Saw http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97134 and was intrigued, but am too inexperienced to offer input so I thought I'd start one for new throwers like myself who have little to contribute but a lot of questions.
Background: I'm right-handed but have ZERO power with my BH, so I'm primarily a RHFH thrower. I have nine discs in my bag:
Drivers (4): Champion Viking, C-Line Hysteria (don't even know if that's the correct way to write it), Star Beast, and a Leopard.
Mid-Range (2): Titanium Buzzz and Star Mako
Putters (3): two Aviars & a Birdie
Except for my Aviar putters, I know what to use each of my six remaining discs for. The putters are sort-of a crap shoot at this point (still getting my form down) and the Birdie I keep purely for psychosomatic reasons, e.g. I'll use it when I'm going for that rare -1 par.
My Viking seems to settle and fly straight. I get more curve with my Beast. And my C-Line snakes (left to right) just perfectly. My Mako flies straight, but I can only throw it backhand; and my Buzzz seems a bit erratic, but is tamable if I take my time. I only use the Leopard for water shots.
My question is: Is this normal? Do I have too many discs or not enough? Should I be looking for more or should I work with what I've got? I'll admit, disc shopping is a bit like tattoos: the more you get, the more you want. But I'm not good enough to have a disc for every shot. I'm just now getting my RHFH hyzer-anhyzer technique to the point where I'm actually comfortable throwing with the slight expectation that the disc is going to do what I want it to do.
For you new guys (or relatively new guys) out there, what do y'all have? How long did it take for you to get comfortable with your bag? How long did it take you to get comfortable with your technique/discs? And finally, when it comes to stewed prunes, are three enough? Are four too many?
