Out of everybody here at Flying Dutchman, I have been playing disc golf the longest. I started in the Spring of 2011 and haven't looked back since. When I started playing I threw 99% of shots forehand and the other 1% where overhands. I grew up playing baseball and those shots just seemed to click with me. I have since been developing my backhand, but still consider myself a dominate forehand player, as I struggle on most days to throw over 300 feet on my backhand.
Now what is currently in my bag: I carry 27 discs with me, but I only really use 18 of them. The other 9 are some discs that I have been testing out to see if I can improve my game.
I will start with my putters. I carry 4 175 Innova Jk Pro Aviar-X's. I use two for putting (Blue and Orange) and the other two are really just there to be there.
For shorter forehand drives and overhands shots I throw my 173 opto Trident. I have an issue with teeing off with my Zone, I just never have a good throw off the tee, so I was happy to find the Trident. I can comfortably throw the disc flat or with a mild hyzer up to 300 ft.
The rest of my mid ranges all fly about the same, just with varying stablilty. I throw all my mids backhand around 260 ft. For my mid ranges, my 177 medium Vibram Ibex is the most under stable, followed by my 178 Lat. 64 Opto Claymore, and then my 178 Prodigy M3 is the most stable, for me.
My fairway drivers are my most favorite discs to throw. I carry a 166 DD Fuzion Witness, a 169 Lat. 64 Opto Maul, a 168 MVP Neutron Amp, a 165 firm Vibram Valley, and a 167 Innova GStar Teebird. I put these in order of stability for me. As of right now, the Maul is the most thrown disc in my bag. The glide on that disc is fantastic.
I carry 6 distance drivers. I throw two Vibram Laces, one 166 medium that is super beat and a 166 firm that is still fairly new. These are my favorite discs for distance. I throw these forehand and don't have to do too much to have them go 350 ft. I also carry 167 medium O-Lace as the overstable compliment to those two. I carry a 167 Neutron MVP Photon. I like that having this along side the O-Lace as the plastic is a bit firmer. My last two distance drivers are a 168 Innova Champion Daedalus and a 169 DD Lucid Renegade. I throw these two backhand primary. They feel good in my hand and on days when I feeling it, I can throw them pretty well.
For my bag, I am currently carrying a Hyzerbomb FlakX and I couldn't be happier. This is one of the underrated bags on the market. It's got way to much storage space for discs, and really anything else that I will need. Keep an eye out in the future for an in depth review of this bag. I have only had it for about a month and have not tested it enough yet to feel comfortable about writing a review.
So yeah, those are the discs that I throw on almost every round in my bag. Thanks Guys!
Keep throwing!
