Drivers:
174 ESP Nuke(good) - Huge Distance, straight FH
165 Z Avenger SS(good) - Rollers, Annys
168 X Avenger(worn) - Turnovers, control drives
171 FLX Avenger(good) - Long hyzers, distance FH
174 Z Predator(good) - Spike Hyzers, distance OH, Meathook
176 ESP Predator(excellent) - goes farther with a little extra glide compared to my Z one

Midrange:
177 CryZtal Buzzz(excellent) - Main Mid
178 Z Drone(excellent) - Spikes, meathook mid

Putters:
174 Soft X Putt'r(gooD) - understable putter
174 D Zone(worn) - main putter, approach as well

I also have a Z Stalker that i use for my main fairway driver. I'm currently looking into teebirds instead because of the greater difference in weights and plastics. I have an X buzzz on the way for a straight/understable midrange. All comments are appreciated :thmbup:

well the first thing that seems obviously absent is an ESP meteor. you have both stable and understable drivers & putters, but only a straight and a stable mid. think about a meteor both for turnover shots, but also hyzer-flip applications to achieve a stright landing w/o fade when you have a tight channel to stay in. ( on a longer term note, i would ditch the zone putter and look at a pro-D challenger, at least until i see Doss, Emac, Koling etc, switch from it ) i use a D-challenger for putting and love a cryztal Z challenger for shorter approach shots. then you keep the same feel instead of going between a zone and X putt'r

3 things:
I would a neutral/understable mid (your X Buzzz sounds good)
Find a more standard putter (Aviar, Challenger, Magnet, etc), unless the Putt'r is for putting
Drop the Nuke for a few rounds and see how your bag feels.

I agree with some of the other comments. I think you're missing an understable mid. A comet, meteor or fuse would work well for that.

Also, I would suggest geting a standard putter. I used to putt with a rhyno (very overstable like your zone but with less glide). Since I have switched to a more standard putter (Wizard) I have been making many more putts and with much better consistency. My comfort range (95%) has moved out to 15 feet and I have been making twice as many putts from 16-35 feet. An Aviar, Wizard, or Challenger would work. I have never been a fan of having 2 different molds for putting. If you want one for anny putts I would suggest getting 2 and beating one in instead of having 2 different molds.

try some lighter preds/nuke. better distance/glide and easier to throw at your power level.

thanks guys, will definitely be experimenting! Now my bigger question is about switching from a stalkers to teebirds. do i need teebirds or will what i have suffice?

Avengers should cover your teebird shots assuming you can power down.
