Vitals:
Years playing/experience: ~2.5 years
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: Right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH/RHFH
Golf Distance (avg/max) for putter/mid/driver :
- Envy: 280/320'
- Hex: 300/340'
- Teebird: 360/390'
- Emperor 400/450'
(All backhand)
Optional:
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?:
I generally like my bag. I took a very systematic approach to building it over the past few years, focusing on a set of core molds that can display a variety of flight characteristics in different plastics and stages of wear. I also like that I can throw every disc in my back both backhand and forehand. One thing I dislike about my bag is that it's a little boring. I didn't intend over 90% of my bag to be effectively just two manufactures. It just kind of naturally evolved that way over time.
Specific areas of desired feedback:
Happy to hear any feedback! Are there any obvious gaps? Any places I can trim down molds or discs?
Immediate and long-term goals:
I'm working on adding the faster drivers back into my bag. I had only been throwing Teebirds as my drivers since the beginning of the year. I feel like that process was very helpful, but I'm looking to jump back up to the full bag as I (hopefully) begin to play more this spring and summer.
I'm also looking to add a greater variety of shot shapes to my game. Right now, I throw almost every shot on a slight hyzer (both backhand and forehand). I also effectively have no utility shows.
Long term, I'm hoping to continue working on my form to add more distance and consistency. I'd also like to put a lot more work into my forehand form in general, as I have dedicated most of my effort into working on my backhand thus far.
