Just recently went through a bag simplification and disc trading process. Meaning that I have got more field practice experience rather than complete rounds played with this current bag. My intention is to look through to see if there are gaps in the bag that could be filled at Christmas.
RHBH drives, drive distance 90m (Valkyrie, controllable), hoping to make that into an even 100m before New year. Forearm technique sucks, but improving that can wait until spring. Lots of wooded courses, and therefore some tomahawk throws as well. 150 Champion Leopard used to be my tomahawk placement approach disc of choice (full turn); I need to find a new tomahawk disc from my new bag now. Currently no rollers.
EDIT:
My current bag is a Väinämöisen leipälaukku by Westside Discs. Maximum capacity: 12 discs in main pocket + 1 in putter pocket. However, I prefer not to use the putter pocket in wet conditions, and to leave space for 1 gf's / friend's disc + 1 disc found from or bought at the course. -> 13 - 3 = 10 discs "core bag"; 13 discs "extended bag". I plan to use the "extended bag" in weekly friendly competitions, pair tournaments, etc.
Current 10 disc core bag:
Putters:
171 Gateway Soft Voodoo (beat up) - putt drives & short approaches; I might try a Wizard in this slot.
174 Gateway Soft Magic - putting; I might try 170g Magic because I tend to miss long putts by putting too low.
Midranges:
172 Discraft Elite X Comet - long-standing utility driver for fairways 80m and shorter & go-to midrange
170 Discraft Pro-D Buzzz - understable driver
170 Discraft Titanium Buzzz - recently acquired; for fairways requiring late fades and to compensate for my bad forearm?
177 Discraft Glow Z Buzzz - recently acquired; headwind and long hyzer midrange?
Drivers
(Previously Champion Banshee + Pro-D Eclipse + DX Leopard but then I found Buzzz -> overlap, improved my drive technique, got extra D and changed that into...)
158 NEW Innova Star Valkyrie - overstable
167 NEW Innova DX Valkyrie - stable
169 Beat-up Innova DX Valkyrie - understable
10th disc - "Hyper Max D":
Currently, 147 Starlite Roadrunner for easy standstill / wooded course distance - but that is too flippy and could be replaced ... by e.g. 160s Discmania S-line TD2 Fever or 150s Innova Blizzard Mamba?
11th disc - "The specialty disc":
I have occasional need for a floating disc. I have just recently acquired a beat-up 150 DX Dragon and a beat-up 166 Aerobie Epic in a trade. Undecided as to which one will actually make the bag until I try driving over water in practise with them. My current field practice location is not wide enough to safely practise overhead shots with unfamiliar discs (Epic).
12th disc - "Headwind putter":
170 NEW Gateway Soft Voodoo
13th disc - "The last slot"
175 Discraft Elite Z Comet - so similar to my Elite X Comet that I didn't find a good enough reason to include both in the "core bag"
Reduced bag - 3 discs (for doing a light round, e.g. after school/work):
174 Gateway Soft Magic - could be 170g Soft Magic
172 Discraft Elite X Comet
177 Discraft Glow Z Buzzz - here, a lighter weight Z or ESP FLX Buzzz might be useful
"In reserve" (not in the bag at the moment):
175 Gateway Evolution HPP Warlock - I disliked the E HPP plastic
171 Innova Star Valkyrie - too heavy at the moment, will hopefully eventually replace the 158 Star Valkyrie as my technique improves
168 S-line FD Jackal - So far, I have liked Valkyrie more
...and lots of other discs as well
Goals:
10 disc "core bag" without too many different molds. I want my bag to be maneuverable in local & long-distance transportation without being very heavy to carry.
13 disc "extended bag" without significant gaps.
1 specialty disc maximum preferred. I don't like carrying discs which I don't throw frequently.
Discs I have been previously recommended but have not had the chance to try out:
Gateway Wizard - putt driving, supposedly better than my Voodoo?
Discraft ESP FLX Buzzz - has been recommended for me for wooded courses. Would probably replace either my Glow Z Buzzz or Z Comet?
Discraft Wasp - overstable midrange, supposedly better than my Titanium / Glow Z Buzzz?
Discmania C/D-line TD Rush - as a utility driver with dependable fade; either this or P-PD
Discmania P-line PD Freak - as a utility driver with dependable fade; either this or C/D-TD
Discmania S-line TD2 Fever - as a distance driver for someone with less than 100m distance
Latitude 64 Gold River - as a utility driver (I have previously tried Opto River - it had way too much fade for my liking)
MVP Neutron Volt - as a utility driver once my D improves a little (is this plastic as slippery as the slick MVP putter plastics? I sure hope not...)
Stuff I have disliked:
SS and SSS plastic. I loved how they felt in my hand, but I don't like their fly properties in putt drives as much as the Soft plastic.
E HPP plastic. I do not like how they feel in my hand.
Champion / C-line plastic (and to a lesser extent, Elite Z plastic). Too slippery when wet, and I play a lot on wet grass as-is.
MVP Medium putter plastic. Slick as heck -> same problem as with Champion / C-line/ Elite Z plastic, but MUCH worse.
