Not retired from the sport at all though! Just not really feeling getting in a queue to sign up for local tournaments, I'm not really that hard up that I need to get in the first 10 minutes that registration is open...
Vitals:
Years playing/experience: 16 years, with a few in between that I played minimally
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH, RHFH (probably 70/30)
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver:
Steady: (220'/270'), Aftershock (240'/300'), Undertaker (325'/375'), Hurricane (340'/415')
Optional:
Age: 40
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: completely shot left knee (no ACL for ~20 years)
Other sport proficiencies?: I think I can list ice hockey here now
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: Love that the bag is a setup I can use on any course comfortably
Specific areas of desired feedback: none really, for information only
Immediate and long-term goals: Continue to throw and enjoy playing, and get my son more into the sport this spring/summer
That aside - my lineup is not evolving very much, over the last couple of years. I tried a couple of newer things last year but back to even a more heavy lineup of old dependable molds. My bag is pretty balanced and I can use all of the molds both forehand and backhand (least comfortable with FH undertakers, but I will work that out this spring in the field)
Distance
172 Z Force, newish - this one isn't always in the bag. It's the 'step up' driver for really windy days, when I wouldn't be throwing flippy versions of hurricanes.
174 PL FLX Shasta Hurricane, slight wear - has some dome and still pretty overstable, this is my main long hyzer disc most days, and my power forehand disc out to 350'ish
171 SP Hurricane, worn - workhorse distance driver. longest disc in my bag, and one of the most dependable distance drivers I've ever used.
167 PL FLX Shasta Hurricane, worn - a bit flat for a hurricane and nicely flippy, doesn't have a ton of fade so really good for turnovers, hyzer flips, and tailwind shots
Fairway
174 Z Predator, slight wear - it's the beefcake. does all the things a utility overstable disc should be able to.
174 Z Undertaker, new - slightly overstable. goes straight to fade with little turn and good enough fade. working on using undertakers for more forehand shots this season.
172 ESP Undertaker, worn - it's the workhorse. can hyzer flip, but won't flip over unless headwind. can hold an anhyzer if forced.
168 Z Undertaker, worn - such a great finesse/woods driver. lazer beam hyzer flips and sweet panning anhyzers.
174 SP Proto Vortex, new - also a great finesse driver, all about hyzer flips and turnovers. haven't tried rolling it yet, but I'd imagine it's a really good roller disc also.
Midrange
177 FF PL Quake, some wear - very flat, very overstable. not a turd like a drone though, and more comfortable FH disc too
177 PL Aftershock, newish - a good stable midrange, when I want straight to fade shots.
177 Shastashock, worn - these wear into wonderfully straight midranges that can handle some power. hope it stays that way for a while!
177 Swirl ESP MJ Comet (2020 edition), newish - pretty stable comet. woods disc? yes please
177 Glow ESP MJ Comet (2018 edition), worn - almost a perfectly seasoned disc - flips to flat without being understable. holds a turn when I need it without dipping too hard to the right.
Putt and approach
174 SP Breaker, worn - this has been a staple approach disc in my bag for a while now. very dependable but more workable than a zone. almost exclusively a forehand disc (since that's my preferred approach method)
174 JB Granite Steady, slightly worn - straight to slightly understable throwing putter
2x 174 D Line Steady, new - I was using Bell rubber blends, but the new D Line (discraft putter line plastic) feels good and they seem to have a bit more glide to them. So I'm going to work on breaking a set in
