I carry 2 other drivers, but I can't remember what they are. I usually only throw about 8-10 of the 19 that I carry on a course. A lot I just carry so that I can see how they would fly in the same conditions.
currently all weights around 168-172 except putters are 175
Discs I usually throw as drivers even though I really don't have the arm for them:
Champ Orc
Champ Viking
Z Flash
Champ Beast
Champ Sidewinder
shorter drivers:
Champ Firebird
Gateway Hybrid
long mids:
Z Storm
H Element
short to mid mids:
Champ Roc- favorite disc
Champ Gator- I can't throw far but can stop it on a dime.
X stratus
beat to snot dx Roc- whenever I intend for the disc to fly upside down- tomahawks etc.
Putters:
Cryztal Challenger- approach and wind
Putt and Approach Aviar
I really like the Z wasp but it really does the same thing as the Roc for me. If I ever lose or break the Roc the Wasp will take its place.
You never know when you need a firebird Dan. They are good for everything. Hyzer, Anhyzer, rollers, putting (i even showed u the firebird putt on hole 8 at parkside). Just all around great disc.
In my bag I have two monster nuts and an Aviar
A bunch o' frisbees.
In my bag I have umm err AIR....
I am married my wife has my............
Oh Discs!!! Well in that case...........

1 DX Teebird (168 or beat 172)
1 Star or KC Pro Teebird (171)
1 Z-Crush (168 these days)
1 D Stratus (171 I think)
2 Champ Sidewinder (174, and I just bought a 167 to replace the 168 I left on the practice field)
1 Pro and/or KC Pro Banshee (170+)
1 or 2 Champ Orcs (166ish and 157; go ahead and laugh, but it works for me)
1 DX Firebird (174)
1 Pro or Champ Firebird (166ish)
2 DX Rocs (168, 171, sometimes a 150)
1 Z-Wasp (170ish)
1 SE Rhyno (most comfortable putter)
1 Wizard (175, hyzerish putts)
1 150 Aviar (long desperate putts if it's not windy)
1 Cyclone, 171ish? really beat (hyzer flip & flop in the right situation; this disc still has the $3.99 sticker from
Play it Again Sports in Sheboygan from about 1999 8) )
I threw all of these at one time or another at Parkside except for the replacement SW, the Cyclone and the flimsy Aviar
so I think I'll stick with this blend for awhile; although if I play Oly on Sunday I'll probably dump most of the drivers and
carry closer to 10 or 12 discs.
The Z-Wasp saved my a** numerous times last weekend, and the 174 Sidewinder might be
the most versatile disc (for me) I've ever thrown- except for dealing with a headwind it can do pretty much anything.
Since I just posted about the Gateway...

Gateway uses Nike plastic. Nike's name isn't on the disc, but their material is used.
QuoteGateway uses Nike plastic. Nike's name isn't on the disc, but their material is used.
i thought that was only for a limited run of those mint green speed demons and spirits
They just used the remainder of their stock of the overgrind from the nearby Nike plant to make a run of Spirits and Speed Demons. Best plastic ever.
that did have a nice tacky feel to it - real easy to grip and rip. it is a shame that the lips on those things are a mile wide or i'd probably throw them more often.

Too bad I can't throw either of those discs.. well not the Speed Demon anyways. It will be nice when Dave decides to update the damn website one day though.. Way too many new discs out from them and I've been out of the loop long enough to not have a clue what they have out these days.
Going back to a comment from Brett.. I will agree that GDS-QAT needs to put a LOT more effort into marketing.

A cople of months ago I decided to cut back on the number of different discs I throw. I've gone from carrining 23 discs to 13. This leaves a lot more room in my cart for snacks, water, snacks, gatorade, snacks, dog treats, snacks, Advil, and snacks.
I can't figure out how I can play 2 rounds a day at Token and not loose weight. As a matter of fact I think I may be putting on a few pounds. Guess I'll have to play three rounds a day.
maybe its all the snacks in your bag pat... ;)
