Here's my bag.

Years playing/experience: DG 4 years; 6 years of Ultimate
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH and RHFH
Golf Distance (avg/max) 275/325
Age: 23
Sex: m

Here is my current bag:

Putter:
180g Star Aero

Mids:
175g Z Comet
175g ESP Buzzz

Drivers: (Understable to Overstable)
134g Blizz Katana
165g dx Leopard
? Pro D Cyclone
? Z Avenger SS
172 Z Nuke SS
171 Z Stalker
170 ESP Nuke
? Z Crush
131 Blizz Destroyer
175 Star Xcaliber
? Z Flick

I mostly drive with the stalker or leapard, Stalker for straight shots and Leopard for hyzerflip or flex. I just got the 2 blizzard discs in hopes that I can save my arm when I play 3 times a day. I can't throw the katana without flipping it unless it's an extreme hyzer and I haven't even tried the Destroyer because I got it an hour ago. I know I probably don't throw nearly far enough to need the nuke or nuke SS. The Xcal and Flick are probably overlap.

Yeah, not really. Even if you can't get discs like this up to speed, sometimes it makes sense to throw them if you have a lot of tunnel holes where you need a low line and lots of skip or something.

The Xcal and Flick can overlap if you're using them both for O/S utility purposes. An Xcal is actually a pretty good warp speed Teebird if they're broken in (have a little bit of turn sometimes though). It's one of those molds that people think is really O/S b/c they don't have the arm for it until they watch it flip pretty easily in a decent headwind. If you're worried about wearing out your arm, I prolly wouldn't throw a max wt Xcal a lot. I'd prolly try dropping the Xcal and seeing if the Crush can take over its shots and keep the Flick for what it does best, crazy skips and OH and spike hyzers and stuff.

You've got some overlap in your control driver department. I wholeheartedly recommend trying a premium plastic Leo in place of the Stalker for the sake of mold minimalism. Or, an ESP Cyclone, your D Cyclone, a Champ/Star or max wt DX/Pro Leo and your DX Leo would set you up plenty for control drivers.

Also, I think you're a weirdo for putting with an Aero.

I agree with BD, but I have a tip that may help you to throw that super light blizzard katana: Throw it with about the same amount of power that you would your putter. If the uber-light destroyer flips way easy as well, I would say to pretend about the same.

I use the Xcal primarily for FH shots and occasionally for a BH in a headwind. The Flick is really only used for spike hyzers.

Funny story: when I got the xcal a month or so ago I started trying to replace the crush with it, simply because it is orange and easier to find than the crush, which is green.

I probably will try to replace the stalker with a premium plastic leopard. I also think I'm going to get rid of the cyclone altogether; there is nothing it can do that my leopard can't.

Should I keep the Avenger SS? It seems to have the same shaped flight as the leopard just a bit longer.

I've tried an aviar and a banger and didn't like either. And the Aero was the first disc I owned so it has some sentimental value.

I got some work in with the blizzard's today. I love the destroyer. It goes super straight with a nice fade at the end, and 25-50' farther than any other disc with 75% power. Still can't get a handle on the Katana....I'll try powering down even more.

Yeah, those blizzard discs have to be thrown with like all wrist or something, you can't strong arm them at all.

The A-SS might be cool to have if you beat it in nice and good and use it for a super flippy utility disc.
