Memory and the mental part of the game is both short and long lived. "I don't trust this disc, it did me dirty, but I trust/know this mold so I trust THiS (new/old) other one" is a real thing.

I've been using one of these Infinite tournament bags on my cart for the last year or so and am pretty sure it's the same as the Innova tournament/Discarrier, in the same way that the infinite molds are re-branded innova molds/mold pieces. It's juuust about a panel for panel copy or version...

100% a missed opportunity not calling this pack the "octo-small"

They're not that much less stable, but they are more workable out of the box than a fresh champ/star teebird is. They're fairly HSS so I can put some power onto them and they'll stand up and the fade straight similar to a seasoned teebird when new. I originally picked one up for shots where I'd...

Been awhile since I've updated this thread. Nothing drastic has changed, but have had some minor rotation in the bag over the last year. Finally gave up on star destroyers. Between the CO altitude and the natural beef of the stack of McBeth/Wysocki destroyers I have, they're doing more harm to...

Thanks! This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Sounds like it should pair nicely with my SS & Glow throwers.

What's the scoop on Diamond warlocks? Thinking of grabbing one to complement an SS/SSS thrower from my backup stack to replace the p2 + nova combo I've been using (broke a couple of novas so am low on replacements, have a perfectly good stack of warlocks).

The TL or TL3 have both worked their way into my bag in that dx teebird slot. JLS in Millennium (pro) plastic is another good option. There have also been a couple great runs of DX teebirds lately (stiff, firm) that hold up a lot better than the waxy dx runs of a few years ago, so maybe keep...

BT plastic is more durable than you're giving it credit for here. I've had the same 2 harps (BT Hard (OS) & BT Medium (extra OS)) in my bag for the better part of 2 years, and neither is radically less overstable than new.

I did a pretty simple straight wrap that's essentially #1 here, with a basic tie off at the and of the handle: https://www.wikihow.com/Wrap-Paracord-Around-a-Knife-Handle Kind of weird, but if you search paracord knife wraps, you're right, there are a zillion options out there. Which one you...

Realized my previous reply was in response to a minor necro, so to respond to Halbrust.... give the 'cat a chance? I don't bag it regularly, but it's up there on my list of one round discs (caveat: backhand mostly, not too much wind... so putter only type rounds). My GF and I have been using one...

This. For example, if you've ever bought a can of peanuts, the general shape of the top of that is the prototypical lid. They're usually pretty floaty and somewhere from slightly understable to straight stable (the disc golf version, not the top to the can of peanuts). In practice, something...

Ditto TL3/TL, or even DX teebird if you're into that kind of thing. I find that star/champ Teebirds stay too stable, even when they beat in, but a slightly beat in DX or TL/3 are perfect, and not irreplaceable. What does the rest of your bag look like?

Elevation matters. That seems to have been covered though so... For many players, an Avenger SS or Sidewinder are going to be the best max-D driver you can buy, and will make the game way more fun.

My take would be: stick to your go to discs, and pull everything else out of the bag. Of the stuff you've marked as go to (all great choices!), I'd look at Champ or Star versions of the Teebird, TL3, Pro versions of the Orc, Valk, Beast, and Leopard, and then stick to baseline for the rest. For...
