Enrico's bag

Hi guys!

Years playing/experience: This is my second year, note that playing here is possible only between april and october (well yeah, it's possible to play at winter but I don't like playing in snow and freezing weather)
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH, RHFH, some OH when necessary
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Dart: 230/245'; Vector: 280/310'; Bolt: 330/380'

Optional:
Age: 22
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?:
Other sport proficiencies?: Golf, floorball, icehockey
Additional Information:
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: My distance drivers are a tad too fast for me and I need few discs that can fight the wind. I usually play at my local course (I live 100 meters away from the first tee) and it's by the sea and VERY windy.
Specific areas of desired feedback: I need discs that are more suitable for my skill level, I think there's a bit overlap in my bag.
Immediate and long-term goals: I want to improve my short game. More accurate distance shots.


Bag:

Drivers (weight/plastic/model/(condition)/use):
170 Opto Bolt - was my main distance disc (calm weather) but I lost it yesterday when I was practicing at a soccer field. I'm not sure if I should get another one.
170 Tourney King - I'm not sure if I need this, handles slight wind OK, but...
165 Evolution HPP Slayer - I'm going to get rid of this, not very reliable
168 SP-Line Rogue - straight shots
171 Star Sidewinder - forehand rollers, hyzerflips
171 Star Roadrunner - beat up, bh rollers, big annies
171 Star Eagle-X - slightly worn, my favorite driver. I think this is the most used disc in my back. I'm going to buy a new one on monday.
170 Star Teebird - forehands and hyzers
154 Z Flick - my utility disc, spike hyzers, short forehands, OH

Mids:
177 VIP Warship - straight mid
177 Eclipse Vector - my overstable mid

Putters:
175 R-Pro Dart - short drives and longer putts
175 DX Aviar - my first disc ever, beat up.
170 R-Pro Pig - old faithful, I use this for FH approaches. I don't really throw BH approaches. This is the most important disc in my bag, but I believe it has gone OOP so I need to find replacement.

So I need an overstable driver for windy weather. Flick is way too overstable for distance. I'm considering DGA:s Tsunami. And I want to replace King and Slayer. Also I might need an understable mid, would Meteor be good? I need new putters too.

So, any ideas? Critique and suggestions? Also, my first post here

A meteor or fuse would work fine for understable mid duties. Your sidewinder and roadrunner are overlapping and 1 disc should be able to do both jobs. For distance driver thats a bit more stable try a wraith/surge/flow.

Yeah, I'm propably gonna wait how Sidewinder wears out. Now they are quite different and I use both of them regularly. Meteor sounds good, I might check that out. I have to test Flow too, it sounds nice.

Driver wise, I would looks at 2 different types of discs:
something overstable - firebird, predator, XXX or something else
something a bit faster and slighly overstable - OLF, Orc, Wraith, Surge, even a destoyer

If you want to replace the pig, you could try a Champ Rhyno or ESP Zone

I bought DGA Tsunami to fill the overstable slot in my bag. I dropped out Slayer and Bold and bought Opto Flow, which is really nice and stable. I also bought Opto Pure and Tournament Sword. I really like Pure but Sword feels a bit weird, need to test it more.
