Vitals:
Years playing/experience: 2 years off and on just now getting into it seriously.
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: Working to learn RHBH as I've found this is a must have skill on 90% of courses, Natural RHFH, Also have a 400' tomahawk
Golf Distance (avg/max*)
Driving:
Tomahawk 400' max, Forehand 350-400, back hand 250-300
Putting: 25-30' I'll try for chains 30+ I'm parking it
Optional:
Age: 26
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: I shattered my knee when I was 18 I have a mental block where I'm scared to plant hard on my throw.
Other sport proficiencies?: I was a side arm pitcher in baseball, could regularly throw high 80s, which is why I think I feel so unnatural RHBH throwing. I also have very powerful legs from skateboarding when I was younger.
Additional Information: Author's discretion
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?:
Drivers: I feel I just have a completely random mix of discs and when I come up to the next hole I'm just guessing at what disc to throw. I want to have a specific group of discs for specific situations.
MidRange: I only have 2 midrange discs and I'm not crazy about either of them. People often tell me to get a Buzz but I'm confused because there are so many versions of them.
Putters: I'm happy with my Judge and Wizard but I want something I can feel confident in throwing 30'+
Specific areas of desired feedback: I'm really working on my RHBH throwing I think I just about have my form down I'll post a video next week for some suggestions but I feel my discs are the main thing holding me back now, and my knowledge of the game. The guys I play with in league are often telling me what disc to use in what situation.
Immediate and long-term goals: Getting distance out of my RHBH throws and working on extending my putting distance. Also being able to throw effectively in the wind. I can't believe how some people can get their discs to glide with ease in a headwind. When I throw into a head wind my disc no matter how flat I let go always gets tilted up and take off to the left. Lastly I would really like to feel confident about entering a tournament by the end of the year. Not win it or anything but at least be able to shoot good enough to not embarrass myself.
I average between 62-65 on http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3719. It is a very nice course with some tight OB lines (to me anyways) For an idea of my skill level.
With my drivers I feel like I don't know what I like I have just a completely random selection. I'm working on getting my backhand to 350-400 feet to rely less on my Aerobie especially since I cant throw that in the wind. I'm looking for any suggestions here.
Drivers:
2x 166-169 Aerobie Epic A+ ( I can tomahawk this disc have it flip over and glide 350-400 feet straight as an arrow)
170 MVP Neutron C- (I just bought this but I get very poor distance with it)
168 Innova GStar Boss B+ (I get the best distance out of this disc when throwing backhand)
175 Innova Pro Starfire C (Super average disc I never find myself throwing it because I have better options)
166 Innova Star Katana A-C (Either I throw this disc amazing or I throw it horribly wrong I'm almost scared to throw it because I don't think my game is good enough to handle it yet)
170-172 Discraft Rogue B ( I like this disc but have trouble getting distance out of it sometimes)
169 Innova Arch Angel A (This really should be classified as a mid as I use it on short holes 200' I can park this consistently and is my go to disc on a short hole.
172 Dynamic Discs Trespass ? ( I just bought this disc and have only throw it 2-3 times but I love what I have seen so far with it.
My midrange is trash, my game heavily relies on trying to park it as close to the basket as I can so I can use my putter. I really would like to add a good midrange or two to my bag.
Midrange:
170-172 DGA Squall B (I like this disc a lot it is my go to midrange, not that I really have any options)
177 Innova Pro Roc C ( This disc is great for when I land behind a tree near the basket or don't have a clear shot but I wouldn't dare try to throw it with a clean line of sight and 200' to go)
I don't have consistency in my putters, I love the Wizard and Judge and I think I'll pick up some spares for practicing. The problem with my putting options is I have nothing I feel comfortable shooting from 25+ feet out, I feel I lose control with the Judge and Wizard at that distance but it may just be my form.
Putters:
175 Dynamic Discs Judge Classic A
175 Gateway Supersoft Wizard A-
175 Gateway Warlock C (I found this disc the first time I ever went out playing mostly just keep it in my bag for good luck)
175 Innova Birdie D (Probably just give this disc to my dog,)
Feel free to trash my bag as hard as you want I need all the constructive criticism I can get.
