Vitals:
years playing/experience: 8 months / 311 rounds
right/left: right handed
throwing style: forehand (just starting to try to figure out backhand, not much luck so far)
golf distance avg/max: putter- 50'/200' mids- 0'/0' (have none, see bag) driver- 300'/375'
optional
age: 42 coming in Jan
sex: male
injuries/handicap: broke right collar bone years ago (changed geometry of shoulder)
tore right MCL January 2012 (started discing to rehab it)
right shoulder/rotater cuff damage when broke collar bone
other sport proficiencies: bowler, mountain biker, baseball, darts, pool, and snowmobiling
additional information: unemployed for the last year, until last week. Most discs I have were found, unmarked, and I have learned to use to the best of my abilities. Being that I am finally working, I can invest in more suitable plastic in the near future. Also, as I already mentioned, I'm trying to develop a backhand shot (feels unnatural, throwing and footwork). This first year, I decided to really concentrate on my basic throw, not worrying about rollers, tomahawks, etc. I have just recently started experimenting in field training with these more advanced throws. I know the difference between OS, stabile, and US, but haven't figured out when each is best suited for certain throws. I just know how to get my discs to do what I want, make sense?
likes/dislikes about current bag: I dislike the lack of straight flying discs, and mids. I like the Wraith but need lots of room to get most results, especially left oriented holes. see disc descriptions for more details.
specific areas of desired feedback: recommendations for discs to purchase intending mainly to throw forehand with eventual backhand added over time discs to fill in and/or replace holes, overlaps
immediate/long term goals: immediate- a better variety of discs to utilise with my basic forehand throw, which is fairly developed, in my opinion. Long term- to develop more useful techniques, like tomahawks, rollers etc as well as my backhand shots
MY BAG
drivers:
Wahoo- 172g R-pro Innova swoosh, found in the weeds, good condition, nasty water holes ( i have a nasty stinky "Shrek green" lake here that I have played 70 rounds near, go in and the waves bring it to shore)
12x KC Star Wraith Innova swoosh, 175g (I think, not 100% sure) found in the woods, good condition, main driver, comfortable with, and pretty consistent with it
Champion Beast Innova swoosh, 168g, found brand new in a basket, haven't liked it's flight inconsistency, so haven't thrown it much
Discraft Flash Elite-Z tye dye, not sure weight,170ish maybe, traded for used, great condition, really domey, try to use it for drives seems super overstable, fades hard
MIDS: these aren't called mids but that is how I use them
Champion Orc Innova swoosh, again not sure of weight, 170ish maybe, found in the woods, great condition, use more as a mid or if dogleg right, good glide hard fade
Star Sidewinder Innova swoosh 168g, good condition, found in the woods, use as a mid for approach shots, getting flippy
Star TL Innova swoosh, 177g, good condition, found on a trail, use as mid for approach shots, and originally as a putter
Discraft Express Elite-Z, 172g traded for new, great condition, not a mid but used for approach shots, I like the understable qualities in this disc, can flick left with it, can drop it in very nicely
Putters:
(2) DX XD + molds 170g, traded for new, 1 beat, 1 good condition, primarily putting. Field trained last week backhanded with these XDs and threw them as far as most of these other discs forehanded
