All of this goodness is tucked safely in a brand spanking new Lat64 probag

[Mrlastway]

Did a 3 disc round on a short course today using my KC aviar, Spike and Axis and fell even more in love with the axis. Would anyone dare suggest another disc for a Pain/Axis/? combo?
Any input anywhere would be appreciated.

[JeCroisQue]

I would say a GL fuse would be a nice understable compliment to the pain/axis combo if you are looking for something like that.

[Frosty]

Pain/Axis/Fuse would seem to cover most anything

[Mrlastway]

It's a bit sad but I think that the core is going out then... A great disc but it becomes superfluous with the others in there. I guess it gets to hang around for a while before it goes out completely.

[BrotherDave]

Yeah, Axis and Core would overlap a lot. Pain, Axis, and Fuse will cover it all pretty easily.

Man, you've got a lot of molds. I'd straight up drop the Archon for a Pro Destroyer and the Pro Teebird and XL for a DX Teebird b/c Pro TBs aren't great and rare and DX TBs are pretty good. That's a lot of putter molds but you've got to fill up that Lat pro bag somehow, right?

[Mrlastway]

To be honest I didn't use the Archon today even for the turnover shots so it might drop a bit sooner than I thought since one of the star destroyers can take a long nice turn at full power. I'm not worried about the pro teebird though, I'l keep using it till its trashed or I loose it and replace it with another teebird, perhaps a dx one or a really beat in champ, when that day comes. And the XL in almost allready out since I dont trust it to do what it should... perhaps I need a dx teebird allready.


About the puttermolds... they are used for very different shots and they go quite differently except for the KC and yeti aviars which will be all kc aviars when my putter discs get slightly more beat. The spike is more of a finesse understable disc perhaps close enough to be replaced by the fuse but I don't trust that one yet since I've only had it for a few weeks and sometimes I can feel it slipping a bit. And the zone is the only putter that I can put max power on in a headwind and know it will stay within 70-80 meters and not flip over, not to mention the forehand bit.

[Mrlastway]

OLF and XL out DX Teebird in.

[Mrlastway]

I finally have to admit that the grip on the kc Aviars aren't the best för putting. I get pointers nearly every day that my grip seems to slip a bit making my putting irratic. And that from putter that are way more consistent than myself. So on that basis I've ordered 2 soft wizards that should be stiff enough yet a little bit more grippy to potentially replace the kc/yeti Aviars completely.
