Icarus's First Bag Check

I'm just going to follow the format as best I can. One thing I'm looking for currently is a good disc for mid-range turnover shots (like a flip to mild turn shot that holds the turn rather than coming out of it or continuing to turn and die into the ground). I'd also like a good driving putter with a shallower rim than the Aviars. I love the flight of a putter, where it'll just go straight until hitting the dirt.

Years Playing: 5
Throwing arm: Right handed
Throwing Style: RHBH and RHFH.
Age: 30

Bag/Distances. I don't have weights, but I buy most of my discs max or near max weight. The numbers after the discs indicate the following
Disc (max D I would consider throwing on a flat hole / max D I can throw the disc).
Goals: Mainly 2 things, I guess. Throw 500' reliably and work up to an average of 1000-rating. Main weaknesses currently are putting (always) and shaping anny lines or shorter turnover lines where a forehand can't be used.

Putters

  • 2 DX Aviars (300/320'). Mainly putting. I'd like to drive with putters more, as I like the flight)

Mid-Ranges

  • Star RocX3 (320/350'). Straight to fade or mild hyzer shots. Forehand straight/fade shots.
  • Champ RocX3 (320/350'). Straight to fade or mild hyzer shots. Forehand straight/fade shots.
  • Champ Mako3 (300/360'). Slightly beat. Tunnel hyzer-flip shots, anny shots. Short forehand straight shots.
  • Champ Mako3 (300/360'). New. Same as before, slightly less understable.

Drivers
  • Star Teebird (375/400'). New. Straight long shots and shorter straight to fade. Also hyzers. Also mid-range forehand straight and hyzer shots.
  • Lucid Escape (400/430'). New. Very understable. Long distance turnovers, shorter distance S-turns or hyzerflips.
  • Champion Valkyrie (400/430'). New. Surprisingly stable. Long distance mild S-turn, long-distance hyzer-flips. Mid-distance anyhyzer shots that come back. Also great for straight-to-fade forehands (300')
  • Champion Firebird (350/375'). New. Stupidly overstable. Wind or spike hyzer disc.
  • Star Destroyer (425'/450'). Slightly Beat. Hyzer shots, hyzer-flip to S-turn for max D on the course. Longest forehand disc (350' max or so, mild S-turn when thrown on slight hyzer).
  • Halo Star Destroyer (400'/425'). New, stable. Long-distance wind disc, or straight to fade distance shots where I can't afford a disc to turn over.
