Throwing Style: LHBH, very little OH.
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Lucid Judge: 200/240'; Buzzz: 250/280'; Escape/Stag: 310/330'
Longest Drive Fieldwork: Mamba: 380' on a hyzer flip in a tailwind.

Optional:
Age: 30
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: None
Other sport proficiencies?: None
Additional Information: Loving the game, planning to participate in my first tourney this summer hoping not to be the worst player that shows up...
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: Still figuring out how to structure my bag as in whether to get more specific use cases for discs and have a wide array of molds/discs/weights, or simplify the molds but expand plastics/weights. Also on the fence about attempting to "season" or "cycle" discs although I'm not sure with the plastics I buy that there is a meaningful difference in 6 months of use on Champ/Z/GL/Fuzion ETC.
Specific areas of desired feedback: Gaps in my bag, anything you think might be helpful.
Immediate and long-term goals: Consistently (85%+) make 25-35' putts, Consistently park sub 300' holes, Try out thumbers/tomahawks, Develop roller throw form and choose disc for it, Long term is to develop the ability to throw 400' when needed.
Currently what's in my Bag:
Drivers:
175 Quantum Scorpius SP13 (new) – probably shouldn't use it but it works great for heavy headwinds when thrown flat or for massive (for me) flex shots where I will throw a hard anny to come around something and can be assured the disc will still fade hard.
175 ESP Surge SP11 (used but stable) – Stable, full power drives. Headwind.
171 Biofuzion Renegade, (new) – Long Hyzerflips/ S-Curves when thrown flat
170 GL Saint Pro SP9 (new) – comparing to culverin for O/S Control Driver Duties
170 Opto Culverin SP9 (new) – comparing to Saint Pro for O/S Control Driver Duties
174 GL Biofuzion Escape SP9 (new) – I use this for most holes under 350' as long as a headwind isn't present – Main Driver
171 Tournament Stag SP8 (new) – I use this where I would normally use the Escape but there is a headwind present
172 Biofuzion Witness SP8 (new) – I use this disc when I want an anhyzer to stay in the turn.
170 GL River SP7 (slightly beat) – My do anything control disc, upshots over 150', tunnel shot hyzerflips.
171 Opto Warship SP7 (new) – Havent tried it yet but I love the ROC3/MID Feel and will see if I am more comfortable with it over the river for upshots etc.
Mids:
170 Big Z Buzzz, (new) – Stable Mid, purchased this after losing my very first disc a beat up X Buzzz.
176 Tournament Harp (new) – Replaces my lost ROC3, I use it for reliable fade on upshots and head winds on short holes.
172 Biofuzion Truth (new) – Bought this with the intention of being my stable/slightly OS mid only to find it is rather flippy/US for me when thrown out to 200+. I currently use primarily for shorter holes where I want to throw anhyzers, but also on short holes with a tailwind (we have a few holes on my home course that are 200-230).
Putters:
175 Lucid Judge, (new) – Driving Putter, I have begun using this off and on where I would normally throw a stable mid and usually get similar results. I just bought the judges about 3 weeks ago but so far they are becoming my favorite putter. Still trying things as they come along or I see them out but so far I think I may have found my "it" putter.
175 Prime Judge (new) – Putting Putter, first judge I bought to try out the shape and feel, still looking at purchasing the other blends/plastic to test for feel.
175 Medium Zero Gauntlet (slightly beat) – very similar feel flight path to the judge for me, I had this before the judges and loved it but could not find a premium plastic gauntlet locally to pick up so I went with the Judges.
Planned Bag arrangement: (looking for tips/advice if this is subpar)
any ? is where I am looking for a similar disc and open to suggestions
SP10/11 O/S: Not sure if I need one but open to suggestions along with use case scenarios my SP9 O/S wouldn't cover at my skill/power level.
SP10/11 Stable:Surge or ?
SP10/11 U/S: Renegade
SP9 OS: Saint Pro or Culverin or Predator
SP9 Stable: Escape
SP8 Stable/OS: Stag
SP6/7: Warship or River or ?
SP5 O/S: Harp
SP5 Stable: Buzzz or ?
SP5 U/S: Truth or ?
O/S Putting: ? (have tried challenger and rhyno thus far)
Stable Putting: Judges for all putting duties
After I nail down my bag I will probably begin picking up a spare for each disc.
I also own but am not bagging:
Nuke SP13 too fast, Nuke SS SP12 too fast, Crank SP12 too fast, Predator – currently trying out saint pro and culverin, Insanity U/S less US than mamba and renegade, Fireball (meathook can't throw beyond 250'), Avenger SS – SP10 U/S I either disc up to the renegade or disc down to the witness currently don't feel this fits my current bag well, Groove SP13 too fast, Katana SP13 too fast, Valkyrie – too much S curve when thrown flat for the course I play most the escape works better for me on any shot I would use this for, Vision – found this but seems similar to the witness may swap soon to test, Zombee – overlap with warship/river and doesn't fit my hand as well, Mako – was awkward to grip/throw ,Wasp - puddle top not as consistently OS as I hoped might pull it back out now that I have improved, Aviars – I practice with them at the house on my portable goal, Challengers – same as aviars.
I have had and sold/traded/lost:
ROC3, Archon, MAKO3, Rival, Sidewinder, Surge SS, Wraith, Omega SS's, Stratus, Xpress, Comet.
