Some of you may remember me, but it's definitely been a while since I've posted or been active. I'm hoping to get back into disc golf more seriously now that life seems to have somewhat settled into a better routine. I am looking for a couple additions to the bag but honestly I don't even know the new brands, let alone what and how the discs compare. I'm not looking for flavor of the month, more like the standout discs from any company to research and try out. Here's a little background, and what my bag currently looks like:
I throw RHBH and RHFH. I can consistently reach 425 with RHBH but have been working on footwork more with results. Have not measured yet this year. RHFH used to be a solid 400' but it's dropped off hard, and is a goal of mine this year to focus on bringing back the sidearm. I've had nothing faster than a destroyer/force in my bag.
-Wizards, two for putting and approach, one premium for upshots and drives. These will stay.
-Ron Russell Comet, and two backups in the garage. Finesse and control.
-Tangent, Axis, Tensor. Just bought the Tensor and swapped the other two back into the bag. Previously Two X Buzzz, a DZ Roc, and KCPro Roc for a variety of stabilities. I really like the flight of the roc but I cannot stand the rim. It's the only thing I dislike about the comet but I have not found a true replacement of the Comet with a shallower rim. I struggle to find a midrange that can hold it's line in the wind and not drop like a zone or drone. Hoping the Tensor will fill that slot with better glide and speed than the zone.
-Zone. A Jawbreaker and an ESP. Used for zone things. These will stay.
-MVP Volt. One in the bag, one backup. This is my go-to fairway driver. Between this and my PD, they take care of most shots under 400'.
-Amp. Threw this in recently for some fairway turnover.
-PD. S and C. Beat in S and (getting beat in) C. The S is starting to turn over and when thrown flat gives me a nice slow turn and predictable fade.
-Old Plastic EliteZ Flick. Used for flick things. Hard fades, forehand cut rollers, general utility.
-Star Wraith. Beat up and ready for either a replacement or a new one to start taking some abuse. My most consistent S curve distance disc. Throw it on a hyzer for a long sweeping S.
-Force. One really beat up ESP, another nearly new Z Force. Distance and overstability.
I lost the only destroyer I had in my bag recently and is part of the reason for this post. Rather than just going back out and buying another destroyer, I'm looking for viable options. I'm playing around with mid ranges and distance drivers. I loaded my bag up with some MVP because I like the feel of most of their discs and they were sitting in the garage.
Wizard, Zone, Comet, Volt, PD, Flick are all staying. Thoughts welcome.
