This is the bag I used at a tournament a couple weeks ago. I've also been throwing my Soft Ion.

I failed to mention previously how key the Zone has been in the development of my forehand. I picked up the '22 Hammes when I played the Preserve in April. Four Zones is too many!

September saw my first couple rounds back after an ankle injury in July. I'm really appreciating the Anode. It fits seamlessly into the Ion cycle stability wise, feels similar in hand and shares many flight characteristics. Kind of like how I use a Roadrunner as another Sidewinder. The Reactor has also made an impression this year. I use it (forehand) as an extension of my Zones. Not as overstable, but with a nice workable and predictable stability that goes consistently longer.

I could throw your bag. Would like a Thrasher / Shryke in there though.

I actually tried a Shryke this summer. I just couldn't get it up to speed. I used to throw a Starlite Wraith in this spot, but I wanted to learn to "normal weight" discs. I'll have to try a Thrasher!
