I'm making this thread to keep track of what all goes in an out of my bag through time and maybe some addendums about tournaments so far.
I'm in Virginia, about 897 rated.
Right now my bag is set up like
Puttas
2x Mercy 175 Zero Hard - Putting putters, I putt, sometimes they go in the basket, it's a work in progress.
Polecat! Champion 175 - My upshots are terrible, but since bagging this, they've become less so. Requires so little effort to throw 0-100 feet, easy to try dumb runs at the basket, never skips, it's wonderful.
Breaker D line 175 - super beat up, one of my favorite purchases and throwers. It doesn't go super far but the angle you release it on is the angle it travels on. Annys without diving, hyzers great, straight shots are a breeze. Doesn't have much fade and generally sits.
Breaker SP 175 - like above but fights out of an anny and fades at the end. Way less glide too. I don't use it very much but an overstable putter is a must for anyone.
The Mids
4-5 M2's, all around 180
My only midranges. I have
200 plastic - Looks like absolute trash, it's beat as hell and the rim is all warped and you have to be careful where you grip it. It flies like magic though, fantastic hyzerflips, giant turnovers, slow turning bombs that don't fade. Can sooorta hyzer but there are better options. 200 plastic is nice an velvety, and it went to understable quick but hasn't changed much since then
400 OG m2, pretty beat, it's nearing on 2 years. It held a nice buzz level stability for a while but it's starting to go past that. It's a fickle mistress and can be a little inconsistent. If I throw purposeful hyzer shots it will hold the whole way, but throwing flat gives a bit too much turn. It can do turnovers but always wants to fight out of it as it slows down.
750 when I need a straight to fade rip this is my go to. Fades way more than the OG 400 and is way more trustworthy in wind
400G proto M2, the most overstable, break in case of emergency, doesn't go as far, zero turn, always fades.
400 fresh m2, trying to work it into that slight beat bomber the OG used to be. Its a fresh M2, not too much to say.
The Fairways
I was trying to do a nice simple F2 cycle here, but I've been thwarted by two things.
1. F2s are coming out flippier now :thmbdown:
2. I threw my workhorse into some leaves and it disappeared :thmbdown:
Right now I'm bagging (around 175g)
750 175grams - flippy, does turnovers, hyzerflips. That sort of stuff
400G 175grams - New but has some right wiggle when ripped. Was hoping for like a fresh teebird flight but damn. It will probably be my new workhorse at least
400G 173gram traitor - Brand new, uselessly flippy. I like to really rip on my fairways and I don't like when in the middle of my tournament my new one that should be overstable flips up on a hyzer line and flies a mile to the right of the basket. Don't have the first throw with a disc be in a tournament kids. I can do big turnovers with this and also some trashfire rollers. Dunno if I'll keep it in the bag.
So heartbroken by this F2 situation I gathered myself and picked up an
F1 - 400 - 175.
This is what I wanted, hopefully f1's won't betray me like their brothers did. Straight to fade goodness, goes far, big fan.
Then I also always carry 2
TRIDENTS
("Finally!" you say, "Enough with the numbers, I hate math.")
when I need a big happy fade at the end or am throwing sidearms, tridents will always be there for me. I have 6, they all throw about the same, super super straight then a really long fade. I swap them in/out of the bag depending on mood, a couple go a little longer. They're all wonderful. I lost my favorite one in thorn hell - Giles Run and am hoping it gives me a call and comes home.
"control" drivers
I'm torn here between starfires and wraiths. Right now I'm bagging
Starfire star 175 - super flat Jenkins one, it's a longer teebird
I have a PD, I tried it, I don't like the rim as much and this is easier to forehand. I have a backup that flies the exact same so they take turns being lost.
Starfire (Champ/Star) Here's a recent theme, I order something stable and receive less stable versions???? Ordered new starfires, they're two ones that have MASSIVE pop tops and some out of the box turn. They absolutely bomb, and they have a place in my bag, but not what I was expecting.
Sometimes I will swap starfires and wraiths because I can sidearm wraiths farther. However with my pop top starfires I will probably swap between wraiths and
Max D boys
X2s - Big fade, always come back. One even does immediately out of your hand, but that's the problem child. I have a couple 400 and one "special" 750G that feels sweet. Sadly my farthest flying one met a similar fate as my f2 in a pile of leaves :wall: I spent today throwing a backup into a pile of wood to try and get it to the same spot with no luck.
I had D2's but the rim was just too big for my hands. Like that dude from the old Burger King commercials. X2's are just a tick smaller and a little flatter. They dGAF about wind since they're thinner and they just go and then fade hard. Sometimes they skip too much, but that's just life. Probably gonna bag a wraith until one of the X2's gets to a big spot then I'll bag
1 meathook one (this one came out weird, it's a freak) 169
1 stableish one 167
1 little turn one 173
1 workhorse 168
Anyway that's about it. Don't trust new F2s
