JFB3 2018 Tourney setup

[jfb3]

Me: Age: 57, Sex: M


Driver:
174 400 D2 - main overstable driver
168 400G D3 - understable, turnovers, low power hyzerflips
173 400 D3 - max distance drives
172 400G D1 - Overstable
174 Proto D1 - flat, Super Overstable
173 400 X2 - Forehands, a little more overstable, less glidey than the D2, wind fighter
174 X1 - FLAT, OVERSTABLE
173 400? D4 - beat in, Rollers
174 400 D2 - Backup

Control:
167 Opto Saint Pro - glidey, (uses: bad footing, uphill, lower powered shots)
175 Champ Thunderbird - a little turn at power
175 Champ Glow Thunderbird - High speed stable, solid in the wind
174 Sparkle Enemy - like a FAF Firebird

Fairway:
171 Champ Leopard3 - understable, hyzerflips
171 S-Line FD - Wheeee!
176 400G F2 - straight to understable, basically a longer mid, might not stay in the bag
173 750 F3 - some turn, fades back, glidey, great uphill
175 400 F2 - now it's straight, lost it's fade at full power, don't trust it into the wind
172 400 F1 - overstable

Mid:
178 400G M4 - understable to straight
179 400G M2 - Straight, very long
180 750 M2 - domey, overstable, 400G lost it's fade
179 750 M1 - overstable
170 400 A2 - OVERSTABLE
176 Lucid Verdict - Because I throw it better forehand than the others

Putter:
174 Electron Anode (x2) - main putter
168 DX Aviar - beat in - Anny shots
175 Gold Line Pure - straight, straight, straight
175 VIP Shield - Overstable
173 750 A4 - Approaches, ground trick shots


For rocky, hilly, greens I'll also carry a Soft Shield for approaches.

I'm plan on cycling F1s (and F2s ??) for fairways as they break in.
If the M2s break in right I might cycle M2s into the M4 slot.
If the Pure breaks in it should cycle into the understable slot.
The 400G F2 probably won't stay in the bag, right now it's a safety blanket.


Also in the bag, Testing:
175 750 F5 - testing, straight
174 Lucid Felon - testing

I'll carry backups for tourneys with lots of danger.

Yeah, it's a lot of discs. Some of them only come out at certain courses. Some of them are rarely used (X1), but when I need them nothing else will do, I've got them.

All of this in a Prodiscus Jetpack 30+ carried on a Zuca EZ Cart.

Man, that's a lot of discs to lug around!

How far are you throwing?

 

[ODRB]

That is a CRAZY number of discs. Like Feldberg in the oughts crazy.

 

[jfb3]

400-450 with a the D3.
I've thrown a 174 Proton Catalyst out to 490 a few times.
I'm pretty controlled with a D2 to up to 420 with a straight to hyzer.
M2s out to 350 maybe 360 if I throw it really hard.

 

[jfb3]

That is a CRAZY number of discs. Like Feldberg in the oughts crazy.

Yeah, lots of discs.
I can play most courses with a D2, Firebird, F1, M2, Shield, and a putter.
Everything else is a variation on that, except the A4. I swear it's made of some magical magnet that makes it go to the basket and stop there.

I do carry them sometimes, when the course isn't cart friendly. But mostly now I pull a Zuca EZ cart.

Too many discs. You really only need like half of those. Self admitted you carry all those discs for exercise. Now that you have the cart get em out. PS, you're going down at the Brier Patch in a few weeks

PS, you're going down at the Brier Patch in a few weeks

Probably, my last few rounds have been noob quality, at best.

 

[mrtho]

Ok I gotta ask since you obviously like Prodigy and dont mind carrying around a whole proshop with you why no M3? Granted I have a noodle arm and max out around 200 or so most days, but I carry one and it is every bit as versitle as a Mako3.

It's the cart, it's made you soft.

I have an M3. (180, 400 M3)
It doesn't do anything special. There aren't any shots that I feel it does that I can't make happen with my current line up. It's not as HSS as the M2s, not as easy to flip up or anny as the M4, etc. It feels a tiny bit thinner (not as tall), I prefer big beefy feeling mids and putters. There's no reason to have it.

I also have an M5 but only carry it on really short, tight, woodsy courses like The Sinks in Chattanooga.

I'm going to sell or trade the M3, it's practically brand new. Thrown in an open field a few times.

I had a Champ Mako3. I didn't like the way it felt in my hand. I traded it for an FAF X1, even swap.

And here I thought it was the 25 degree weather and kidney stones. But, what do I know.

 

[jfb3]

The M1 doesn't see a lot of throws since I added the 750 M2, the M1 might not make the bag in the spring. We'll see over this winter.

I switched some of the fairways.
Leopard3 is gone it was flipping too easily.

F3 gone.

Two F5s in. One is really straight with just a touch of fade at the end, holds a baby flex to 365-375 and still fade back, the other one is understable, is more controllable, and feels better in the hand than the Leo3.

Switched the F2s for a more overstable version.

I lost my favorite Thunderbird at Harmony Bends so I put in a new one. Now this one is the beefier one in the bag and the Champ Glow Thundy is the straighter one. I have another used one I traded for that I want to break in a lot more to make it have some turn and glide. The Champ Glow Thundy doesn't glide (it's flatter) but gets downrange quick.

The Proto D1 and X1 aren't in the bag a lot.
I carry the Proto D1 on big open courses when it's windy.
I carry the X1 on unfamiliar courses that are tighter and on unfamiliar courses.

If I need a roller I'll add an Opto Fury or a really beat in D4.

I added a backup Saint Pro to get used to it in case something happens to the first one.

I switched to a spin putt but still like the Anodes. They've been working well. (Sometimes, now I'll putt with a BT Med Shield for fun, man it's nice, hmmmmm.)

Yeah it's a lot of discs. Do I use all of them? Not all on the same course. It's a luxury carrying a Felon and an Enemy, a backup Saint Pro, and seven drivers. But right now it's easier for me to throw the one way and let the disc do the work. I've been working on consistent hyzerflip release angles both forehand and backhand, it's difficult.

For more casual rounds I'll sometimes only carry:
D2, understable D3, Enemy, F2, understable F5, straight M2, M4, Shield, Anode
Put it in a DD Trooper bag and have some fun.
