I liked Finny's bag building challenge from earlier this month, and decided to try a similar one. The concept for this one is simple. But, if you are like me, you may find that you cannot seem to settle on a result that you agree with a week later.
Here is the challenge. Create a bag of discs that would best serve you. The requirements for this bag must follow the following set of rules:
1. You must choose a disc brand for each speed 1-14. You cannot leave any speed empty. Each brand you choose is based on the disc(s) of that speed that you want in your bag. So, for example, if you insist on bagging a Predator, then your speed 9 brand must be Discraft.
2. Each brand may only be used for one speed category. So, for example, if you choose Innova for speed 5, then you cannot use Innova again for speed 9. So, choose wisely.
3. When you enter your list of brands, please also, state the name(s) of the mold(s) from this brand that interest you at this speed.
4. Commentary about your choices is welcome, but not manditory.
5. For any commentary, be positive! If you are not feeling particularly enthusiastic about your choice at a particular speed, try to sell us on it anyway!
That's it. You will find that the resulting bag is rather large, but heck, this is just an exercise.
Feel free to utilize websites such as Marshall St disc golf and Infinite Discs to assist you in recalling brands and molds.
Here are my choices: (I chose to make my list in descending order)
14. Westside - World, Catapult, King, Destiny, Queen - Lots of strong choices here, in my view.
13. MVP - Energy, Nitro, Octane, Catalyst - Considered other brands instead, but, as Phil Liggett would say, the peloton would have a dim view of that.
12. Dynamic Discs - Enforcer, Trespass - very competitive speed category. I wonder if any will agree with my choice.
11. Millenium - Astra, AstraX, Aries - Just admitting you throw these proves you are cool.
10. Discmania - PD, TD, TD2 - The PD alone gives it a strong showing.
9. Innova - Firebird, Thunderbird, Valkyrie, Sidewinder - Look at this list. Nuff said.
8. Discraft - Undertaker, Mantis, XL, XS - I so wanted to use Discraft elsewhere also, but it's time to give some OOP discs some love.
7. Legacy - Rival, Patriot, (maybe Phenom?) - Just try to tell Legacy lovers not to include these.
6. Kastaplast - Kaxe, Kaxe Z - Pure awesomeness, and look, more awesomeness!
5. Prodigy - M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 - They've got it covered.
4. Latitude 64 - Compass, Fuse - super reliable. And, I think the Anchor goes here too.
3. Gateway - Wizard, Voodoo, Warlock, Magic - this is like a million different choices! And that's just the Wizard.
2. Axiom - Envy - had other strong contenders here also. Don't they wish they got the spot.
1. Aerobie - the Arrow - yes! for the win!
I am not claiming to be the final authority on the perfect list. My experience is limited. And, so, I am looking forward to your thoughts.
