the title say it what discs did you really like but just didn't make the bag.
here are my to 5
1. ringer plastic durability issues
2. cyclone
3. flying squirrel
4. fl
5. northman
 
Beast
Wraith
buzz ss
pain
banger gt
avair's
magnet
reef
roadrunner
boss
nuke
birdie
stratus
avenger
TL
eagle
Valkeries

I have carried these discs in an eventual evolution to my current bag which Im currently happy with will need some fine tuning. But the above discs have gotten alot of love from me.

my top 5 favorites that lost their place to disc in parenthises

1. Wraith (xcalibers)
2. Buzz ss (fuse)
3. Valkerie (sidewinders)
4. Banger GT (ss wizard)
5. Pain (wasp)
 
All Innova mids and putters.

Most Discraft drivers

Most putters in current production!

Kinda weird how my drivers are innova, mids discraft, putters gateway.
 
DD (couldn't beat out the Wraith)
Teebird (prefer eagles)
Archon (don't really use -2+2 discs but this one flew nicely)
Katana (got d but prefer pro destroyer)
 
1. Qms (no real reason for cutting, great disc)
2. C-MD2 (same as above, like the Nebula a wee bit better)
3. Cyclone (it went into the lake)
4. Magic (Summit kicked its ass)
5. Sentinel MF (really underrated mid surrounded by Hornets, Wasps, and Vectors)
 
old Omega SS (now use JK's- cheaper)
Aurora MS (Ion)
Voodoo (the same Ion)
Kite (Stingray- prefer flat, not domey)
Roc (Buzzz- cleaner release)
 
cyclone, fuse, wizard, jls, drone, rhyno, buzzz? (axis is currently awesome), surge, and spider...in no particular order.
 
Rhino-I carry a ESP banger and a zone already
teebird- carried both for a while, but prefer eagles
axis- I can do the same thing with a buzzz
pain- hornet is faster and more stable overlapped too much with a buzzz
wraith- I carry a flow for long turnovers and destroyers for max D
 
Wasp... it basically came down to Wasp vs. Hornet. Hornet won out because it felt more like a Roc in my hand with, for me, a very similar flight.

JLS... simply moved up to a longer, more stable, driver... the OLF.
 
My River is still in the bag, but I just found my old super beat Millennium Polaris LS that basically kicks the River in the dick. I dunno... the River definitely has better glide, but the Polaris has a way better feel in my hand... plus I feel more comfortable with it. Haven't made a decision yet.
 
Z buzzz (vector) buzzz was too neutral, didn't offer the options a vector does
R pro aviar (soft ion) bought the hype and haven't looked back
Nuke (Orc) the Orc gives me the same distance with a lot more control
SS Surge (valk) tried the surge for a few months, great disc but the valk is just too good at what it does to ever be replaced.
Pro D buzzz (vector) a forehand vector covers all the shots the uber flippy buzzz did while keeping my discs down to a minimum
 
D Banger GT--> Stiff Elite X Challengers - Better glide from Challengers
Z Buzzz--> Z Buzzz SS - Have more control with the SS model
Z XS--> Z Trackers - XS flipped to easily; Trackers cover the stable Buzzz shots
Opto Havoc--> Z Nuke SS - They do the same for me. Just wanted Discraft.
GL XXX--> Z Nuke OS - I can do more with the OS.

I tried a good bit of different stuff this year. Gona keep the bag the same all year this year though.
 
wasp-no need for it with a buzz hornet drone
eagle- teebird beat it out although I am reconsidering
leopard-river's got that spot
 
Discraft makes great discs, but the only mold by them that I still own is the Hornet.

So, all Discraft discs except the Hornet... and the Impact that I never liked.
 
Discs that I love but have moved out of my bag and what replaced them (in parenthesis):

Elite-Z Flick (Flat Firebirds)
Current Production Wraith ('06 Augusta and '07 Wraith)
Any TeeBirds (Much Prefer the Flight of the Eagles X's)
Star Vulcans (Star Archons and Domey Champion Katanas)
Wizards (Chains Aviars and Stiff KC Pro Aviars)
