So I'm somewhat new to the game and absolutely loving the game and I wanna improve and I've been playing for about 2 and a half months fairly competitive and I have a bunch of discs in all different plastics. I know how to throw forehand and I'm learning backhand slowly. I'm looking to improve my game and would like to know which discs that I have in my bag that I should use or which discs I should buy also what should I buy for a forehand disc. In my bag I currently have the following discs
-Discraft stratus
-Discraft buzzz
-Discraft focus
-Discraft magnet
-Gateway wizard
-prodigy pa1
-Innova wolf
-Innova tern
-Innova roc
-Innova leopard
-Innova aviar
-Innova roc3
-MVP tesla
-latitude 64 core
-Westside underworld
 
How did you get so many discs in two months.. there is a lot of overlap. How far are you throwing? The general consensus is to learn about 3 discs really well and hit about 300ft with a fairway before branching out. I would use the buzzz or roc, leopard, and one of your putters exclusively until you know them inside and out.

You also don't need a specific kind of disc to forehand. You can use any disc for that, but a lot of people throw overstable discs because they usually fade back. That isn't recommended to do if you are starting out though. If you learn to forehand a more neutral disc it is generally considered more beneficial.
 
Yes, you do have quite a bit of overlap there...but lots to choose from, which is nice. If I were building a bag from your discs, I would go:

-Wizard, Aviar, or Magnet (whichever feels better to you)
-Roc, Buzzz, or Roc3 (whichever feels better to you)
-Leopard
-Add a stable fairway to compliment the Leopard, the obvious choice being a Teebird

That gives you a solid lineup to start with. Throw those discs a ton while learning how to shape lines and develop distance, and you can add in new molds over time. Just my 2c.
 
You might want to narrow down your selection. I recommend a Champion Banshee for FH drives 100%. Try to use the Buzzz, Leopard and Magnet (all what I use) to start out with and learn different throws and form and whatnot. But maybe try a more stable fairway like a Stalker, XL or Teebird as mentioned before.
