I gotta remember this thread when my new plastic comes in. I saw a pic of my purple Opto Vision that's on the way. It's slick.

Love the beat up looking putters. Are they some Wizards?
Is that a Vox in the background?
just to see if i could... heres 25 discs in a fade bag
6 putters 6 mids 13dr, usable...but full - i carry half that...
trying to decide what i want for zipper pulls, fades looked cheap/simple/noisy...
i have a handful of leather string? that i hope on braiding... or somethin - undecided
wanna make one side a set of birdie beads...
some other minor things to come... got some great ideas for bigger mods... but not this week
my favorite part is the two putter pocket. i also like the bag tag clip
Phew here goes. Post #1.
Just started disc golf in December (currently in MA - yes it was cold+snowy)
Immediately fell in love with the game. I started with a simple discraft starter set and added a Stalker driver. (I started playing Discraft because other people who got me started throw mostly Innova - Figured it was a good way to keep things separate.) Also started with a tiny bag that held like 5 discs.
Then, like most noobs :clap::clap:, I got some money together and decided to justify getting a collection. However, I do understand the merits of building up a collection and getting better at certain techniques rather than relying on a million discs when starting out.
I went with 12 discs (total, including the ones I had before). My thought was to get discs that range in stableness, and to buy things in a few different plastics. This way over time I could learn the feel of the plastics and how to reign in on the different stabilities. For my two favorite discs at the time (Buzzz and Stalker), I decided to get an extra of each. For the Buzzz, I now have a Pro D and a Z one; for the stalker I have 2 Z ones, but in different weights so I can learn more about the differences. My Pro D Buzz and XL are already getting beat up, and are turning into great S-curve discs (right then left).
Plus I shelled out for a Dual Pack Lite. I like the look and feel quite a bit and seems to suit my needs.
So the collection is
Predator (FLX)
XL (Z) 1.7
XL (Pro D) 0
2x Stalker (one heavier)
Avenger SS (Z)
Drone (FLX)
Wasp (X)
Buzzz (Pro D)
Buzzz (Z)
Banger GT
Magnet
Just starting to throw more consistently and farther... finally getting up over 250'... and most of them don't chuck into the woods now I do find myself usually reaching for 4-5 of those discs, which seems to be helping my consistency. I do like having other options in the bag though.
If any veterans out there think I made some horrible mistake or have a recommendation on something I missed, I'd be happy to hear it.
Welcome to the game! We have a couple of members from MA, where are you located?
That lineup will work pretty well for you for quite awhile. Great job on the disc selection!
heres some pics of my bag
its a fade tourney, hat rack, courtesy of marshall street
bag's pretty much black and basic, and i'm sure yall seen pics of em before...
first i'd like to say, nice bag, really dig it
all my issues, or criticisms are minor and they are as follows
the rain flap i coulda gone without, wish it was fully removeable, or least not lined with mesh, i'd prefer to not roll it up, the mesh i fear will get hung up on thorns, twigs, etc, like my other bag did... almost has to be rolled up, and there its just unnecessary lookin, thought bout tucking it inside, but then the velcro is un usable
mini pocket dont fit my ace race mini... i have no other mini's.... tear
although the "rollcage" is sweet... i feel the need to "create" my own seperators or something, they work well on the ends, but not so well in the middle, but i think it'll "break i n" and loosen up
and the strap... junk... seriously, i wasn't expecting much... but i think i actually giggled when i seen it
i expected a quad hook up anyways - no biggie
for the dollar, i truly believe its the best you could get
i am completely satisfied, too many plusses to list
the bottom has a diferent material than the sides... tougher? never seen another fade bag in person so i have nothing to compare to, but it looks and feels durable,
i seen another thread here or on dgr about "coatings" to add to the bottom, i'm a sucker, so i went out and bought a can of plasti dip and coated my bag, friggin sweet heh
i play in alot of mud, and wanted an easy way to keep the bottom looking nice, easy to rinse, waterproof... and of course i'm a dork and just wanted to do something to my bag
so, here you can see my 2 diferent coats, first coat soaks in well, 2nd coat gave a nice layer of rubber across the bottom, i didnt mask it, i like the rough line look
heres the whole bottom, looks weird in the pic cause the flash, really flexible, it looks rippled, but its cause the bag is loose, if i put the cage back in it, it strectches flat, flattens out ... what ever
i'm sure it added some weight, but its on its way to being carried for many years to come
i'm currently brainstoming what else to do, already cut the zipper pulls off and replaced with leather pulls, they looked cheap, and i like leather, and they are completly silent now - no jingle
gonna create a raincoat for it, seen the fade straps condom, and i think thats a good "removeable" item i'd like to come up with,
also, gotta find a hook up on some straps... i'm not spending no 40 bucks on em, i'm currently lookin for "tool suspenders" as an option... maybe i'll post up a wanted ad in here... who knows, but i gotta get some type a harness
i'm tired of rambling, any questions, wanna point and laugh... have at it
