Whats in your bag......the 2011 edition!

172 S Wizard well seasoned; main putter
172 S Wizard used; back up putter,upshots, drives, forehand upshots
174 S Wizard new; hyzer upshots; extreme wind putter, headwind drives
172 S Voodoo; accidentally made it into bag often used for dead straight drives and turnover drives

180 flat *Mako used; straight to turnover mid (anything too risky for FR Mako)
180 FR*Mako; Same as above but a bit more stable
180 2009 *USDGC Roc; Stable mid hyzer finish and headwind mid
180 DX Rancho Roc seasoned utility mid

175 DX Gazelle Beat; turnovers
172 CFR glow Gazelle; love Gazelles but the Eagles really rule this spot, I do use it for powered down drives and fairway shots.
175 SEX well seasoned; utility driver, super straight, hyzer flips, headwind turnovers, forehands
175 flat 12x (feels like 11x) Eagle L slightly used; beating this in and fills a slot between other Eagles, Anny flexes LOVE ELs!
171 11x Champion Eagle X; headwind, overstable, strong hyzer finishes, stable forehand shots, skips pretty well, too stable to Anny flex

175 Champ SW used; turnovers, hyzer flips
175 11x Champion Firebird; headwind, over stable
175 Pro Wraith Nice and beat up; tailwind distance, hyzer flips, big S shots
175 Pro Destroyer slightly beat; headwind distance, same shots as wraith but into the wind
175 Pro Destroyer Brand new; Overstable distance

things that may or may not ride along depending on the course, weather or tourney;
180 2006 USDGC Champion Roc; More stable mid for windier days
175 Pro Leopard beat up; super straight, turnovers
171 *TL trying this out and may take a spot from a less stable Eagle OVE TL's too!
175 Pro Katanah used; uber distance, tailwinds, even long hyzers
175 FR Nuke used; kind of competes with the Katanah but has some differences to have both; uber distance, drive with a straight finish with little fade
175 *Xcal nasty huge winds; takes new Destroyer slot on days it blows stink
 
pretty close to last year:

Glo Nuke
this is the day bag, for night time

Main differences from last year: dropped the Meteor (got too overstable, funnily enough), Ridge (nothing wrong with it, the JOKERi just has the advantage of being Finnish) and the Vision (I'll dig up that occasionally though, it's just too much fun)

I'm really liking the IONs and PDs. The PDs are just amazing. I'm also trying out a DD but so far the PD is better for me, dead straight and long. I also sneak a JLS in there occasionally.

I've slimmed my bag down as I've learned that I need to master fewer molds rather than experiment with many. Here's this season's batch, along with the comedy and tragedy:

Putters:

175g Supersoft Wizard - Mildly beaten, used for putting, which I do badly. And often.
175g Soft Wizard - Newer, used for driving and upshots. Occasionally to putt with when user error activates gross SS Wizard malfunctions.
175g R-Pro Rhyno - Windy putts and approaches. Flop shots. Badly misjudged hyzers watched by horribly shocked but resigned eyes.

Mids:

172g Z Comet: Straight shots and annies. Sometimes hilariously turned over due to OAT-powered idiot arm.
173g DX Roc: New, trying to beat up. Currently used for every shot I can rationalize. Making all other discs jealous with its smug confidence. Likes trees.
175g Z Hornet: Heavy wind, spike hyzers. Occasional harsh left turn into surprise obstacle (usually car).

Drivers:

175g Champ Leopard: Regular ol' drives, flip hyzers when they work, big annies. This is my chicken disc, as in "I'm too afraid to try something else."
167g Star TL: Dead straight drives. That is all.
166g Champ TBird: Distance drives, anhyzer flex shots, predictable finishes. Sometimes, predictably, into the frickin' pond.
172 Star FL: Headwinds, big left turns. Rarely used; generally feared. The Firebird laughs at my incompetence.
171 Star Valkyrie: Max distance, for someone who can throw a spastic platypus farther than a specifically engineered scrap of high-tech plastic designed to do my bidding.


That's what I've got. It's not much, but my sexy Fade Gear camo bag goes with everything I wear. Except plaid. Or stripes. Or conflicting patterns of modern camo, especially that new digital stuff.

Switched back to one putter mold. Was loosing confidence on putting because I was questioning which putter to use.
 
Do you guys with ~30 discs in your bag really throw that many in an 18 hole round?
Is that something that comes with experience?
