How many discs do you use per round?

[KniceZ]

I see several polls about how many disc people carry but I didn't see any that specifically asked about how many are actually used. I know lots of folks carry 20+ discs but I think many are back-ups or discs being beat-in.

I realize that it will be course specific but in general how many discs do you use in a typical round.

i wouldn't have to use quite so many if i could throw RHFH, i bet.

 

[JNichols]

I carry 26-28 discs, but I carry at least 2-3 of each mold.

 

[4th Rock]

I carry ~20 discs, but only 10ish molds. I'll only use 5-8 unless i have to pull of my SHTF discs.

 

[DavidSauls]

I currently carry 14 or 15, and today used all but one in my round. The one I didn't use, I contemplated for one shot.

I could have made do with only half of them, as in some cases the differences are rather slight.

 

[Brodysseus]

Really depends on the course, the weather, and how well I'm throwing that day. Could be 3, could be 15.

 

[pmorgan1214]

depends on the course, what shots and how much trouble i get into. Saying how much is kind of hard. however i have go to discs that are used almost every round.

i would say
summit- understable putter
ridge- X2 main putter
VP- X2 i use one as a driving putter and the other as a main putter for headwind putts

midrange

obex- X2 one is light but still really overstable, the other is dead straight
ibex- only one and it is understable will hold anhyzer lines.
buzz os- massively overstable mid range. great forehand disc as well.

fairway- interesting category for me since i am in test phase with the notch arch and the valley

Ascent- X2 main fairway both are really straight minimal fade at the end
Valley- understable fairway, but will fade out. hopefully can beat in to not come back
Notch- no longer have lost it but was overstable fairyway
Arch- Very glidey straight disc but will flip with enough power. still testing it out.

drivers

unlace- maximum distance driver hyzer flips and rollers. great utility disc
o-lace- only have 1 but micro granite is stable. forehand disc and back hand anhyzer flex.
lace- have one that is flippy and the other is stable. really not sure what to do with these discs just yet.

I carry 22, used 15 today in the course of playing 22 holes.

 

[grotto]

I carry 14, but for the most part I usually only used (need) 6-7 of them. But it does depend on the course and the weather.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

5 min monster got me...

There's overlap to be sure, but there are definitely times when, even though I know I could use either of two (possibly even 3) discs for a certain shot, something about the situation makes me feel more confident throwing one over the other(s).
That confidence is important... perception becomes reality.

 

[captain jack]

I have a few discs that I prefer on certain tees, but all 14 or 15 discs I carry get some fingering love.
Im old, my back hurts, so, no fluff.

 

[Monocacy]

I carry 9-11 discs, and probably use 7-9 per round, course dependent.

Whoa, hope your not carrying all max weight discs?! Haha

How many do you throw a round?

 

[bobmcnelly]

I recently downside my bag to the discs I actually throw.

 

[mike.sepulveda.73]

I currently bag 21, about 3 or 4 duplicates in different stages of abuse though. If my forehand game is strong I can use about 8 but if it's off them I use just about every disc. A couple of local courses have some lefty love that we rhbh throwers need to forehand or get some anny lines to have a chance.

This is me too, in my c14.

 

[aajpity]

I carry 21 discs but have 11 molds. 6 drivers, 3 mids, and 2 putters.

 

[scarpfish]

I realize that it will be course specific but in general how many discs do you use in a typical round.

The problem is the answer can be very round specific, even on the same course. I carry 18 discs, and I'd say at least 12 of them usually get used once per round, but probably 4-5 of them do 75+% of the work.

I think maybe some of us could do an experiment though to find a ballpark answer.

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

I use all the discs!

 

[Pbmercil]

I voted 10-12 cuz that's probably my average. I probably throw almost all my putters and mids every round, as the speed goes up i use fewer and fewer discs. I generally only use 2 distance drivers per round. I have a few specialty discs that don't get used regularly (ie if I'm in the fairway all the time). I bag 16 for casual rounds and 19-21 for tournements
