Jhastie's Bag, mid help please

[jhastie]

Vitals:
Years playing/experience: started 12 years ago, played at least monthly for 4 or 5 years, then rarely until this spring. Joined a league this year and probably get out 2 -3 times a week.
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH, some OH, some RHFH
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Wizard: 225/250'; Roc: 250/275'; eagleX: 290/320' estimates based on local course and measuring throws with udisc in a field.

Optional:
Age: 31
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: My fingers are damaged on my throwing hand, backhand grip is weird but works, but I can only use pointer finger and thumb for forehand. Cannot really get a good grip on drivers with a larger rims than speed 9 drivers.
Additional Information: I was averaging 350' with my eagles when I was playing regularly, I am working on getting back to that. Working on some nose up issues. I am also working to improve my forehand. It is currently good for about 150' with a hard fade.

Specific areas of desired feedback: I am looking for recommendations on a overstable approach/midrange disc for BH and FH. I am also looking for recommendations on a replacement for a beat dx roc I lost today. I had started a roc cycle, but do not have any other beat ones. And was thinking of trying something new.

Bag:

Drivers:
170 dx eagle (6/10) - workhorse driver, shaping all sorts of lines
169 star eagle (7/10) - when I need more fade, backup to the dx eagle. a little shorter though.
170 champion 11x firebird (7/10) very overstable, OH, FH, and spike hyzers.
172 dx firebird (5/10) - goes farther than the other firebird, straighter with a hard fade.
167 champion Thunderbird (9/10) - New addition, I am trying out.
165 pro Thunderbird (8/10) - New addition, I am trying out.
175 champion roadrunner (8/10) - New addition, I love it so far. max distance, turnovers, hoping to learn rollers with it.

Mids:
177 2007 super roc (8/10) - slightly overstable, really only use if I dont think I can get there with my wizard, or I need a reliable fade at the end.

Putters:
175 S Wizard, (5-6/10) - main putter, throw off the tee, and most approach shots
174 S Wizard, (8/10) - New, backup, grippier plastic for when its wet out.
171 Element Wizard (8/10) - off the tee, a little more overstable

I would like to add a very overstable disc, that is slower than the firebird. Was thinking a harp, zone, or maybe gator. I also want to add a neutral to understable mid. But was hoping for some recommendations on both.

OS approach mid - I'd go Zone or Harp (Zone is beadless, Harp has a bead)

Beat Roc Stand in - X Comet

Bag looks good, Eagles are awesome and your using Wizards which means you are doing it right.

That's a really nice bag.

Pretty much mirrors mine except I throw Orcs instead of Thunderbirds.

I throw the Rhyno, but it may not be as overstable as you want. Zone and Harp are good suggestions.

Could try getting both a DX Roc and an X-Comet for your mids. Long life and they only get better with age. I don't care for purposely flippy/understable mids, I prefer to have beat stable ones as I find them to be more predictable. But if you only want one, yeah, it's the X-Comet!

Was going to reply with X Comet for the beat Roc stand-in but it has been done. I own one just in case but have built a nice stack of beat Rocs from many one-disc rounds.

If you want a beat Roc, there are a lot of beat Rocs out there, whether in used bins or online groups.

Mako3 for neutral mid. Or EMac Truth; I had a Fuzion one that had a 0/0-0.5 type flight.

Lots of OS approach/mid options out there. Kinda depends on what kind of feel you prefer: putter, mid, bead/no bead, etc. and how OS you want. Zone, Harp, even AviarX3 feel like one category. Then there's the Verdict/Justice category. Bard is nice too if you don't mind the bead.

Great news had my first lost disc returned to me, luckily a guy in my league found it. The dx roc is back in the bag for now, but it is a bad color that blends in with the ground, so we will see.

I am going to pick up a harp and comet this week though. I read the comet love thread after the suggestions and was sold, so I still want to try it out.

Thanks for the advice.

Bag looks pretty good! Comets are great, I use them to fill in for my roc cycle. But if you ask me, and a lot of others on here, you can't beat a roc. DX, mcpro, kc pro, r-pro. Whatever floats your boat, there are plenty of them. Find one you like and go for it. They're cheap and easily replaceable if you stick to DX as well.
