Vitals:
Years playing/experience: A decade of playing casual, and a few years of being more serious (but still not competitive).
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: Right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH and RHFH (Backhand preferred for body wear and tear, but I've got a decent forehand I'll use when appropriate.)
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Pilot: 240/260'; Buzzz: 260/285'; Teebird3: 315/335'
* Max distance is the greatest distance you can throw your top 2-3 drivers with any regularity
Optional:
Age: 38
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: Nothing too bad.
Other sport proficiencies?: Nothing really. Biking.
Additional Information: Posting mostly to track for myself.
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: I like that's it made of boring, replaceable molds.
Specific areas of desired feedback: Not really posting for feedback, but I'm happy to commiserate with anyone.
Immediate and long-term goals: Push over 350' consistently with Thunderbirds.
Bag:
Control Drivers (weight/plastic/model/(condition)/use):
Firebird - Premium Plastics - >170g - Anything that needs to fade hard and I can't reach with a Zone.
Thunderbird - Premium Plastics - >170g - Max distance driver.
Fairway Drivers:
Teebird3 - Premium Plastics - >170g - Placement shots.
Leopard3 - Premium Plastics - >170g - Shot shaping and tailwind shots.
Mids:
Buzzz - Premium Plastics - >175g - Distances between Pilots/Zones and fairway drivers.
Zone - Premium Plastics - >170g - Almost any shot 200' or less that isn't intending to go into the basket.
Sol - Premium Plastics - >170g - Mostly utility shots in the woods.
Throwing Putters:
Pilot - Premium Plastics - >170g - Anytime I need something straighter than a Zone.
(Occasionally, if I'm carrying a really full loadout, I'll also include an Envy/Proxy combo.)
Putting Putters:
Link - Exo Soft - >170g - Only on shots I intend to go into the chains.
Additional Fieldwork Discs:
Valkyrie & Undertaker - Practicing angle control with drivers. (So I don't create too many bad habits throwing too many birds...)
Mako3 - Practicing angle control with mids, and making sure the OAT is under control.
General notes: I consider this a pretty boring bag. Discraft mids and Innova drivers. Easy to keep multiples of all the molds on hand. The Sol is likely the least common disc, and I only really carry it on wooded courses. I really only use Pilots as driving putters because MVP/Streamline seems to be one of the few companies that can (semi-)consistently churn out premium plastic putters with board-flat tops (and Envys seem like too much Zone overlap for my standard bag). I only recently got enough arm speed to justify swapping Thunderbirds for Valkyries. I love my Valks, but Thunderbirds are more predictable on the course. I bounce around putting putters too much still, but I am currently enjoying the Exo Soft Links a lot (like a slightly shorter/thinner Wizard).
