Odedge's ITB

[Odedge]

After trying a bunch of discs and constantly switching my bag based on the course, I want to focus on learning fewer discs very well instead of many discs not as well.

Years playing: 2.5 years
Throwing Style: RHBH [main], trying to learn a RHFH, Don't throw other shots.
Golf Distance: 325-350 for golf shots | 350-385 for fieldwork or very open holes.
Elevation: Around 1900-2200
Course type: Most courses are wooded with big enough fairways. Some holes are wide open, but not many. Some courses have a good elevation change.

I'd have a lot of trouble choosing a disc in that 9-11 speed range.

I think my arm speed is right around the 9-speed level right now. The 10-speed might give me another 20 feet or so, but on some holes... that's a difference between a makeable putt and a layup.

If my arm speed increases, I will probably get rid of the two 10 speed discs.

Is the Grym the Kastaplast one with the funky rim?

Lots of nice discs in there though.

That's the Rask I believe. The Grym feels somewhat comparable to a Tern in the hand.

Small update now that I have become a bit more familiar with some of the new discs...

Thrasher: I am liking this very much for its straight flight with a little bit of turn that fades to the right for my backhand. I was able to park one of the holes that I normally need to throw an anhyzer BH shot, two out of the three rounds I played this weekend.

Vulture: Flies similar to my Thunderbird and maybe too similar, but it's a nice disc. I will have to throw it more because it might be able to fly a bit further.

FD: Flies basically how I thought it would. Since I lost my discs in this part of the bag, I will continue using it.

Sergeant: I was able to park it on a particular hole and it fills a spot, so this will stay in the bag for the season. I might want to try one in the Fusion plastic as well.

Zone: A better disc for me than my Harp. I only have them in the Z plastic which is a bit slippery in the cold weather. I might want to try an ESP version, but it will stay in my bag as well.

Maiden: Flies very similar to the Shield and Crown that I have used before, but I like the smaller rim depth, so it will stay as well.

I picked up an Innova Bullfrog this weekend and have used it for a few rounds, throwing it very often. This is a great disc for upshots and certain drives. It's also solid as a putter, but I don't like the lack of surface area on the outside of the rim. This is definitely staying in the bag!
