Forgot to mention how far I throw. I throw 150' to 200' consistently, fairly straight. I also know I throw with OAT. I am hoping if I cut my bag down to my level, it will help me fix that.
Wished I would have known all this when I started, it would have saved me a few years and a lot of money on noodle arm uderstable discs trying to get a few more feet out of my throws.
No, I had to learn by experience and now the only understable discs I own are a Panther and a Valkyrie that I use for specific shots.
For chits and giggles, I went out today and played a round with nothing but a Judge, Truth, Eagle "X" and a Firebird. Tied my "full bag" best score at my local course. Might have beat it if I had a longer driver for two of the holes where I couldn't quite make it past the trouble spots with the Eagle.
Definitely an eye opener, think it's time to simplify my bag a little.
Is a putter always a putter or just the name it was given?
I generally only want to putt with a single putter but am carrying another for driving and approaches. found out pretty quick that no matter where I place that on the upshot, I don't want to putt with it because just the difference in carry affected how high/low I would pitch at the basket.
What about this:
Discraft Avenger SS
Discraft Archer
MVP Volt
Innova Roc3
Innova Roc
MVP Vector
Innova Aviar
MVP Ion
Pro/Cons of using these in a first bag?
Read the first post! It suggested starting with no more than four molds. You ask about using eight molds in a first bag. That's not exactly what this thread is about (although it might be a good bag).
Pick the four discs that match Garu's categories and start with them. You can add more molds later, when you know you need them.

Okay. So if I bag (for my first 18-hole round) the Discraft Avenger SS, Innova Roc, Innova Aviar as my approach/upshot/lay-up putter, and my Ion as my putting putter, then I should be all set.
That would be similar to my starting bag, although my driver was slower than the Avenger SS. Mine was M JLS (160g), Z Buzzz (max weight), Discraft Challenger for upshots and Omega Super Soft for putts.
Don't overlook the fact that weights really matter when starting out. I chose lighter weight drivers so that I could get them up to speed easier but heavier midrange and approach discs because I got better consistency with my release. Accuracy is more important than distance for those shots. .....well maybe all shots but you know what i mean.
P.S. I could still play a satisfactory round with that bag as long as there was little to no wind.

I think using a speed 6-7 driver like a JLS, TL, FD, Patriot, Leopard, etc. would be better than an Avenger SS. Avenger SS is fast enough that it may me uncontrollable as you're starting out, and then once you've increased your distance it will be pretty flippy. The discs I mentioned above are more useful across a variety of distances and skill levels.
