My goal for the 2021 season was to incorporate a backhand into my arsenal. Focused on tossing the Gatekeepers, Serpents, and Harp. Used the Fortress for hyzers/skips as needed.
By the end of the season, I'd become comfortable driving out to around 280 with inconsistent accuracy.
Forehand distance up to 360 (previous max distance), from 320, for a golf shot.

Goals for 2022: backhand accurately 300-330, break 400 forehand, learn lefty FH roller for escapes



Season 2022, Start

Distance:
Sword x2

TP; Fresh
TX (21Stinchcomb); Fresh​

Switched to TP/TX for the Swords. Better grip, and the TX is more HSS than most Swords so it should wear to where a fresh one typically starts.

Fairway:
Fortress x3

TP; Seasoned
VIP (17GBO); Worn, Fresh
​

Underworld; VIP; Fresh

Dropped the Origo Fortress since the TP is beat enough I can start a proper cycle with the fresh 17GBO as a bookend.
Added the Underworld as I found myself struggling on uphill drives, needing hyzerflip-to-turn on occasion, and missing throwing distance rollers during the last season.

Mid:
Gatekeeper x3

TX (Nikko); Fresh
TP (19TC); Worn
BT Hybrid (21Stinchcomb); Seasoned​

Switched the Pine for a TX Gatekeeper as a bag simplification as I rarely threw it.

Putter:
Serpent; Eraser; Worn
Baobab x2

Woodland; Seasoned
Alpine; Fresh​

Shield x2

BT Medium; Fresh
BT Soft; Fresh​

Seeing if the Shield can take away throwing duty from the Harp and putting from the Serpents
Consolidated the Serpents and added an Alpine Baobab for Silly Shot duty

Mid/Late Season, 2022

Distance:
Sword x2

Hybrid (22 Stinchomb); Fresh *165g
TX (21 Stinchcomb); Worn

Swapped the Tournament for a lower weight and my favorite plastic; TX is starting to resemble a fresh stock Sword

Fairway:
Fortress x3

TP; Seasoned
VIP (17GBO); Worn, Fresh

Underworld; VIP; Fresh

Underworld is sticking in the bag, don't throw it much but it's been a great fit

Mid:
Gatekeeper x3

TX (Nikko); Fresh
TP (19TC); Worn
BT Hybrid (21 Stinchcomb); Fresh

Suspect x2

Classic; Fresh​

VIP-X; Fresh​

Lost the BT-H Keeper, put in a new one; Suspect added for second shot/long approach duties, liking it so far

Putter:
Shaman; Suregrip; Beat
Baobab x2

Woodland; Seasoned
Alpine; Fresh

Shield x3

BT Medium

Shields are money. Found my putter. Serpents out temporarily as I test the Shield for approaches
Shaman is in for utility understable duties

Serpent (3)

Tarpit; Stable​

Chalkpit; Neutral-Stable​

Shield (2)

2x BT Medium; Neutral-Stable/Stable​

Dropped both the Underworld and Swords as the Northman can cover the uses of each and fits better next to the Fortress.
Serpents back in as the primary putter, Shields are better for longer putts/lay-ups (C2/C3) and approaches
