Drivers:
173 Gold Line:Bolt:Good
river (primary driver on long open holes when it is not windy, have sent this one 400+ a few times
172 Gold Line Havoc:Goodriver Rotating this in rotating destroyers out. I prefer the feel of Lat64 Gold line over Innova star/champ. Use this one on about 30% of my drives
169 Opto:Villain:New This is rotating in and I'm rotating out a Discraft Force. Used anytime I need to go 300+ over water, or anytime I want to flick a hole.
170 Z-Line:Force:Very Usedriver (See Villain) I use this on very few holes, basically anytime I want to send it on a hyzer spike, throwing uphill and I want it to stick, or throwing over water in windy conditions...
175 Gold Line Striker:New: Long Driver: This and the Rivers below may end up becoming my main drivers, I can send these guys long and straight. 380-400 consistently, but too new to really tell. Wondering if I should've gotten a saint instead?
175 Champ:Sidewinder:Very Used: USe this anytime I need to send something 280-320. Does not seem to fly very consistently; I am considering rotating this disc out sooner rather then later.
175 Gold Line:River:New Replacing a few discs with this. This disc and the striker perform similar for me, use it when I want to go long and straight..
172 Opto:River:New: I like duplicates of widely used discs, seeing which plastic I like better.
175 Champ Teebird:Very Used: Has a place in my bag, flips up for me, probably one of those to use in tight situations etc. Wondering if I should rotate this guy out in favor of the River(s)
175 Star Teebird: New: I like Teebirds, what can I say, I wonder if two of these plus 2 Rivers is overkill? I can send the Rivers further, I should see if I can send the rivers on a short control throw (280 feet) or if these work better for me. have CTP'd MANY times w/ Teebirds.
Both Teebirds only go about 270-290 for me, any more and I start to flip em out..
Mids:
177 Z-Line Buzz:Mid:Good I like to use Buzzz's anytime I need to go 200-250 feet
176 FLX Buzz:Mid:Good This is my orange dreamsicle, this seems to go a bit straighter for me regardless of how hard I rip it.
177 TI Buzzz:Mid:New I like Buzzz's The TI buzzz seems to be a bit more over stable out of the gate, we'll see what happens as time goes on
175 Star Gator:Mid:Good This stays in my bag whenever it is stupid windy, only can really ever get it to go about 220-250 feet. It's a brick and does not seem to skip out too bad unlike the buzzz's.
180 Star Rancho Roc:Mid:New I goto the Rocs for 100-200 foot range and whenever I need it to stick, these stick, buzzz's skip..
175 San Marino Star Roc:MID:Good See the other Roc. This one flares out more then the Rancho roc even though it's more beat in.
175 R-Pro Roc:Good:Mid: Yet another roc at varied levels of beat in. Just depends on the weather as to when I use this disc, and whether or not I'm surrounded by trees.
177 ESP Meteor:Used: I may just yank this one. Dont use it much, and when I do, it does not always fly the way I want it to..I can always flick a buzz to take the place of a meteor.
Putters/Short approach (<100feet)
175 Champion Hard Top Rhyno:approach: I use this guy anytime I am in the trees.
175 R-Pro Rhyno:Average: Primary Putter, beat in well, very consistent trip to the basket
175 R-Pro Rhyno:Good: Just breaking this one in, but i carry and use it when I can, use it as an 100 foot or shorter approach as well.
It seems like i have a lot of potential overlap with the Teebirds/Rivers/Sidewinder/Striker. The Strikers and Rivers fly about the same for me, and I really love the feel of Gold Line. The sidewinder has done me well, but it might be time to retire him, he was pretty beat in when I found him..no name/no number so my guess was it was not a big deal when he was lost. maybe pick up a saint, and use two saints instead of the rivers/striker.
I need to pick up Bolt #2, one of my favorite long discs b/c it's so pretty, and I can control him pretty good too!
Anyway any and all thoughts are welcome.
