I'm here in Northeast TN.It has been getting hot here too.

The Supersoft Wizards and the Voodoos are the only putters that have a problem with the heat.The Medium,Pro Line and Hard wizards seem to handle it ok.

Looks a little less congested, man Let me know how it goes, especially between the Roc and Buzzz. A seasoned roc and a buzzz should be pretty similar (aside from the buzzz being faster).

Also, I'm willing to bet you may find you don't need to carry all of those Wizards.

-1 Main wizard
-1 Seasoned wizard for jump putts / finesse upshots / turnovers
-1 New wizard for driving
-1 Zone for overstable stuff

^ may be enough to cover it.

Thats the kind of set up I roll with my challengers.

Putters are slow enough that they are easy to shape lines with. So you may not necessarily need 1 new, 1 seasoned, 1 beat in order to actually shape all of those shots.
It's a Innova Competitor's Bag.

It's a really nice bag and can hold up to 23/24 discs.

I was thinking that myself last night before bed about the Wizards.My Oldest Hard wizard will probably work best for all those finesse shots and turnovers.The Evolution Pro Line can cover the stable shots.The Super Soft Wizard I'll keep in my bag.I prefer a really soft putter on upshots.Gives me that good feel on the disc.

The Roc/Buzz experiment will be fun today.

After I finish my breakfast I'm heading that way.Going to play Warriors and Wingdeer today.

I had to cut my disc golf game short today.

I did play Warriors(I shot -14 for 27 holes),but had to pass on Wingdeer.There is a weather front coming in and felt I should be at home when it hits.The storms here lately have been seriously bad.

I didn't get to do the Teebird/Roc test.I would have done this at Wingdeer.

I did do the Pro D Buzz and Roc test though.They hit different lines,but I was parked from both shots at 2 holes.

The Wizard test didn't do as well as I had hoped.One hole that is straight and narrow and at 260ft the beat in Wizard did great.The others not so much.I'm glad I had my Magic with me.The Voodoo I should have brought as well,I'm not very good at jump putting with the Wizard.The Voodoo has just the right feel to it for those jump putts and upshots.

I was finding myself using the Magic over my Comet on some drives.I had great success and birdied the holes.

I did get the Archon out to 405ft and on another shot got it out to 385ish.Birdied one and hit par on the other.

I hit some sweet shots with my Valkyries in the woods.I loves these discs.

All in all it was good day.It stinks that my day was cut short due to the incoming weather.

I'm still working with those Wizards,but it seems that Magic is doing much better for me on those shots.

Been experimenting with a new putting stance and decided it wasn't going to work.Went back to my Avery Johnson stance I've been so good with and started banging chains.

I just found an old Pro Valkyrie in my box of old discs.This thing works much better for me now than it did a few years ago.It kills as a Roller and I parked this one hole I have a lot of difficulty with twice today using my Hyzerflip to anhyzer.

First round was good at -12,then I ended up getting a little tired and shot -6.I had 2 bogeys the 2nd round.

Best thing about today was when I amazed some people throwing my Buzzz 320ft under the basket.

Another thing.I'm done with buying discs.I may not buy anything else for a long time.One part of me says to go out and get some new plastic and the other says your wasting your money. oh well.I like the set-up I have now and my discs in my bag will fly like this for quite some time.

I just made a trade for 2 new ones.Got rid of some of my high speed drivers for a New Discraft Glide and Meteor.Both discs work exceptionally well with my throwing style.

I'm going to be making another trade with my friend.I told him to look for me a Discraft Z Wasp and a Discraft Z Comet.

He likes high speed drivers and I do not.So this will be a win win for both of us.

Once I get those discs I believe my bag will be complete.I will have a new thread(hopefully) on my new completed bag soon.

Also here lately I've been throwing more Mid and Putters rounds and I've been reaping the benefits.Holes that I would throw a Midrange I'm throwing a putter now,Holes I would throw a Fairway Driver I'm throwing a Midrange.

Some guys here at the Local park see my drives all the time and ask me what I throw.When I say a Midrange they pause for a minute and just say "wow' or something in that nature.My game has been getting stronger for sure.

It may be where I've went back to throwing with the 2 finger grip.On big distance drives I've been hitting 390+ more consistently.On shorter drives I've become deadly accurate and have been hitting the gaps better.

Good times indeed.
