Comments: I'm really loving the bag and it hasn't changed much overall. Here's what I'm considering, or would like help with:
You'll notice I have no OS mid. Don't really need it. I can pound the Zone out pretty far, and after that, the Predator powers down perfectly for me. I find the Pred to be an extremely reliable disc in the 200-250ft range, FH or BH, even though I can throw it 275+.
Holes/ problems: The anny/minimal fade/downhill putter slot in my bag is always rotating. I LOVE soft APX's but they beat in waaaay to quick. Tried a SP Reef, not the same. I've tried a ton of different putters here and right now I'm settling on the Magnet. this spot in my bag is one of the most used so it's pretty important. i think I might just rotate magnets for now.
Forehand Distance: I'm slowly learning a good forehand distance drive. With a Predator I can get out to around 250' max, but more like 220 golf D right now. If I throw more than 15 or 20 forehands a day, my elbow hurts quite a bit. Thinking about trying out a 150g Flick? Would a lighter forehand disc reduce the elbow stress and possibly add some D?
Now the big one: reliable, straight Max D. I switched to destroyers just recently (from Nukes) and LOVE the slightly smaller rim. I can throw them further and have better control. I love the 2.2cm rim size. Problem is, the pros beat in Sooooo fast (on my home course, takes only 2 rounds or so) then they get flippy. Flippy can be great and I carry 2 flippy Pro Destros, but my Star DS is a giant PIG.
Will it ever beat in to a reliable, slightly understable/not super OS Max distance disc? It is a domey Bottom stamp. Should I look into another more durable, less OS disc in this rim size (blizzard Destro, teedevil?) I really like the Lace, but the larger rim lead to inconsistent results on the course (flew perfect in the field though).
