how do you know what shot to pull out of your bag for the shot?

Close your eyes and grab one.
:thmbup:
Joe's Flight Chart comes in handy as well..which is kinda like saying, "learn your discz".
First you identify the least risky flight path then figure out which of your discs and shots (backhand, forehand, overhead) that fits that path.
Playing rounds with limited discs will help you figure out what lines each disc is good or bad for, and spending time trying out different shots in a field without the distractions at the course can help too.

Try using the shortest disc that'll reach the target. I throw mostly mids and putters.
after playing for 38 years?
how are you able to throw anything besides rollers?

Just carry one bottle and one shot glass to narrow your choice.

It ain't the years, it's the miles. He11 I'm surprised when I can get 200+ of air. That's why the mids and putters.
hows your roller game? thats what all the super ultra uber grandest masters around me throw.

you may also want to consider the percentage of your ability to consistently execute the shot and the risk/reward of a given shot based on your lie, desired line, and disc you want to throw.
Go out and test fly your discs, and then make a chart that you carry in your bag, like this one. I tried to PM you this, but it said you mail box is full. You need to delete some messages:
Down/up Hill?
Wind strength and direction?
Distance?
Direction -- left/right turn?
What's left and right of my line?
What's under and over my line?

Well, my chart was just an example . You can take it much farther.
I write all my info on my discs:

If someone breaks into your truck, your bag is probably going to get stolen but I think your discs will be left behind.
So I'm curious. As your discs beat in over time and their flight characteristics change, do you acetone or Magic Erase the flight arrows on the discs to reflect their most current lines?
Also what is KFC? Is that a Colonel Sanders mold? I bet it's finger lickin' good.
Its a Star Coyote, but I call it "KFC" because of the dye I have on it.
