[Recommend] 3-Disc Bag

[emiller3]

Haven't kept up on equipment in the last couple years but I'm in Seattle for the week, didn't bring my discs, and decided to go play a few courses casually. Seems like a good time to try some new discs, I only wanna buy three, any recommendations on what I might be able to try and cover all the shots with? I have a decent forehand and backhand, looks like most holes will be < 380'.

If I had my bag, I'd probably bring:

• KC Aviar (< 280')
• CE Roc (< 330')
• Teebird or Valk (< 400')

I'd always have to have 4 discs at the very least:

putting/throwing putter: Electron Pilot
OS approach: Z Zone
neutral to slightly US midrange: Opto-X Fuse
Straight to fade fairway: Teebird

 

[@CD-]

OLF/MVP Tesla/DGA Banzai
JLS/Mint Jackalope
Invader/MVP Ohm

Looks to be fairly nice weather with calmer wind conditions. Perfect opportunity to try out some new/different molds as well.

Is it a good shop with access to a lot of companies?

If I had my bag, I'd probably bring:

• Gold Line Pure
• Neo Origin
• Fuzion Vandal

Or something very close

Seems like it has a good selection: https://emeraldcitydiscs.com/

Personally I'd skip the straight fairway and go putter, neutral mid and overstable fairway (firebird or alike) or even an overstable distance driver. I find that I can cover a lot of the straight drives with my mid and I'd rather have something accurate and dependable with more stability in the driver.

[RahvinKing526]

Stable-Overstable Fairway
Neutral-Stable Mid
Stable Putter

For me this is a Fortress, Gatekeeper, and Wizard

 

[ArtemisClydFr0g]

KC or Nexus Firefly
C-line MD3
Thunderbird

Three discs would be putter, understable fairway (no mid, gasp) and a slightly overstable driver. For me an understable fairway is more workable than any mid (and a roller disc). Stable putters throw far anyway. Stable driver with lower power in place of an overstable fairway/approach. Plus stable drivers are long if needed.

P2
Essence
Enigma

Star Eagle-X
Atomic Piwakawaka
Invader

That's what I have been currently using

Envy/Servo/Wave here, but I'm strongly biased toward the MVP family.

 

[Dubbsy]

This year rainmaker, md1, and draco.

 

[zontar]

just got back from NC and only wanted to take 3 discs on the plane. Teebird3, Rat, and JK Aviar. fun combo!

 

[jmdaire27]

I like where auzcar is thinking. If it's wooded, an OS fairway is very useful.

Mostly wooded:
Judge (or Reko), Old Truth, Felon

If open/longer:
Judge, Emac Truth, Enigma

Of these, I'd really recommend tying the Enigma. Quintessential workhorse distance driver for high-300' to sub-400'. Destroyer flight for the average.

I'm assuming they're mostly broken in, so I would go:

Baseline beaded putter
DX or KC Flat Top Roc
Star Teebird3

 

[seedlings]

This year rainmaker, md1, and draco.

How much farther can you throw the MD1 vs Rainmaker? I haven't thrown the MD1 but the Rainmaker is pretty long.
