Alright, so I just found and bought some new plastic, and I'm not throwing some of the stuff in my bag right now, so I need some help figuring out what to put in and what to drop. My bag only holds 13 (14 if I try hard) so keep that in mind. A couple details about my playing style are that I prefer to throw understable discs and flip them for distance rather than just throw a flat shot with a fast disc, also, I throw around 360-390'. Here's what I have:

Overstable Drivers
New 167 Star Firebird: This one is definitely staying
New 167 Star Firebird-L: Slightly overstable, don't use it on my home course a lot
Pro Line (old Champion) Monster: Used only for overheads, which I don't throw very often
New 175 Star Destroyer: I don't think I need this in my bag

Stable Drivers
174 Star Wraith: Great for general stable shots
169 Star Wraith: Haven't thrown it yet
Beat 170 Star Destroyer: Flippy and inconsistent, probably dropping this
Slightly Beat Starfire-L: A good general stable disc
168 Star Eagle-X: Slightly inconsistent, but I love the way it flys
171 Champion Teebird: A little more stable and consistent than the Eagle
Champion Orc: Just started using it and I really like it
New 168 DX Orc: Haven't thrown it, don't really have much use for it

Understable Drivers
168 Star Valkyrie: Main distance driver
171 Champion Valkyrie: Slightly more stable than the Star Valk
New 174 4x JK Pro Valkyrie: Haven't thrown it yet
171 Champion Sidewinder: Anhyzers

Midranges
170 DX Roc: Almost every midrange shot
175 DX Kite: Big anhyzer shots and rollers

Putt and Approach
New 168 Supersoft Wizard: I really like the flight but it sometimes bounces out
175 Evolution Wizard: Awesome approach disc
New 174 SSS Proto Wizard: Falls in very nicely, but doesn't fly as far
New 173 Medium Wizard: I don't like this one very much
New 174 Soft Wizard: Average
New 175 SSS Wizard: Softer than the Proto SSS

Thanks for the help

Overstable-
Firebird or Monster. FB bomb on thumbers. I vote FB

Stable-
Teebird or eagle or both, whatever floats your boat.

Understable-
Valk

Distance-
Valk or wraith or orc. I say valk to lower molds if that's what you're in to

Mid-
Roc. Beat that one in then loose the kite

Putter-
Wiz

So I say this from the bottom up

3 wiz- 1 putter 2 thrower(1 OS 1 US)
3 ROC - 1 each Stability
2 Teebird or 1 TB 1 Eagle
2 Valks or valk and a distance mold
1-2 Firebird

You can do 5 molds and 12 or so discs
 
Thanks for the advice, I made a couple of changes to what you suggested, how's this look?

I would drop the FL (give it to ur dog) and switch the E wizard over to the baseline plastic or another mold. (the Es are squirrely imo)

2 cents
 
actually I have an E glow wizard that i just use for hyzer shots on windy days. You can use a new S Wizard for that shot as well, but it has to be rather new
 
if those wraiths dont turn for you, i would drop one as well. and they arent stable, they're speed stable... (which means no no in the wind)
 
If I drop the FL should I put the Pro Line Monster in it's place? Because I think I should have more than one overstable. I can turn the Wraith over a little bit, but it usually fades a lot afterward and doesn't go as far as my Valkyries. What do you mean by speed stable vs. stable? I'm not actually sure if I need the Wraiths in my bag, because I can do just about everything I can do with them with my Valkyries. I really like my E Wizard for longer shots and wind, and mine's not squirrely at all. I also just dropped the Eagle in favor of a new 175 Champion Teebird. I usually carry a lot of molds so this bag will be a little difficult for me to get used to. Do you guys see any holes or things that I should change in this bag?

I also have room for one more disc, so just pick one from my first post that you think would be a useful addition.
 
What's the firebird not giving you?

Just put in 1 firebird and let it beat in a bit, then you'll have disc lick an FL except it will be a lot nicer. Then put in a freshyFX
