Awesome choice. I love the Ibex.

Drop the Nuke, you don't have the arm for it. And maybe go with a slower overstable driver in place of the Starfire. Maybe a Champ Teebird.

you say you need slower drivers, you might wanna look into a xl or stalker (both speed 7) for a good straight flying discs that doesn't have to much stability, or even an xs also speed 7 if you want a little less stable then that. i also think that a teebird could be seen as a essential, its only a 7 speed. the valk is a speed 9 the starfire is a speed 10 and the nuke is a speed 13

that nuke is way to fast for you.

If you're looking for slower drivers, I would recommend a lighter weight (<170) Pro Leopard and DX TeeBird. Both of those should allow you to bench all your current drivers for now.

I believe you're confused about your terms. A Flying Squirrel would be an anhyzer disc. Maybe you meant hyzer flip? Squirrels excel at both.

When it comes to putting, your best bet for improving is practice. Especially if you like your current putter.

Here comes my broken record advise for improving form...Pick up a <170 Elite-X Comet. It is a very slow and neutral disc that will expose any form flaws you might have. If you throw it flat in calm winds, and it does anything but fly perfectly straight (will travel beyond 300' with good form), there are flaws in your form. Record yourself throwing (if you have access to a camera) and post it in the Technique and Strategy section of the forum for advice. There are a ton of helpful people here who will have you really pushing your distance beyond where you are now while giving you control as well.
