots
175 Champ Teebird (used)- go-to fairway driver on all shots ~350, good with a little hyzer every time
172 Z Predator (new-ish)- my most reliable disc that i can put out anywhere and know its coming back left

Midranges
171 ESP Zone (new)- even though this is a putter i consider it a midrange since i never "putt" with it. Used for extreme windy conditions or short spike hyzers
180 1st Run Star Mako(new-ish)- anhyzer shots or low power straight shots
180 Star Roc (used)- used for more stable shots, not used as much as my Buzzz
177 Z Buzzz (used)- Laser straight for drives, stable and a solid approach disc; my workhorse midrange when there is not a lot of wood around
175 Cryztal Z Buzzz (new)- my less stable Buzzz used for gradual anhyzers that need to end more right (but is still a little stable so it will come back some)
177 Z Hornet (used)- Ace Race prototype that is getting less stable (it is only a little more stable than my Roc). This one is getting replaced for sure, but should I replace it with a FLX Drone or my new Champ Roc?

Putters
175 Soft Magnet (beat to death)- Anny Skywalker, this putter has no stability left in it and is used for long anhyzer approaches or anhyzer drives off the tee
175 Yeti Aviar (new)- main putter (for now, may go back to my Warlock) and also my replacement for my HPP Wizard for a driving putter since I like the flight on the Yeti better
 
If you are looking to change out your hornet for a champ roc. Have you tried the Lat Pain?
 
How does the Pain fly compared to a Hornet? And should I go GL or Opto line plastic? I had my eye on one for a while but nothing has pushed me to buy one yet.
 
To me, Hornet feels like a very different disc than the Roc. Hornet is quite a bit more overstable out of the box and doesn't beat in the same way. The Hornet seems to pick up more and more HSS and gets a great S-curve as it beats in while the Roc just loses it's LSS and goes laser straight.

I personally prefer the XCaliber to the Boss, but whatever you prefer. ESP Surge and Star Wraith are very similar. I would just pick one and replace the other with a new/used version to minimize molds.

The PD and 175 Teebird seem identical as far as I can tell. If you feel a difference, more power to you, but for me they are basically the same disc.

Now feel free to ignore me as you will :)
 
The champ Roc is only a temporary solution until I decide whether to buy a Z Hornet or Opto/GL Pain, so some personal opinions on those 2 discs are welcome IMO

As far as the PD/Teebird thing goes, the PD flies like an overstable TB since it is new but it flies much farther for me and won't turn when I power it down the fairway
