McGhetty517 new bag for 2012

McGhetty517 · #1 05-05-2012, 12:32 AM

My bag has changed a ton since last summer, heres what I've got.

Drivers:
Champ Roadrunner 170- got it to replace. A lost champ roadrunner but not getting the same results.
Champ Eagle unknown weight or mold- pretty beat in flies straightest of all my drivers
Star Teerex- Just picked it up today flies straight but seems overstable in the end of the throw

Mid-Range:
CryZtal Z Buzzz: straight flight no turn at all
Esp Buzzz: has turn in the end
Pro Shark: Starts out straight and turns about halfway
Pro Roc: after dyeing it it became concave but has a sharp turn right on the end

Putter
Star Aviar: straight flight comes out a little fluttery
Pro Dart: starts straight becomes flippy

Im sure the majority of my problems are coming from technique issues but I would like some feedback. Thanks

How far are the drives going? What are the weights on the Buzzzes?

All my buzzzes range between 174-177. The roadrunner since its new to me iis only going about 225. 275-300 on the eagle and about 250 with the teerex..i also throw left hand back hand.

Drop whats in red and pick up:
Pro Leopard (to compliment the Eagle)
DX, JK or KC Aviar (for putting duties)

I was told putters are all about feel

The Teerex isn't a very consistent mold at all. If Innova were to give some of their molds the chopping block the TR would be a first ballot candidate. For starters, it has some shady mold identity issues (i.e. there is a Teerex X and a Teerex L mold floating around). This was one of the first discs that was supposed to be a faster Teebird and failed obviously. They start out pretty beefy and are good for OAT laden FHs but when they wear in they can actually become worthless in a headwind. I highly suggest you drop this if you aren't in love with it.

The Roadrunner is a pretty good distance driver for people with small distance/bad form. It's fast not a warpspeeder and the understability is good for n00bs, giving you easier distance while keeping you honest and hopefully not strongarming. I'm guessing your new RR is flying more overstable than your old one b/c the latter was good and seasoned. Give this RR some time to break in is my advice.

If your Eagle flies quite straight, chances are that it's an EL mold.

If it's an EL, that's great. They're like a faster Leopard and very underrated understable fairway drivers. Pick up a fresh Eagle X in lieu of the TeeRex and you have a very solid driver line-up. If you have a beat EX, just get a fresh one and start the magic of cycling if you like that mold.

I really like your mids but I'd minimalize it a bit. The Shark is like a poor man's Buzzz but I'm not crazy about it. I'd either beat a Buzz into uber flippy and cycle Buzzzes or use a very Buzzz-like understable mid over the Shark (and Roc). Fuse, Meteor, Squall, Buzzz SS, and Axis are all pretty good molds for stable-understable shots. I'm not a big fan of carrying a Buzzz and Roc together, they're too dissimilar in shape and speed and too similar in general stability for my liking.

Putters are really personal so I'll just say what I like best in my putters. I use a Summit for actual putting b/c it's very manipulable and comfortable for me. Ions get my throwing duties b/c they're very HSS, sneaky long, and in Soft plastic make driving in the woods much less stressful (i.e. don't carom off trees 100 ft into the rough). So basically, my driving putter I can throw with power and my putting putter I use for finesse. A lot of people can use the same putter mold for both but I've found that my choices work the best for me AFAIK.

Cheers
