Fluke's bag

[F.Luke]

Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

I just ordered a Upper Park Focus. I have an idea of what I'll stuff it with. I think I'll mainly use it for seasoning new plastic at Rockland Park or for shorter courses around. I look forward to using it since, as I've mentioned, my best golf has been played with a minimal bag. The focus says it holds 10.

Anyone have suggestions from my previous bag update to keep? We're stripping it down!

 

[F.Luke]

So once again last night I was about to post a bag update cause my Upper Park Focus came in but I wasn't fast enough with my post composition and I got signed out.

If anyone cares I may try again. Casey88 at least? Lol!

 

[F.Luke]

Superfans, thank you for the inspiration.

You're not gettin the bag update yet and the random drawing prize has not been chosen (it's not gonna be a Firebird) but I assure you your persistence will be paid off.

I used an 18 hole match play round at Rockland Park longs to determine the bag setup. It's got 12 discs. 2 are for backhand rollers almost exclusively.

Stay tuned.

Ps: if Casey started an instructional thread I'm pretty sure I would read every post and revel in the mysteries of the universe.

I'm giving this setup a spin at Jim Barnett Park tomorrow evening.

^Looks very "Focus(ed)"

:hfive:

The focus is great for solo rounds.

My solo rounds usually include a dog. The focus does not carry enough for that. Also I like to carry 5 putters. They're my favorites. Thus I'll carry the grip BX mostly.

This was a fun thread to read. You have hilarious conversations with yourself.

Thanks. If I couldn't amuse myself I'd know I was doing something wrong.

You're also entered to win.

How does that 04 roc feel? Scare to toss it ever? I have a opposite facing roc with the older innova logo that I got in 07-08 that I just threw back in the bag because it's my most beat up roc. I'm curious what it'll happen once it meets a tree again. I've only tossed it in a grass field to know I wanted it back in the bag.

This is exciting news, drank some PBR in college. Sometimes even warm since the beer in the aisles was on sale and we didn't always want to wait for it to chill. It coulda been worse.

The 04 is grippy and flat and fairly flexible. I'm never scared to throw anything I carry. If I throw them right they go where they're supposed to. Throw yours you'll love it. Mine hits trees, rarely. It hits lines better.

Discerdoo, you only get one entry into the drawing, but feel free to enjoy yourself. Because of your interest, I'll let you know it's a Fluke signature can,

I think you need to post some vids of you throwing, so other lefties, can learn from their side of things. On a bag related note, why Wraiths over Destroyers? Unfortunately, I'm under 21, but I could be persuaded to take a FB or Leo off your hands.

I have considered doing some lefty how to videos. Do they have to be uploaded to a hosting site? I still can't figure out how to embed a picture from my tablet, lol!

I chose wraiths over destroyers cause they are more comfortable to grip and when I throw them side by side I get no appreciable differences in flight. Also, I'm a late adopter of new disc technology. I didn't start throwing wraiths til 2008, when the destroyer came out. I didn't start throwing Thunderbirds til 2015.

Good luck with the FB and Leo. You've qualified for the Fluke signature Mountain Dew can.

Just to let people know it's ok to throw old plastic: the next in line DX Roc is a 2002 red rocks stamp and then a "disc golf rocks" stamp from 1998 or so. Both are brand new and ready to be called to duty.

Agreed!

So I may be switching my putters and some approaching to Millennium standard Omega AP. I think I'll still drive with Sirius and Q Omegas. We shall see.

This means I might have to update soon and close the superfan raffle. You know you want in!

Omega DT (dx) and ET's (xt) are pretty nice.

I've tried delta T and on the 4th putt I threw with it a discatcher chunked it really bad. So I moved on.

The 1.15 APs I got are amazing feeling. Almost like CE plastic. They have the hand feel and profile of the 2001 Q run and the first run Sirius(at least the red ones. Those were the best).

 

[F.Luke]

So I think I have an ideal mold lineup:

Putters: Omega AP in various plastics and wear

Mids: Roc/3 in various plastics and wear and a Mortar

Fairways: Leopards/3's equally interchangeable and Teebirds/3's also interchangeable

Control: Thunderbird and Firebird

Backhand roller: Sidewinders

Distance: Wraiths, provided I can still find high PLH fairly flat top Stars.

 

[F.Luke]

So, haven't posted a new bag update cause I keep losing stuff and adding and subtracting stuff and I'm too lazy to type with too much structure involved.

I lost a 175 Star Wraith(yellow) and replaced it with a white one.

I also put a new champ leopard in the bag.

My putters are also in semi-flux.

I may also add a new dx Roc to the bag as a filler between my oldest champ Roc3 and the dx Roc I currently bag. It'll need to be worked in to make the slot so maybe I bench the Roc3 and only rock the other roc?
