Vitals:
Years playing/experience: 11 months
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: play right-handed. left-handed outside of disc golf
Throwing Style: 95% RHBH, 5% RHFH (only for short 50-80 foot approaches, because I don't have a forehand)
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Dart: 200/250'; Rift: 240/270'; TL3: 260/300; Ballista Pro: 340/370
* Max distance is the greatest distance you can throw your top 2-3 drivers with any regularity
Optional:
Age: 31
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: None
Other sport proficiencies?: None
Additional Information: None
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: Love the color gradient! Dislike that I have so many midrange molds; wish I had a midrange that was as easy to turn over as the Mirage.
Specific areas of desired feedback: Always looking for overshadowed discs.
Immediate and long-term goals: Trying to get around 400 feet of distance consistently, which will in turn help with accuracy for those 300 footers.
Bag: *Picture doesn't include 2 K3 Rekos and 1 ESP Zone, which go in my putter pocket*
Distance Drivers (weight/plastic/model/(condition)/use):
160 Goldline Ballista Pro, (beat) - workhorse straight to understable distance driver
160 Goldline Ballista Pro, (used but stable) - workhorse straight to stable distance driver
171 Goldline Ballista Pro, (used but stable) - workhorse stable distance driver
171 Poptop GoldBurst Ballista Pro, (new) - for when I need to fight a little headwind
175 SLine PD2, (used but stable) - for when I need to fight a looot of headwind (I live in Texas)
175 Poptop SLine PD2, (new) - saving this to be more stable than the other PD2 once other gets more beat-in
Hybrid Drivers:
164 ESP Anax, (beat) - workhorse straight to stable controlled distance
167 ESP Anax, (new) - saving this to be more stable than the other Anax once other gets more beat-in
175 Poptop SLine PD, (new) - replaced my old Champ Firebird I got stuck in a tree. Just as stable of a finish, but more glide. Used as utility for hyzering over/around trees.
Fairway Drivers:
173 Star Teebird, (used but stable) - overstable fairway distance
166 Star TL3, (used but stable) - workhorse straight to stable fairway distance
171 Opto Fury, (used but stable) - utility standstill straight, or understable to turnover finish
Mids:
171 Opto Fuse, (used but stable) - workhorse low power straight, or higher power gentle turnover
180 Champion Mako3, (used but stable) - straight shots
175 ESP Rift, (used but stable) - workhorse straight to slightly stable finish
177 Z Buzzz, (used but stable) - more stable finish than Rift; straight shots with a headwind
175 Lucid Justice, (used but stable) - same role as PD, but for shorter distances; approaches with a loooot of headwind
Putters:
169 Star Dart, (beat but stable) - straight approaches
173 ESP Zone, (beat but stable) - very overstable approaches; main approach disc
163 Star Mirage, (used but stable) - very understable approaches; basically my cheat forehand disc
171 K3 Reko, (beat but stable) - main putter
171 K3 Reko, (beat but stable) - backup putter
Probably my biggest desire right now would be a longer Mirage. I absolutely love how consistently and easily the Mirage turns over and never comes out of it, but I want the same flight in a midrange for that further distance. The Fury can sometimes do it, but I find it a little too unpredictable. My idea is that a turnover midrange disc will be a little more predictable than a fairway driver at turning over.
