Doesnt he have like one win in the last 5 years or something? I mean on NT level
He might not win, he just shows up and does well. Like if it's a major or NT you could count on him in the top 10

pros and cons to any bag strategy
why are we regurgitating this discussion yet again
oh wait i forgot where i was.. carry on
I do not however have fun playing with some guys who have their fun with full bags because, the group usually spends a lot of time looking for their discs because they don't seem to really know how they fly and they always have some excuse for it's less than intended flight.
Wow, does that really happen? Like, every time you play with guys that have full bags you don't have fun?
Note how Keller uses the word "some," where you substitute the phrase "every time." Not the same thing.
"I do not however have fun playing with some guys who have their fun with full bags..."
Personally I think Keller is green and steals Christmas gifts from innocent little children. At the very least, he's easily annoyed.
Bah humbug!
I've proven it to my self time and time again; I play better with fewer molds/discs.
My personal best on two local courses was playing with 4 discs in hand, no bag!
I have more fun when I play well and in control.

How many NT wins do you have?
And yes, too me, Christmas is the apex of stupidity.
What does that have to do with anything? A poster was using Doss as an example of why it pays off to go for a simple bag. I countered the argument by saying that Doss doesnt win a lot of tournaments. One could even argue (although not justified) that his minimalization is causing him to lose tournaments. Doss and Philo are not proof that mold minimalization pays off.

That said, I shot my personal best on my local course just using a single disc (Envy). Beat my old PB by two shots yay
It's not like Doss is finsishing DFL at NT events. The man is 1038 rated and a 3x world champion. I'd say that qualifies as paying off.
That assumption cannot be made, that Doss is a 3x World Champ and 1038 because he carries and uses fewer discs/molds, no more than it can be assumed that Nate Sexton is a USDGC champ because he carries more molds (or did, in a recent ITB).
Also, Philo uses fewer molds, but he has a bunch of each of them (especially Destroyers and Rocs) in his bag... I think he had 20 discs in 5 molds in one of his recent ITBs. So is he really minimizing?
Why are you quoting me here? The premise of my post isn't that Doss and his 1038 rating are a result of mild minimization. It's merely to point out that his philosophy is working just fine. Wims was trying to discredit one of the all time greats of the game due to his recent lack of NT wins. I never implied that carrying 6 or fewer molds is what makes Doss great, all I said was his decision has undoubtedly paid off.
Nothing personal in quoting you; I probably should've quoted multiple persons, there.
I did not perceive wims's quote as trying to discredit Nate Doss. It looked to me like he was stating what I'm stating; it cannot be assumed that Doss is what he is because of the number of molds and discs he carries. And then wims posted again pretty much confirming my understanding of his prior post.
