Age: 24
Sex: m
Injuries/handicaps?: None
Other sport proficiencies?: Baseball / Ultimate
Additional Information: Been throwing all DGA for roughly 10 months now, threw trilogy before that. Not sponsored but have personal relationships that lead me to throw DGA, would like to continue doing so
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: Loving my squalls and hurricanes but I feel as if I don't fully utilize putters and fairways well.
Specific areas of desired feedback: Looking to understand some more nuances about the specific runs of DGA discs and things I should be looking for to get some good desired flight characteristics. Looking to get a bag nailed down that I enjoy and then only phase discs in / out based upon wear / new releases.
Bag: Pound Octothorpe - Love it
Drivers:
168 PL Hurricane (Slight wear) Very flippy, use for tailwind / uphill turnovers
172 PL Hurricane (Slight wear) experimentally in bag, Hyzerflip to flat, doesn't fly as far as my SP hurricanes ~380 feet on a hyzerflip
2 173 SP Hurricanes (Slight wear, 2013 run) hyzerflip to turnover bombers, ~410 feet with hyzerflip to slight turn. Love them, similar discs have two for backups
175 SP Hurricane (Slight wear, 2015 'smokey rim' run) Hyzerflip to flat shot ~400 feet
175 SP Hurricane (Slight wear, Poptop) Hyzer to hyzer, holds line, very stable
172 SP Flex Hurricane (Poptop beefcake, high PLH) Very big gap between this and next most overstable. Only use for heavy headwind shots and hyzer shots over OB that I'm worried about, very situational disc
Fairways:
168 SP Pipeline (Somewhat beat up) - Flippy fairway, use for light fairway throws around 60% heavy hyzerflip to turn shots. Use around 340-350 where I'm uncomfortable throwing forehands
175 SP Pipeline (Normal Wear) - Very flat and little glide, use as a neutral stable fairway, slight turnover when thrown hard with hyzer, not a heavy fade
175 SP Pipeline (Normal Wear, high PLH) - slight puddle top, slightly more stable than previous pipeline, use in headwinds when I need a straight shot
171 PL Hellfire (Beat to hell) - Heavy heavy wear on this one, flies stable, strong hyzerflip to flat with a strong fade
172 SP Hellfire (Beat to hell) - Heavy wear as well, flies more stable than the pl, hyzerflips slightly, much stronger fade
172 PL Hellfire (normal wear) Beating in to be similar wear to heavily beat PL
172 SP Hellfire (normal wear) Beating in to be similar wear to heavily beat SP
172 SP Hellfire (normal wear, high PLH) Weird SP Mutant, Most overstable disc I've ever thrown. Use only for 'trickshots' or weird situations. Forced over BH anhyzers and short ~150 forehand shots that need a huge skip
Mids:
173 PL Squall (older run, domey low PLH, Newer) One of the older run squalls that are a bit flippier, use mostly for long hyzerflip to turnover shots around 300 feet
175 PL Squall (First flight tacky run) First Flight squall that works for long turnover drives and straight uphill shots, more glide than other squalls, mostly used for ~330ish shots rather than previous squall
175 Glow Squall (slightly beat) flat to slight turnover, use for straight shots ~300 feet that I need to end left, no/little fade at the end
175 PL Squall (Beat up, recent run, high plh) Had in my bag for ~2 years, was one of my first DGA discs. Generally throw around 80% to 300 feet with fade at end, can power up to ~330 dead straight the whole flight
177 PL Squall (Newer, recent run) Very stable for a squall, use for ~300 foot shots that I need to fade for most of the flight, dumps hard at the end, haven't tried powering it up yet
175 'Flex' Aftershock (Slight wear) One of the atypical 'flexy' aftershocks. Use mostly for ~300 foot straight shots with fade at the very end, more reliable than beat up high plh squall for same shots. Mostly use when I NEED to hit a line or hit and stick on the ground, squalls all slide longer after they hit the ground.
175 PL Quake (Slight wear) Proto Quake, Loving it so far, very stable and use it for high wind conditions backhand and some touch forehand shots to ~300 feet. Very good for flex shots and hit and stick forehand shots as well
Putters:
2 - 175 D-Line Steady (normal wear) Main two putters, trying to beat in one a bit more for outside the circle
174 D-Line Steady (heavily beat) Flippy putter, only used for heavy turnover shots
175 D-Line Steady (lightly used) hyzer-flip to flat
175 Flex Breaker - (heavy use) Broken in to hyzer to flat, very versatile, can use for hard flat shots ~280-300 feet and it flies dead straight, use for longer straight shots than the new D-Steady, also used for softer hyzer shots
175 Flex Breaker - (Newer) Hyzer shots and straight shots that I need to fade harder than the broken in breaker
