Putt for D'oh
Double Eagle Member
Vitals:
Years playing/experience: A bit less than 1 year, played a little poorly ~25 years ago
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH, rotator cuff won't allow sidearm/overhand
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Envy: 250/280'; Claymore: 320/350'+ Mace : 300'/330'; Teebird/Rival: 360/380' -ish not really sure on max numbers but the Golf distance would be holes that are mostly flat I can reach with those discs that are marked at those distances.
* Max distance is the greatest distance you can throw your top 2-3 drivers with any regularity
Optional:
Age: 42
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: Rotator Cuff stuff doesn't seem to hinder BH throws,
Other sport proficiencies?: Lots, not much the last 10 years or so, recently out of shape
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: I like my bag for my home courses there is overlap in some places but I go by what i'm feeling in the moment on some throws on the discs that overlap
Specific areas of desired feedback: First tournament is coming up in a few weeks. Curious about extra discs maybe some redundancy in the bag just in case and also the possibility of high winds is real. Wind is not a certainty but very good chance it will be calm and nice in the morning and howling in the afternoon. No idea anything about the courses, it will be 36 holes set up specifically for this tournament right before hand. Fully expect a wide range of design, all shots might be needed.
Bag:
Drivers (weight/plastic/model/(condition)/use):
175 Icon Rival, (lightly seasoned) First choice for throws 350'+ will hyzer flip, handle light headwind and still fade nicely
175 Star Eagle, (beat) - straight or uphill tailwind shots, tunnel shots first choice if fade at the end is desired. Turnover shots, (overlap with the river on many shots)
175 Star TL, (bought used fairly beat) Hyzer flips straight, choice for long downhill shots or where the eagles fade is not wanted. Doesn't like wind.
~175 Champ Banshee (bought used, well used but still very overstable, pre-numbers) Long flex shots, but I normally default to a PD for those. Headwind shots or strong fade desired.
173 Recycled River (8/10) - Uphill shots, turnovers, zero fade desired (overlaps with TL and eagle quite a bit)
174 Recycled Saint (new) - headwind drives, new "high speed" for me at least driver.
171 C-line PD (7/10) - Flex shots, headwind drives. Don't seem to get anymore distance from this than Rival/Eagle/TL/River so open/flat/no wind it doesn't come out of the bag.
171 Neutron Volt (7/10) - Headwind (thought its starting to not handle the wind as well the more I throw it) High Hyzer lines or long drives with good fade at the end.
Not sure if I like the Volt or Saint more for pure distance, though flat ground, no wind I may still throw the Eagle for pure distance.
Mids:
177 Gold Line Claymore (9/10) - Main Mid, Hyzer flips or drives >250 to ~320
175 Crystal Z Buzzz OS (8/10) - Flex shots, hard fade, heavy headwind out to <300'
178 Recycled Mace (8/10) - fit between the claymore and BuzzzOS. I've been throwing it on some holes with a spike hyzer to beat it in a bit.
167 Recycled Fuse (8/10) Tweener disc between my fairways and mids. straight shots and shorter turnovers, short uphills, or finish left out to ~320' or dead straight no fade hyzerflips. Doesn't like wind at all though.
Putters:
174-5 Glow Wizard, used - main putter 5x keep 2 in the bag
175 Soft Neutron Envy - Main driving putter and approach disc. Anything 250' and under this is the go-to (lost this disc this week... I was thinking of getting a new one hoping for a touch more fade as this one is getting beat. I may buy two a hard Neutron and a Plasma now even if I do get it back)
175 Soft Neutron Proxy - Straight at the basket approach/driver when the fade on the envy is too much or unwanted.
Advice on changes for a tournament? My bag will only take ~3 more discs but I can definitely take more and change out between rounds ~20 discs is possible. I see a lot of people take a ton of discs for tourneys. I have quite a few other discs with slight differences from whats in the bag.
Star Beast and Champ Beast, I think the Saint and Volt are pretty similar but I have out driven the Saint on a calm hole by ~15 feet with the Star Beast.
Star Light Teebird old and worn bought used no idea the weight but it doesn't feel much lighter than the Rival. Metal Flake Teebird, new and a lot like the Banshee but longer with less fade and not as reliable in the wind.
Quite a few distance stuff I bought a long time ago and haven't tried throwing since I started working on form and seeing that I can't throw any of them as far or as accurately as the Eagle.
