My bag doesn't change that often, but there's a lot of discs that I want to try such as a Shark3, Mako3, MD, MD3, FD2, DD2, PD, and Tern. I also want to get as many of either McPro disc there is (Aviar and Roc3), as well as more Destroyers, DDx's, FD's Thunderbirds, and Sidewinders.

Pretty happy with my bag, just trying to settle on a few things.
I was putting wth the Soft Neutron Proxy, love the feel, grip, and flight. But the Spin I love for putting too, just not a fan of the feel or grip (I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't like baseline plastic, which it is only available in right now). I think I will switch to it anyways, and just hope they come out with a thin profile, Soft Neutron or Plasma analog.
I also love the Spin for understable approach duties, so I'll be getting another one just for that.
So...
Putting putters:
Soft N Proxy --> Spin
Throwing Putters / "Short Range":
Understable - Adding in another Spin
Straight - Proxy
Stable - Envy
Overstable - just powering down my Matrix
Midrange:
Understable - Theory
Straight - Alias
Overstable - Matrix
Fairway:
Understable - Relay --> Inspire. Relay is a speed slower and got a bit flippy as I improved my power a bit last year
Stable-understable - Switch
Stable-overstable - Crave
Overstable - Resistor. Might try the Shock here instead, or just power down the Wrath.
I am not unhappy with my fairways, but LOVE every single fairway I've tried from MVP/Axiom, so I'm going to check out the Servo and Clash and see if those mix things up at all. Might have some changes to my fairway setup in '17 if so! I have tried the Signal and love it as a utility disc... Don't always have a need to carry it in my heavy bag, but I might keep it in since I'll have a cart now.
Drivers:
Utility Understable - Virus
Understable - Insanity, but trying out Inertia for this slot as my Plasma Insanity is a bit less stable than I hoped. But the Inertia is a bit tricky for me, I'm trying to make it work but might have to look at another disc like maybe the Wave.
Stable-overstable - Wrath
Overstable - Motion
Distance Drivers:
Utility Understable - Orbital
Understable - Catalyst
Straight-stable - Octane max weight
Distance/Shaping - Octane 170g
Overstable - Nitro

I carry two setups primarily.
Grip A-Series {Full Rounds}
Putters:
4 x Judge (2 classic hard, 1 classic soft, 1 Lucid)
Mids:
4 x Roc (1 Star Rancho, 2 glow DX Rancho, 1 KC Pro Rancho)
Fairways:
4 x Eagle-x (3 DX in various stabilities, 1 Champ)
Distance/Utility:
2 x Escape (Recycled, Lucid)
1 x Monster (Champ)
2 x Tern (Champ)
Nutsac {Bug out bag in the car}
1 x Judge (classic hard)
1 x Roc (DX Glow Rancho)
2 x Eagle-X (DX, Champ)
Honestly will score about the same regardless of setup…but play more traditional lines with the full bag and have to improvise a lot (rollers, flex, fh rollers, oh, powered down skip hyzer etc…) with the nutsac.

Keeping up the trend of less is more in 2017... Rocking 3 discs in the NutSac. The Truth because it's my favorite disc I've ever thrown. And then the Plastic Addicts Habit and Intervention, got to support the local company.

I know everyone goes balls-to-walls with the "carry less molds, with cycling molds" and with my Zuca, I'm around that same point... I have a few DDx that fly slightly different, a few PDs in different weights that can cover most drives, and a few FDs that go from a 300' hyzer shot, to a 400' roller with Metal Flake to G-Line plastics covering sooooo many different shots. Granted... My cart now carries a ton of discs and I'll never use them all in the same round, but I can now cover all shots without having to adjust the bag each round to consider elevation/wind/rollers/temp/utility... At this point, I can have every situation covered and STILL have a seat built in. Happy is me.

Well, if you go down to the cold basement and grab my bag of 2016. A nice grip bag that holds 12 discs and 2 putters.
Here is what you will find:
-2 Wizards for putting. Sometimes 2 Judges make that slot because they are almost identical.
-2 Harps
-2 stable to slightly under stable putters. Always changing as discs break in.
-2 Truths. Two maces grab that spot if I need a strong fade for that particular course or of it is windy out.
-One XXX get out of trouble, crazy forehands, meat hook dogleg disc of choice.
-2 Saints (goldline). two fd's max weight champ plastic go in that slot if it is windy.
-2 PD's. Plastic is based on temp, wind and course.
-One world, or tern for big distance. world if windy. tern if need to go super long and it isn't windy out.

Becoming pretty comfortable with this set up. Have finally settled on my drivers with the addition of the Escape, Renegade and Trespass this year. The Sidewinder has been in my bag for a long time but 2017 is the year of learning the roller so I'm downgrading it to strictly roller or maybe occasional air shot.
Putters:
2 X Wizards
Scale (wind putter)
Throwing Putters:
S Wizard
R-Pro Pig
Mids:
Buzzz (sometimes bag 2)
Buzzz OS
Fairway/Control Drivers:
Patriot
Escape
Felon

Sidewinder

Trespass

Still trying to figure out which way I want to go for a FH driver, used *DS for a few years but can't find multiple alike, rocked trident for a little. Will probably see how the gladiator is when it comes out.
Also looking to maybe re-add a high speed driver later in the year, something that has the feel of a longer culverin, any ideas?

Not many changes from 2016 for me:
Blend Judges for putting, Fusion Judge and Harps for throwing. Also trying out a PA2
Roc3s for mids. Champ glo, bottom stamp star, and DX
Patriot and thunderbird for fairways, will be carrying two thunderbirds this year
Firebirds: my favorite champ one plus a glo one
Distance: D2's for now, two 400s that are overstable and a 170g 400G that is just money.
Understable: right now have a DDx and 166g Archon, thinking about going to a D4 or Cannon/Nemesis (probably Cannon)
Also will be playing around with some other Legacy (Outlaws and their various putters) for the fun of it

Putters
2016 Grip Pure -> 2017 Opto Pure. -> Retro Medium Pure Not sold on the Opto. I have some Mediums that I picked up a while ago for putting that start more stable and have nice grip settle down well on landings.
Fairway/Control
Opto Saint - -> phasing out... No clear replacement for the seasoned opto Saint, though the Seer is getting it done for now. Two saints in different plastic have seasoned quickly once they started to go. I'm hoping to replace this with a Northman cycle, but I'll have to see how BT and VIP season.
these are no longer fighting in 2017
Fluid Saint - Out
TP Stag - In Mostly until I can get some VIP (and Elasto???) replacements. Tried not bagging these for most of last season, but recognized their value as soon as it went back in. S-Curve fairway with reliable fade is extremely useful.
TP Northman - Out This was too close to the Stag in flight.
BT Northman - WAY In I love this thing, so I picked up more of them. Starts off low on glide, but very hss and very low fade. After several rounds its gained glide but is still hss. Hoping VIPs fly closer to BTs than TPs.
Distance Drivers
2x VIP Catapults - -1x Catapult. They lose fade and season into touchy turnover discs. I'll only be bagging them fresh.
