I think this is what's making it difficult for me. If I go comet it's much more finesse (which I'm not terrible at.. I can get the comet close to 300' but haven't really tested myself beyond that) but when throwing a Wasp or Buzzz it's more of a power throw. I don't very much like having to make that adjustment thought not too difficult.
You say you don't carry terribly os mids. Can you elaborate as to why or point me in the right direction? I'm deliberately carrying a nutsac because I really want to learn how to work discs in more lines rather than one disc for each line.. I struggle with indecision in this way.
Yeah, there's a pretty big speed gap between the Buzzz and Comet, definitely a learning curve shifting gears between them. The Fuse is my Comet while I primarily throw hard, Buzz like discs like the Nebula, Evidence and Breaker I have to occasionally lean on the Fuse (and Polecat) to get the OAT out of my form.
I carry a Breaker and a Banshee so between the two an OS mid isn't really needed. I use my Banshee a lot for headwinds, thumbers, FH, FH rollers, etc and the Breaker is a terrifically HSS putter that's easy to range and huck down short, wooded holes. A Drone or whatever would just take up space.
My issue is that I threw so many discs and while I understood what each disc should do I struggled at certain things. For instance if I wanted to put anhyzer on a throw id roll my wrist or trying to hyper flip and throwing to the moon. These were by products of only throwing discs flat and carrying around 16. Not to mention I only pulled about 6 of those 16 for a given round. The nutsac I have easily holds 8 including 2 putters.
I'm trying to roll with 2 to 3 mids, 2 putters, and 3 to 4 drivers. I know for a fact it does limit me to a degree but not nearly as much as I thought. Secondly, and maybe more confusing, I want to improve my game but I really am just a casual player and can't really justify carrying 20 discs. I do have an Innova starter back so I can add multiple discs if I need to but I rarely use that.
IME the mold for every shot approach works good for courses you're really familiar with. It's when you start playing courses blind that the minimalism really shines. Once you get a core set of discs you know like the back of your hand your confidence will skyrocket. It's great for tourneys too and I think most players would be kidding themselves if they said they didn't lean on their favorites. Most tourney guys carry a gazillion discs but it's really their core go-to's, the backups to those discs and then some
better to have and not need than to need and not have discs. On a good day you can get adventurous with disc selection and it will pay off, give you that little bit of edge to turn a good round into a great round. On a bad day you're way better off keeping it nice and simple with your security blanket discs instead of chasing that perfect line.
If you're still reading this I'll keep typing. The 2 putter approach was hard for me. I'm anal about my putter getting knicked up so the Breaker became my throwing putter (with power). The Polecat became my throwing putter (with finesse). I used to combine these roles with an Ion but I felt like the extreme strengths of the two outweighed the versatility of the one. 2-3 mids is easy though, even though I have a serious mid fetish. My trusty Nebula for dependable HSS and decent LSS still and the Fuse for US finesse goodness. An Evidence or Squall sneaks in between the two for sneaky long frozen ropes through the woods and b/c my bag has the space. 3-4 drivers is a good number starting out. An OS utility disc, stable workhorse, an US complement to the workhorse and an all-purpose Max D driver for funsies and to grow into is a good set-up.
