Years playing/experience: 13 months
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: right-handed
Throwing Style: RHBH, very occasional FH or OH
Golf Distance (avg/max*) Magic (150', 190') Mako (200', 230') Leopard (250', 330')

Optional:
Age: 15
Sex: M


What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: Looking to downsize if possible, any other suggestions
Specific areas of desired feedback: Is several of the same mold always necessary?
Immediate and long-term goals: Better line-shaping, able to execute complex shots and multi-shot hole strategies

Bag:

Drivers:
172 Champ Mamba (Close to new) - Max distance, long left-to-right, big turnovers
167 Star Eagle, (Close to new) - overstable and long
165 DX Eagle (beating in) - lots of turn and fade, line-shaping, not used as much as before
167 Pro Leopard (Close to new) - understable, shorter S curves
175 Champ Leopard (Close to new) - Go-to, straight with a little fade

Mids:
178 Ti Wasp (close to new) - consistent overstable
17? Z Wasp (used but fresh) - getting more understable, less consistent
171 Star Mako (fairly fresh) - glidey straight with a little fade, go-to
177 Z Meteor (used but fresh) - longest mid, slight left-to-right, straight short drives
172 ESP Meteor (breaking in) - turnovers and anhyzers

Putters:
171 Sinus AP (new) - driving putter, overstable approaches
175 M Magic (used) - putting, approaches
 
If you are looking to downsize a bit why not take out the Mako and use the Z meteor for all straight drives, that way you are keeping the number of discs and molds down.
 
try out a teebird, and why no roc's? try out a roc3 or kc pro roc. And for overstable distance driver ( if you have the power to throw it) try a destroyer.

Do you have any reasoning behind these recommendations, or is this just based on personal preference?

my reasoning is that all the discs I mentioned are renowned for being amazing discs and almost every pro that you would talk to you would tell you the same. Roc's, KC Aviars, Teebirds, Eagles, Destroyers.:thmbup:

Every INNOVA pro would say this^
And every discraft pro would say buzzz
it's all a matter of finding the right combo of molds for you if you like the wasp I would maybe try a comet for turnovers and straight shots if you don't like the meteor
Other then that I would say look at the speed 9-11 I would tell you a disc but I'm still hunting for the mold for me and my needs
Btw I use rocs now and had the buzzz and wasp combo before that so I see both sides
 
Any sponsored player will tell you that their discs are the best.

I like your bag. You could probably drop the z meteor, and be okay with the mako and esp meteor.

its not only that I throw all innova and prodigy, but its just that I know that these discs work AMAZING, the Roc holds lines better than a buzzz and is more stable. there is nothing like a set of DX or KC pro rocs in varying stability. I would just say innova makes better discs than discraft.

I would say drop the Mamba for now and focus on just using your Leopard and Eagle. That is a very good one two combo to learn with. I could do the same with my Stalker/River and be just fine.

I have thrown the Elite Z Wasp and it does start to become slightly inconsistent when worn,not horribly bad,but you can tell it is there. Nothing a nose angle adjustment can't fix though.

I would probably drop the Elite Z Wasp. Pick one of the Meteors that you like the best. I've thrown both the ESP and Z versions of lots of discraft discs and there is a very minimal flight difference between plastics. They do wear differently,but in flight they will stay the same for a while. If you want you could just leave the other in there just to get some wear on them.

I think a Voodoo would pair nicely with your Sinus and Magic. The Voodoo is a pretty good driver off the Tee. I use mine for Putting and Driving.
