This spot is a mess for me right now, but here's what I've got right now:

DX roc(beat)- hyzer flip, rollers
0x KC Pro Roc(seasoned)- turnovers
11x KC Pro Roc(seasoned)- straight with a little fade at the end
XT Roc(fresh)- same as 11x roc, just there to hopefully get beat to straight
Champion Rancho Roc(fresh)- general OS stuff, flex, left finishing

What's are u guys carrying?
 
S Scout - 99% of mid shots
Glow Champ Gator - Gator stuff
Star Atlas - testing

Usually there is a backup Scout
 
I feel like we've done this not long ago in the Discs section... but my answer has probably changed since then.

Z Buzzz - recently started using it for lots of forehands in addition to typical backhand Buzzz stuff
Drone (currently Ti FLX) - just backhands where I want to put some juice on it, not turn, and fade
Glo Z Meteor - for some reason I'm more comfortable throwing this for tunnel shots than my Comet; it works for some forehand approaches as well
Z Comet - I can't really throw lasers with it like some can, but it's a great disc for many situations, and I use this more for left-to-right mid shots than my Meteor, and also for some forehand anny trick approaches
 
2006 USDGC Star Roc - beefy
12x KC Roc - seasoned but still OS
11x KC Roc - neutral
Old (1996 Ice Bowl stamp) super stiff DX Ontario - turnover Roc

All 177+ grams.
 
Esp meteor, esp impact, champ roc 3, demon are permanent, also testing a z hornet that I think will stay in too.
 
I can't make up my mind between Roc3s & Rocs....
I prefer Roc3s for straight to overstable stuff. They seem to do better in the wind than my new KCs. I prefer beat DX/KC Rocs for turnovers. Even before Roc3s came out I never like flat top Rocs for turnover shots. So I bag a Mako3 when I bag Roc3s. I just put Roc3s back in my bag.

Champion Gator - Beefy
3x Champion Roc3 - Overstable
(Seasoned) 2x Champion Roc3 - Straight with very little fade
(Seasoned) DX Roc3 - Straight
Champion Mako3 - Turnovers
 
My setup is as follows:
Z Buzzz OS - Overstable
Lucid EMAC Truth - Straight to Fade
Lucid EMAC Truth - Straight
400G M4 - Straight to slightly understable,
350 M4 - Understable

All are max weight.

I am happy with this setup right now. Compliments my putters and fairway drivers very nicely. It also covers all shots and I have backups.

Lucid Justice- Overstable Beef
Lucid Verdict- Long Hyzer
Opto Compass-Straight/Tunnel
Rectcled Fuse-Understable
 
5 Rocs

DX Ontario for holding turns
10X KC beat to perfection - distance
11X KC little bit of stability
12X KC first bit of stability gone
06 USDGC Champ "Big Eye" stamp - flies like a little less glidey fresh KC and should forever
 
My mids change more than anything. Just depends on what feels good at the time. Too many good mids out right now for me not to play around.

On a Discmania kick right now.

OS to US:
CLine MD3
Fresh PMD3
Beat MD3
Z Comet

I would probably be fine with just the MD3s, but I love Comets too much.
 
Star Gator - utility disc, putter in strong headwinds.
Pink Panther - upshots, spike hyzers, forehand approachers, thumbers, rollers, any other mid shot when I need the confidence this disc gives me.
Green Hornet - hyzers , around obstacles, etc.
Titanium Buzzz - main mid for distance with fade at end, hyzer lines.
Champion Mako3 - anhyzer lines, dead straight shots (especially over longer distances).

Honorable mention - though classified and advertised as an approach, the Innova Mirage definitely gets midrange distances, and acts like an understable mid.
 
I always thought the Drone got a lot of love and bag space. Was I under the wrong impression? Or did that "overstable mids are useless" thread revolutionize disc golfers' lives everywhere?
 
Kaxe Z for straight-ish distance
Verdict for hyzers, tomahawks, skips, and forehands-my favorite mid
Claymore for small hyzers, general upshot duty, and skips
Buzzz for short upshots, annys, soft landings
 
Pretty much just Roc3's right now:
2 DX, one beat to flippy and the other rapidly approaching that. Hopefully will find some freshies at Play It Again Sports this weekend but we'll see.
1 Champ Glo that's been in the bag for almost a year, has lost some fade when given a full power throw but I can still do the usual hyzer angles and throwing nose up to get the necessary flights.
1 Luster Champ - left this sitting in a mailbox for a while sadly so it's slightly bent. I'm hoping it's more overstable than the Glo is now. I also have another Glo I may put in, but it's identical to the disc I'm currently throwing so we'll see.

You can also technically include my VIP Harp as a Gatoresque type midrange, but I use it more for approaches and really short drives. For most longer midrange drives I'm throwing a Roc3.
 
Pro D Buzzz
Elite X Buzzz
Elite Z Buzzz
Elite Z Buzzz OS
 
I keep it pretty simple now, tried lots of them and for the last year it's been,
Seasoned DX Roc
Newish KC Roc
Esp Comet
And I see no need to change my setup and have given up trying any more mids.
 
Right now, a solid dynamic set up, but, I never keep my mind set for too long..
