Going into 2023 I am swinging back to a little minimal though this is still a lot. However I am very happy with what I have going on. I tend to change my bag more often than I practice hygiene, but it would take a bit to convince me to change much now. This is still a lot of molds, and discs. I could functions with less, but frisbees flying is why this game is so damn fun.
TLDR Version. Core discs in bold, that I would carry for a competitive round I want to pack light regardless of the course. (tags, doubles ect). Generally I carry them all for tourneys (give or take a few for backups/wind/course), or carry them all for practice throwing multiples. Explanations below.
Wizards (putting)
Polecat (beat to death long putter, uber flippy approach)
Scale
K2 Berg
Stego
Envy

If you are really bored here is why those are in my bag.
Putting
Wizards: which is what I started last year, and the majority of years with. I have done a bunch of work on the putt, and was putting Berg again for speed control. And Serpents for the same reason, while testing a more traditional putting feel again.
Will still putt a beat polecat for long stand still bids I want to go straight at it.
Approach
"proto blend" Scale: This mold has been in and out a while. I don't like BH the berg, and I dont seem to like powering down Envys.
K2 Berg: My game is built around my FH approach with this disc. I like facing the target and the minimal movement of a simple FH. Berg is stable enough and has great speed control. Been bagging 7 years...
RFF Tarpit Stego: Because when you need it it better be there. RFF Tarpit cause I dont want him running away when we play the mountians.
Driving Putters
Neutron Envy: Been bagging 3 electrons for the last year or so. My glow proxy in my night bag kinda impressed me. So I am starting this year with less discs in the bag. It thinks its a midrange and I like it. Sometimes I wish it didn't though
Neutron Proxy: Messing with it to see if I can cover my beat in electrons slots. Does not late finish right like my beat electron. We will see.
Midrange
Justice: This is one that I threw for glow last season with an LED on it. I have gone back and forth between demon and gila. Justice-Gila covers so much more, except straight forehands longer than the berg, which my flat demon was better. I am working on the Envy to cover that role.
Amber Gila: Almost puts the justice on windy day only duty. Main hyzer approach and OS mid dutys. Wide open shot with any breeze I will likely throw this over an Envy.
Amor Gila: This one is a flatter run that flys a touch faster for me. After a few years of beating on it now it can do fresh stable buzzz stuff well. I use this for my longer midrange shots that have to finish left.
Armor Iguana: This disc is the reason the Gila has completely booted the demon. They just are such a good pair. This disc is a baby chameleon. I can make it do so much. It's flippy but not touchy. It flexes, it holds, it goes far, it powers down... It makes me want to mix up my bag more to give it even more room to work. Envy and Proxy, you are kinda on notice... Wizards may start flying again in your place... you distance isn't needed so much anymore
Origin: When I need to finish right. This was a surprise addition last year. I throw it as well as I used to throw comets, and it is much better at late right finishing shots. I just need to learn it, cause damn it goes far.
Fairways
Armor Komodo: This is my beefcake utility. I am throwing this one for wind, shorter spikes, hopping skips. It doesn't go far, and thats why its good.
Armor Tyrant: Kinda a security blanket. I have almost always had a teebird/instinct type disc in the bag. The tyrant was always better, but I only had 1 and the original ones are no longer ... Well I recently came across a few more someone had stock piled. I use em when I want to go straight a good ways, I cannot risk turn and it has to come back.
Neutron Crave: Fairly beat in. Its for everything that finishes right. Hyzerflips that turn and go right, rollers that go right. Big flat to anny shots that finish right. I don't throw it a ton but this disc in conjunction with the iguana is why I surprisingly don't miss the buzzz, and have so many more options on shot shapes.
Control Drivers
Amber Chameleon: Flippy, but predictable shots. Can shape so much. I love throwing it hard with a bit of hyzer. It flips up, tips gently right and glides for days.
Nylon Armor Chameleon: Firm comfortable feeling. Stable. Forehand or Backhand I throw it for hyzers, hyzer flips, flex shots. If the basket is far but within 400' I am probably throwing this disc. If its relatively calm, and I could have only one driver this would absolutely be it.
Esp Pred: Beat For the OS side of Nylon Chameleon stuff. Wind, controlled spike hyzers. Preds have nice glide for how stable they are, which is great at 5000'+. The komodo is there if I am afraid the preds will glide too much.
Z Pred: Overhands, wind, very spiky hyzers. Security blanket disc. these have been in my bag almost all 18 years I have been playing. I don't throw them as far as I once did, which allows me to lean on my stable chameleon and a touch more hyzer for a lot of stuff that used to be pred land when I only carried 4 driver molds...
Distance Drivers
EP Spirit: Flys like my old favorite spirits. I only have one. Diamond Superglow or an old one off the stack are good replacements. Beefy. Flare Skips. Any scale of wind. Flys shockingly far. (new D and HD spirits have been a bit of a grab bag, but most are closer to fast tilts than these)
SP Hurricane: Max D hyzers, light winds. At 5000' it flys much like a stable destroyer (maybe not calvin beefcake) would at sea level.
PL Hurricane: 2020 Shasta. these are gummy and flippier fresh. My ideal stability for controlled max D since my injury. Hyzerflips into a slight track right when they are fresh. Also my main FH distance disc.
CN Wave: Hyzerflips to max D crusing right. tailwinds. Forehand distance. Rollers.
I may throw a beat xl or something in for flippier rollers on some courses.
I don't use my max D drivers a ton normally, but do find myself using them a bit in tourney golf.
I would love to throw Ballista Pros instead of hurricanes again, although they fly great my release has not been consistent enough since my injury. If I can figure that out, they do fly a solid 25-30 past my hurricanes.
Putting Putters are on trial, but the wizards have tended to treat me best over the years. I think we are happy to be together again.
