I think I've started to iron out a bag that doesn't have too many overlapping slots so figured I'd post it here.
I'm 31, lefty and fairly healthy. Typically play 830 ish rated rounds. Current max distance is around 300-320' if I really get things clicking. I consider 260' and under to be my sweet spot for birdie looks on golf lines.
Distance Drivers
- 156g pop top Hades: this only sees use maybe 1-2 throws per round but seems to be the disc I most consistently get out to 300'
Fairway Drivers
- Night Strike 2 FD: my workhorse BH driver straight to hyzer finish.
- DX Teebird: Laser straight tunnel shots or forced anny's.
- '18 Sexton Firebird: I rotate through 2 of these, 1 super beat in and 1 pretty fresh, for hyzer FH or BH with a skip.
- '19 Big Jerm Thunderbird: new addition to the bag. I'm finding it fills the slot my beat in FB does so likely kicking this or the beat FB out of the bag soon.
- ESP Undertaker, primary FH driver, just slightly more stable than the FD which keeps me from accidentally turning it over as often.
Midrange:
Cryztal Wasp: used for most everything inside 250' unless the shot shape dictates otherwise
Jawbreaker Wasp: seems to glide longer than my Crzytal, still trying to learn if this has a permanent spot in the bag. I've been reaching for it when I question if I can reach the pin with my Cryztal.
Mako3: One of my first discs. still seems to occasionally get flight time for straight touch shots or powering down instead of a putter approach but I'm finding it a bit too flippy for the shots I used to use it on.
ESP Archer: Ultra flippy- used for stand-still anny's or hyzerflips nothing else I've thrown late turns the way this disc does. I'll tee shot this disc when I question my forehand distance.
Z Archer: Just a couple ticks more stable than it's ESP twin, useful for those moments my form seems to be failing me and I keep turn/burning the ESP archer. Also seems to get sneaky distance when Hyzerflipped but it's a bit less consistent than my Teebird for tee shot lasers.
Putters:
Firefly: Used for all putts inside 40' or so
Fierce: throwing putter for shots where I want absolutely no hyzer finish although sometimes I struggle landing near the pin because I aim accounting for hyzer and it doesn't. I also find the extra glide helpful for running 50-60' putts. And reach for it on all Anny putts regardless of distance because I can count on it not fighting out early.
ESP Zone: Zone things, BH/FH approaches
Jawbreaker Zone: Trying to beat into doing non zone things aka gliding before hyzer finishing
S-line P2: throwing putter, used on shots that I want the Jawbreaker zone to take eventually.
I've seen some threads where folks keep track of how many shots they use each disc for in a round, that seems like a pretty cool way to see what discs are getting the most air time and which aren't being utilized (and could be removed from the bag. If anyone sees glaring holes in my setup I'd love to hear them!
