Spike Hyzer's 2018 in the Bag

[Spike Hyzer]

Threw another -9 this morning. 10 birdies, and a bogey (because of a weird slipped out of my hand release). I also missed 20ft and 30ft putts for birdie.

I missed having a Justice in the bag for a short flex shot. The VIP Harp doesn't come back hard enough at the end. I am really enjoying the Night Strike and Dark Maul versions of the FD and PD. I have also found a renewed love of the verdict. It fits perfectly for forehands between the Harp and Ahti.

Changed some things up again.

Judge - Putting and throwing less than 250

Harp - Short FHs and OS Drives

M4 - for really US mid shots

EMAC Truth - All Mid shots up to 320

XXX - OS Mid shots and FHs

FD - All FW shots up to about 350

PD - longer FW shots 340-370 and straighter FHs

Doombird - FHs. More trustworthy for FHs than PD, longer than the XXX.

D4 - Long rollers, tailwinds, distance shots, shots to flip up and go right.

D2 - Most BH distance drives

D1 - OS distance drives, headwinds, and FH

I still haven't decided on a shorter more technical roller. Thinking about the following: F7, Fury, Sidewinder, Roadrunner, TD, or TDX.

Justice is out as the XXX can basically make the same shots and feels way better FH. Verdict is also out, I feel like I need it, but I really never threw it all season. Same can be said for my 2nd run FDs. I guess the courses I have been playing don't have many straight to fade shots in the 280-350 range...which seems odd.

Well now that McBeth is throwing Discraft I might have to round out my Discraft backpack bag for when I don't wanna lug the cart. Here is what I carry in it:

Z Nuke OS
Z Force - circa 2008
Big Z Force - x2
ESP Force - First Run
Big Z Crank - x2

Z Machete
Z Predator - 2 point
Big Z Predator
Glow Z Undertaker
Z Undertaker
Z Avenger SS

Z Buzzz OS - x2 (one 1st run)
Z Buzzz
ESP Buzzz - circa 2006
ESP Meteor

ESP Zone
Z Zone
Jawbreaker Challenger

Pro D Challenger - Old Barstamp

I need to try some driving putter molds. Looking at the Ringer GT, Challenger OS, and Challenger. I also want to try the Vulture, Comet, and possibly pick up a flippier Undertaker.

Threw two solid rounds the past few days throwing the following:

Force x4

Machete

Predator x2

Undertaker x2

Avenger SS

Buzzz OS

Buzzz x2

Meteor

Zone x2

Fossil Wizard x2

Blend Judge x2

The undertaker is such a cool disc. It flies far and is also controllable at shorter distances. I feel like it flies most of the lines I use my PDs and straighter FDs for when I take my cart out. I would like to try the Vulture, but don't see much need for something between the Undertaker and Force.

I love the predator. It was my first overstable driver and I still know it perfectly. I actually have been liking it for forehands more than I used to.

Nice setup. I'm curious how your Zone and Harp fly for you. No redundancy?
