Chalupa's Bag Revisited

[Chalupa]

Alright, well, I got my new discs and my bag is full again.

Distance Drivers:
ESP Nuke (174): Maximum distance driver.
Echo Star Destroyer (171): Main distance drive, 400 feet.
Star Wraith (175): Replaced by Destroyer.
Star Sidewinder (175): Tunnel shots, 350 feet.
Z Flick (174): Whenever I'm in trouble, I go to my Flick.
ESP Predator (174): Headwind Driver.

Fairway Drivers:
Champion Teebird (175): My go to driver within 300-380 feet.
Star TL (175): Fits in the same category as my Sidewinder.

Mid-ranges:
Z and FLX Buzzz's (178): The Z is new. The FLX is seasoned. My do-it-all disc.
Pro D Drone (174): Headwind mid-range.
ESP Meteor (178): Hyzer-flip.

Putters:
SS Wizard (174): Any drive or approach shot up to 250 feet.
Medium Wizard: Main Putter.

There are some discs that will be rotating out of my bag once I get more molds of others (Like the Sidewinder, Wraith, and possibly the Predator). Any suggestions what my next purchase(s) should go towards?

understable fairway maybe?

What are your stats (I see some distances listed)?
It appears you have a diverse bag.

Is their overlap with the Nuke and Star Destroyer for you? only asking because you compared the Destroyer to a star wraith.

since you like the Teebird, maybe try some in DX and beat them in for straight/turnover duties. Could probably replace the Sidewinder and TL.

Also if you like the destroyer. do yourself a favor and get some in Pro. They become bomb turnover machines and will go 20-30 feet past your Star. Glide city.

After watching Dan Beato's driving YouTube video. I realized how bad my form actually was. I'm basically starting over with my drive technique. With that, I'm going to re-toll my bag again.

Distance Drives:
Star Vulcan (175): Ordering today.
SDS Star Destroyer (168): Very stable.
Pro Destroyer (175): You guys are right. This disc is awesome!
Elite Z Flick (175): Whenever I'm in trouble, I go to my Flick
ESP 1st Run Predator: Great headwind driver.

Fairway Drivers:
Star TL (175): My new favorite driver. 350' straight shots.
Champion Teebird (175): More stable than my TL.
(Looking at adding an stable fairway driver, like the Eagle.)

Midranges:
Z Buzzz (178): I have two, buying more. I <3 this disc.
Z Buzzz SS (178): Replacing my seasoned FLX Buzzz.
Pro D Drone (178): Headwind Midrange.

Putters:
Medium Wizard (174): Best putter on the market. Buying more as we speak.

Have you thought about dropping the TL? I know it's your new favorite driver and all, but I'd seriously think about replacing that TL with a DX teebird. The DX Bird will need a bit of seasoning but once she's broke in you'll be able to hit those nice long, straight drives with it.

When you say you want to add a "stable" fairway driver, did you mean overstable by chance? The reason I ask is your Champ Teebird should be perfect for that slot. If for some reason it's not and is more on the understable side, you should try to pick up a new Champ or Star to replace it with.

I could see picking either the flick or the pred, they are both the overstable distance driver type of discs. I would keep the pred because its stable at more speeds, whereas if you throw the flick with enough speed or into enough of a headwind, it will flip. I would also think the pred is good for get out of trouble stuff (thumbers, tomahawks, FH's, etc) because mine certainly is.
