Look into my bag and tell me what it is you see....

[livextreme9]

I had to update my bag since I am now throwing all shots (other than putts) LHBH, although I am working on putting LH as well. I hurt my right shoulder during my deployment last year and it's only getting worse. I was only able to throw 1 drive RHBH the other day. :\

Seems like a lot.....that mixed with throwing righty and lefty just seems like a lot? It's a constant battle to keep the bag simple for me, but score better by knowing how to make the most out of some favorites.i watched an interview with Paul where he gave the hole by hole breakdown of his round. He Threw the same driver on almost every hole. You know it wasn't he same distance , conditions, distance or shape on all the drives. Personally, I just try to stay away from "one trick pony" discs as I feel they r just dead weight. Carry as many , or as few , as you want. If you feel your missing something, carry some more.

 

[livextreme9]

Some discs are only in the bag to get beat in (1 KC Aviar, 1 Leopard, 1 Eagle), but I see what your saying. I have found that I prefer a little less stability LHBH due to not having enough snap. I also like to have options depending on how I am throwing that day. I am trying to minimize a little without dropping down too much. Maybe with a little more practice LHBH and I will find my groove.

 

[JTdisc]

Some overlap with overstable mids with the Suspect, Gator, and Verdict, especially considering the Truth is your straight driver. Yeah, I've thrown them all and know they're all a little different, but there is some overlap if you wanted to cut down on molds. The easiest to drop would probably be the Gator or Verdict.

I don't see any understable mids. You could cover those shots with a putter and a Leopard, however, so this isn't a huge hole.

Fairways look good.

Do you feel you need a distance driver that's a bit more stable than your Tern? (Firebird doesn't count, that's a utility or fairway disc). Something like a Boatman, Destroyer, Wraith, or PD to give you some distance into a headwind.

All in all the bag looks good.

 

[livextreme9]

The suspect is weird as it's not overstable at all. It''s hold any line for driving putter situations. That's all that it is used for. The Gator comes out in the wind, short skip shots and I like to throw spike hyzer upshots with it. It is very dependable. The verdict is for everything else. Open fairway shots, short dogleg drives or windy short drives. The Gator is more overstable than both Verdicts. I honestly use these 3 discs the most during a round.

Depending on the hole I can usually get away with my understable putter or Leopard, but I can also anny my 175g Truth.

I actually threw in a 175g Champ Boss last night. It's a flat top 13, 5, -1, 3. It'll hold a hyzer very well and can also be flexed a little if needed. I do want to find something different though as I want something a little lighter with a slighty slimmer rim.

Thanks for checking out my bag.

Aside from the OS mid overlap, your bag is pretty solid. I would recommend taking out the Suspect and work on the Gator or Verdict as for driving. As an idea, you should beat in one of your truths to have a nice straight and slightly understable mid. Also consider a max D OS disc to add in your bag. It would help a lot for spike hyzering over lefty crippling obstacles (Hole 13 Mtn. Crest)

 

[livextreme9]

I see what your saying Hybrid. I think I may start using the Verdict in place of the Suspect. The Gator is too overstable. I am working on beating in the 175g Truth for the spot your were talking about. I was thinking about taking out one of the Sidewinders and Boss to try out an Trespass/Enforcer for the stable/overstable driver slots. How would you rate the Trespass as I see you have it in your signature? How far do you throw it?

I have throwing shoulder, right knee and back issues. On days where I am feeling good and throwing well I bag an Xcal and a pair of DDXs (1 S-line and 1 C-line).

 

[elmexdela]

if you have all these issues why wouldnt you carry a bare bones minimalistic bag

 

[livextreme9]

I have good days and bad days. On the good or better days I can throw every disc in my bag. On the bad days I reach for the understable stuff and play conservative. Just because I have ailments doesn't mean I have to only carry 5 discs. My bag is setup so I can play any course at any given time whether I am feeling good or not.

what bag is your small bag? im in the market

 

[Bardu]

I like your bag construction. Seems like even though you carry quite a few discs, you have them pretty well organized. I like to carry the same mold in different plastics. Your bag has changed a lot since 2014 but its still kinda the same idea. Nothing too terribly fast either which I also like.

 

[livextreme9]

I don't necessarily have a small bag. My secondary bag is a Innova Super Heropack. I got it from a tournament I played in. If I want to carry only around 8-10 discs I will carry that since it has a divider in the disc compartment.
