Grip: I recently changed my grip to a modified power grip where I tuk the disc in at the base of my fingers vs my palm , I couldn't get any control or snap at all doing it like that. I recently came from having my index finger on the side of the disk but realized how much power I was losing and went to that power grip.

This is basically everything I have at this second. I took All of my drivers out but my huk labs destroyer and my Wraith / Nuke OS. I only take my Icon Clutch with me for a putter too, it feels the best to me and I make way more putts with it than I do the softer plastics. I keep 2 DX leopards in my bag, one light and one heavy for turn overs that need a hard right vs a slow sweeping right (underworld).

I can say my most confident disk in my bag is my river and my fury. I throw them about as far as anything else and they actually S like they are supposed to or slowly fade right. I threw my star beast around for a bit thinking I could get that thing to S that my arm was up to 10 speed and thing just dives left on me so took it out.

Basically do you guys see anything else I need to add or any advice on weights ? I'm going to order a ESP 173 buzz tonight because I completely hate my Ti Buzz. It throws NOTHING like my ESP FLX one at all. I can put annhyzer on it and it wont fly straight comes back hard left at the end. its extremely annoying. Ive been sticking in the 169-173 range for weight , recently I picked up a few in the 175+ range and not sure how I feel about them yet.

So far my best round and first ace came last weekend. At one of the harder courses I play (Oshtemo Township Park) I shot a 3 over , and at the easier place Kalamazoo Air Zoo I shot -8 (I put a super good round together)

Any feed back would be great!

Also I have no forehand shot at all :( I haven't really figure out how to throw like that , they go like 100feet tops

Holy crap. Is this what's in your bag or your collection? If it's your collection, can you post what's in your bag separately?
 
Please give the DRivers/Mids/Putters list with what you actually carry. It SOUNDS like:

Drivers
Nuke OS - utility o/s
Wraith - Main D
Fury - ???

Fairway drivers
River
DX Leo x2
Stalker

Mids:
FLX Buzzz
???

Putters
Opto Pure
Clutch
 
7 months in and you can throw almost 430'? If you actually can, that's great. But if you're stretching the truth a bit, the advice that you're going to get won't be as accurate...
 
I threw 385 from a standstill the other day. But I also cheated the line and wasn't aiming. So....

(I throw about 475 with my high speed stuff with an x-step)...

Not to say it can't be done, but I'm with these guys. What are you measuring with?

Measured with one of those wheels you measure property lines with, was in wide open maybe 5mph wind at best. I have some power but not being able to X step yet kinda sucks (my form is so bad)

My best on the course throw so far as far as distance / being somewhat near the pin was 365' ended up within 5 feet of the basket

More less asking what I should carry to mostly improve my game. Like I said I took all my drives out because its rather pointless at this point I think. That and changing grips made my drivers(12+) even worse.

Something weird is going on if you have ti buzzzes dumping on you, or beasts dumping on you if you have that much distance power. I throw about 375' and have never had a buzzz dump, especially ti, and all the beasts I've thrown have been flippier than as described. I don't know, might need more info.
