Hey dudes, here comes another steaming one down the pike -
I tossed a Star Rhyno in the bag for my last round to sort of complement my Mortar - the mortar is fast and relatively mellow and glidey for an OS mid (highly recommend run 1.5), and the Rhyno is the opposite - slow as anything, low glide, OS putter flight.
The Rhyno to me is confidence incarnate. Something about the feel of the thumbtrac and big bead in my hand gives me the distinct feeling of "what could possibly go wrong here?"
I think I am going to roll with this config for now, over bagging just Zones or comboing the Mortar with another slow OS option like an AX3.
The question then becomes - I lean on the Proxy quite a bit lately, and occasionally I want the extra control of something between a Rhyno drive and a Proxy drive. So, do I go with an OS Proxy i.e. an Envy? Or a less OS Rhyno i.e. a beat up DX Rhyno?
In the same vein, in general if a chunk of your bag consists of a stable disc and a less stable disc of different molds, how do you try to fill that gap? With something similar to the more stable or less stable option - like picking up a domey champ sidewinder to fill the gap, or beating in a pro thunderbird for example?
Assume you donate all your discs and start fresh with 10/10 plastic off the shelf - the discs you rely on the most will start to shed stability first and quickest. They will likely outpace and overtake the discs in the stability slots below them, and boot them out, assuming you prefer a well-worn familiar disc over a fresh one that flies the same lines. If you lose your well-worn go-to disc, no big deal, just put that fresh disc that it initially booted back in the back until you naturally wear in another of your favored disc mold.
I would suppose if the above holds true, it's probably best to fill gaps with a less-stable version of your OS mold because as the gap filler transitions in and out of the bag, it would be less jarring because it's replacing or being replaced by a similar but more worn disc.
