How is my bag?

[HumDogMillionare]

Okay so I'm staying away from high speeds besides the one over seven I got for free.
Putters: a 175 P2 that I love, a 168 beat up apx my old putter have as a back up. 175 champ aviar as driving and approach disc
Mid: 164 comet for extreme turnovers, 174 ESP meteor it is my favorite disc goes as far as drivers and pretty much only goes straight, 175 roc3 and it is my main mid because it rides any line
Drivers: 150 beat to death cyclone for no wind and extreme turnovers and leave it in for that purpose, 170 Amp and I'm trying to look for the best possible shots, 168 stalker it does some decent s turns soft fades, a 167 teebird and i can throw it semi straight but use it as a nice fading disc and can forehand it pretty well, and a 150 nuke someone gave me.

I'm looking for a driving version of the meteor thinking it may be a spot filled by a glide but looking for help there. Also don't want to go higher than nine. What should I add and do I have to much overlap in drivers? Also adding another meteor for sure because the disc is so amazing.

You should try to repost using the template post (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums...ad.php?t=31180) so people can give you more accurate suggestions.

Just looking at your discs, though, I would say that the Nuke doesn't really have a place (but you know that already), and everything else looks good. I'd try driving that P2 if I were you. In my opinion, it's a much better driving putter than an Aviar. As far as similar drivers to a Meteor, the first thing that comes to mind is an Avenger SS, but if you do some research, you'll find what you're looking for.

I'd say you might want to drop the Champ Aviar and get a S-P2 for driving with. It should feel the same, but be a little more OS, but will quickly beat in straight like the Aviar. That should help limit your molds.

I'd also suggest adding a OS mid, like a heavy Roc3, any really only use it as a utility. That way it will stay beefy longer.

I think I might try the dx teebird, should I get it in 167 like my champ? Also what would an os mid give me that my roc3 can't hit?

You mention you want a more consistent straighter drive. How are you handling the discs you have now? Can you keep the Teebird and Stalker pretty straight? I came to DG as a ultimate player and I had a lot of trouble when I first started and I didn't have the speed to keep the discs from fading out left real quick. I've got more speed now, but I still tend to throw with more of a hyzer release so I like the undertable discs. My go tos when I first started were my Sidewinder and Valkyrie. I still love my Monarch on some of the longer skinner fairways. And for shots I you want the disc to go left it's good to have some more overstable stuff, but I still tend to stay away from the extreme ones. I've got a 150 weight Bliz Destroyer that I like and lightish Firebird. My favorite distance driver now has to be my Vibram Lace. With the right release it can just glide out forever. It's a bit understable if you through it too flat. I've been playing a year now and some of the discs I used to love throwing just don't do it for me anymore. I loved the Wraith when I first started playing...and also the Katana. I've also been trying out all sorts of putters. That's something that's just a feeling thing. Use what you like...and what feels good. I've tried Wizards, Magics, Avairs, Magnets, Ions, and I'm currently working through the Vibram lineup as I like the way the rubber feels. Just trying to decide what one I like using the best now.

I throw about your same distance. I had a champ Teebird that would fly dead straight with just the right amount of fade at the very end (little over 300' total) but I lost it. I replaced it with a dx Teebird and the first time I threw it expecting the fade, it just continued dead straight right into a cedar tree even though I kept yelling for it to turn.

I have since replaced it with another champ Teebird, mainly because I already have a straight line fairway driver that I love (Polaris LS). I gave the dx Teebird to my son who is just starting because he forehands it pretty well.

I'm to the point where the stalker will go straight with a slight s. if I aim both a little to the to right they fade straight but I'm having some missing link, with drivers when I try to throw straight I generally get hard fade. But when I do get a hard straight drive my teebird just goes. It is also my go to hyzer disc. I really love the feel just I think need to work with it to get it straight.

I don't know what I've done in the last 6 months, but I've improved distance wise by a lot. I think I've just been focusing on keeping the disc close and going across the nipples and focusing on getting that good snap. When I first started playing I was throwing from the hip way to much...I guess that's just how I used to throw an ultimate disc. I was also swinging my arm across more than I was snapping through. Watching YouTube tutorials has really helped me. I don't really know much about the other Drivers your using. I'd still suggest a Valk. I still love that disc...lost both of mine though and started throwing more Vibram. Trying out the Trak in it's place now.

Yeah I think I need to pull straighter through. I think I'm pulling a little high and not getting across the nipples
