^That's my bag as of now. I almost exclusively throw RHFH, for the record. I just can't get the power I need with RHBH. I'm working on developing my backhand throw.
I first played about five years ago, but I bought my own discs at the beginning of this summer, and since then I have gotten obsessed with DG. Some weeks there I was going five days a week. I've also been stricken with DAS (disc acquisition syndrome).
I started with a Wraith, a Beast, a Teebird, and a Wizard. The Wraith was my favorite driver, but I lost it a couple of weeks ago and replaced with with a Gateway Illusion. The Beast and Teebird have moved to the shelf.
I'm kind of all over the place with my bag. I mainly want to figure out my driver situation. I am very happy with my Wizards, and I have my Wedge for longer and more squirrely putts. I'd also like to add a little diversity to my midrange selection.
My drivers: as it stands, my Illusion is my default go-to driver. I use my Vulcan for long distances, my Firebird for shorter gaps and windy situations, and my MVPs when I want an understable hook shot. I just got the Sorcerer and haven't gotten to play with it yet, but I imagine it serving a role similar to my Illusion, but when I need a little more speed. I've taken quite a liking to my MVPs, too. When I throw it right, the Wave lands pretty straight on, or I can manipulate it to curve a little more. Moving forward I want to get deeper into the MVP system.
As for my fairways, my JLS is a straight shooter, and the Essence gets a good S-curve. I've hit some long birdies and even eagles with these. I know I could stand to find something overstable in this category.
And my midranges, The Rift is a pretty straight shot, and the Crossbow is a bit overstable for windier conditions.
My putters, as I said, are mainly Wizards, and a Wedge for certain situations. I'm happy with these putters and don't really feel the need to get anything else. The Wedge can also be used as a short-midrange disc.
I want to keep my bag to about 12 discs total, for now. I haven't gotten into organized play yet, but I want to enter my first tournament soon. I'd like to have my standard disc bag locked down before I start.
What should I add? What should I remove? I'm mainly trying to streamline my distance drivers and maybe add a fairway and/or midrange.
EDIT: Just to add a written out list of my current bag (by speed):
Innova Vulcan
Westside Sorcerer
Gateway Illusion
MVP Wave
MVP Impulse
Innova Firebird
Discmania Essence
Millennium JLS
DGA Rift
Yikun Crossbow
Innova Wedge
Gateway Wizard (x2, two different plastics)
