[Other] In the bag videos

Cant believe the amount of flame in this thread... For those who did link their bag videos thanks. I'm sure everyone learned a bit here from the criticism. Ill upload a vid of my bag tonight or tomorrow
 

Oh lordy, I like what's in your bag! With the focus driving putter situation, I switched to Wizards. Feels the same in the hands and a little more stable. Also it comes in EVO plastic which has held up well for my driving needs with a putter.

Also, beautiful Venom and Avenger SS


After Xmas I may make an in the bag video, if I get that camera I put on my list that my family mulls over. If not, I'll get it myself and make one later down the road to post here.
 
Some thoughts for people posting in this thread. I hope this is viewed as constructive criticism because I really do mean it!

If you are making a video, tell us what shots you would choose the disc for. Saying "this disc does what I tell it" isn't super helpful. Or saying "always comes back" about 9 different discs in your bag isn't helpful either.

For example, if you have a roc and a meteor, don't say for both "always comes back", that doesn't really answer anything. Now, if you do have one OS mid and the reason you throw it is because it always finishes left, that's great, but that shouldn't be your answer for every disc. So, if you have a Drone and a Fuse, saying, my drone is my OS mid, it fades back on hard midrange shots and off the tee, that is perfectly acceptable. It is also acceptable to say my Fuse is my turnover mid, it holds anny lines really well or I can hyzer flip it and have it finish straight or right. This is also useful. But for both discs saying "does what I want it to", doesn't really enlighten us on your play style or choice.

Also, saying "this really bombs" or "i can crank this" about all of your discs is also not informative. If you say it for one at the end because you get the best distance out of it, this is useful. If you say it for every disc, it is not useful. To be honest, I don't even really know what it means.

People also seem to use the word turnover or flippy very often in confusing context. A turnover disc is usually one that finishes right. Saying a disc is super flippy and always finishes left is pretty confusing. I don't know if they are throwing x x -5 5 discs or if they are confused, regardless, it doesn't make a ton of sense.

Describing everything as a workhorse isn't informative.

Describing everything in reference to a Teebird isn't informative.

I think I understand now why peoples bags are so cluttered, I think a lot of people just throw whatever they are feeling, which is absolutely fine. But if people are looking for feedback, they themselves first need to decide what shots they need and which discs can give it to them.

These are my thoughts.
