I recently went out and played an opposite hand Comet only round at a little pitch and putt. I didn't play well but actually had some fun again. It was much needed.
Ever go out and play atypical rounds for the challenge?

I used to a lot. Not necessarily opposite hand rounds, but would do ome mold only or try all side arms or roller rounds and such. Can keep the game fresh and fun

I saw you had to miss some action to go take care of him, hope he is feeling back to 100%.
I think I tried to quote the post that person was replying too, it was literally just a copy and paste of an answer you gave a long time back. Strange.
Glad to see your back though!

Just had to say I LOVE the new run of your tour series comets! A bit more OS than last year's (I like them straight to OS). Plus, they're awesome to look at. I've already bought two (that i don't really need)!
I actually really enjoyed it. Very well run for the most part and super challenging courses that were a nice balance to each other. Wish I could have putted better though

Comet throwers - how do other midranges fit into your lineup? In my case, I'm trying to bag one or two X comets to wear into neutral/flippy, plus a nice reliable Z comet. With any side or headwind, I would really rather throw a buzzz for forced turnovers, but then I'm still going to want something in between a buzzz and my OS mid, probably a Wasp as I have not been able to find a buzzz that is stable enough for this slot. And then honestly, I would really like to bag a truly flippy mid alongside the relatively stable X Comet - think mirage or tremor.
I end up with like 5 freaking mid molds! How do I manage this? I could cut one or two and just power down a champ teebird for OS mid shots, or power up on a Proxy or something for some Comet shots, but who wants to do that??

I go back and forth between a Wasp and a Buzzz, currently bagging a Buzzz. Throw a Quake for OS stuff, flippy X Comet for US stuff and a domey Z Glo Comet for stable Comet duties. Buzzz and Z Glo Comet do most of my mid work. I don't have much use for anything more US than my X Comet.
Depending on conditions, temperature and wind mainly I pick my Comet and build the bag off that.. It's cool enough now I can use my worn 174 glo Z Comet again as a superb straight flyer with zero fade. When it was warmer I switched to a fresher ESP 170 because it turned less.
I play a small 8-10 disc bag.. My Z Comet has replaced my Buzzz. I usually pack something more stable like a heavy Tangent or Axis, I putt/approach with plasma Envy so my stable slots are covered. If they aren't I will throw something like a Crave or Relay at 250' but a Wasp is what I used to use.
Sometimes I will go 176 ESP for a touch more stability if it's breezy, if it's nasty out 180Z fresh. Then I build backwards, if I'm packing the 180Z I usually take a worn FR ESP 172 for long turnovers. As far as more understable or short understable I use the Spin.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that when conditions are right for me to throw my favorite, I really only need one. If I feel like I need more stability I will pack two or if it is the only mid range I'm packing definitely two.
I have about 4 in Z I rotate through 2 backups, 3 in ESP primary throwers + 3 backups in ESP I don't throw much.

I'm currently bagging 5 midranges in 2 molds:
Fresh DX Roc3 that holds straight in wind and hold a hyzer
Moderately seasoned to straight w/ slight fade DX Roc3
Lightly seasoned ESP Comet that is just straight
Heavily seasoned Glo Z Comet for turnovers or flip ups
Heavily seasoned X Comet that is super flippy

Currently I have in my cart, finishing from right to left
ESP Comet
Z Comet
Big Z comet (Hasn't been getting much use)
TI Buzz SS
ESP Buzz (Replaced a Drone with this but not much use)
Z Buzz
TI Buzz OS
If you looking for something more flippy than a comet you could always try a Meteor.

Depends on your style of throwing too! My comets in the bag right now are: beefy Z Glo comet (will finish with slight hyzer), and a neutral worn in ESP Glo MJ comet for dead straight to slight turn shots.
I throw a Max weight Z archer for my flippy mid slot (hyzerflip turnovers or even rollers!) Depending on how windy it is I have a Z wasp or a Z hornet on my shelf that I throw in the bag.
But it rarely gets windy enough here where the Glo Z comet can't handle it. Sometimes I just hulk up on my cryZtal zone instead.
So 2 comets, 1 archer, then a wasp or hornet.

I use a comet for basically anything that is a finesse line. Push hyzers, flip ups, slow turning shots, even turnover forehands...as long as it's not too windy. For power straight shots, long hyzers, or forced turnovers, I'm throwing an aftershock (or wasp depending which is in my bag currently) Then theres the drone for "mini predator" type shots.
Even though I only carry 1 comet currently, it probably gets more work than other midranges.

Wasp seems to go well with the beefiest Comet you can find. In my case it's a vanilla Z Comet. I had a GloZ before but felt like I wasn't getting the glide I look for in a Comet. Would not mind trying another one, maybe I'll go a little domier this time if I can.

Great thread!
Id like to weigh in on the mid range combinations as well. For sake of simplifying I used to struggle limiting my mid molds to three variations; however, the MJ Comets are pretty stable and have allowed me to ditch buzzzs. So on a stability spectrum my lineup is as follows now:
. Old school base plastic comet. Freaky tricky and ugly as crap...kinda like my ex.
. Semi fresh ESP Comet max weight. Has that magical late turn we all look for in this disc
. NEW MJ signature ESP Comet. Flips up straight and rides on rope. Flatter profile for sure...thank you Mr. Johansen
. Beat Z Wasp or Jawbreaker Wasp
. Brand new FLAT Z Wasp or DGA Quake.

MJ, Has there been any disc out of the discraft lineup you have been wanting to try out in a new blend if possible? What would it be? Rubber blend ringer gts for putting, bangers in different plastics? Curious to pick your brain.
