What's In Your Bag???

[StrikerME02]

Hey guys, just wondering what is in each of your bags and what type of throws you use each disc in your bag for.

[Dan Michler]

Alright, I'm looking to kill some time here at work so I'll reply to this thread that always gets restarted by some new yokel every 3 months.   Afterall, I'm sure you're all dying to know what Dan Michler has in his red Revolution bag.  Its not a bunch of DX Stratusses if that was your guess.  And other than an occasional thumber, they are all used for normal backhand shots.  If I am forced to throw a sidearm, I just randomly pull out a disc and pray for the best.

3 Champ Bosses  (headwind distance, hyzer shots)
1 Star XCaliber  (no clue why this is in my bag, i stopped using it)
1 Champ XCaliber  (super strong headwind or hard hyzers)
1 Star Max       (just a backup to the Champ XCal)
1 Champ Monster (thumbers)
1 Champ Monarch   (turnover shots)
2 Champ Orcs  (for getting a hyzer to flip up flat)
1 Champ Groove (downwind distance)
3 DX Aviars   (i use them when I need to airball putts or hit the bin, also upshots within 150 feet)
3 ESP FLX Buzzes  (every midrange shot is with these, usually anything up to 300 feet straight)
1 DX Leopard (rollers)
1 Star Destroyer  (i need to get this out of my bag, I never use it anymore)

So pretty much the Boss is my go-to driver for most open field shots where I can hyzer to the bucket.  Otherwise I'm looking to throw a Buzz whenever possible.  I haven't been able to work-in a more stable or understable midrange yet that I can throw with any consistency.  I may replace one of those discs I don't use with a Comet.

Just think what you could accomplish if you just carried one more disc!

What are the benefits of having a Buzzz, a Roc, and a Wasp. How do they compare and which ones are useful for which shots? I currently throw a Roc that I like, but have been looking into the Buzzz and Wasp.

[CEValkyrie]

I primarily use the KC Roc. I have 2 of them in the bag right now. One is nice and beat and the other is pretty stable. I use them for turnover and straight shots.

I added the Buzz to the bag last summer when Michler gave me his. With my style of throwing i've had problems throwing the Roc in low ceiling situations. I've found the Buzz is easier to throw lower with the glide. It stays in the air and flys while my Rocs tend to drop quickly at the end of it's flight. I also like the stabiltiy of the Buzz when it comes to windy situations. I can throw the Buzz quite a bit further than my Roc and it finishes pretty hard to the left at the end of it's flight.

The Wasp has been in the bag since 2003. It's super overstable and it's a great mid range disc into the wind. It's a great hyzer mid range. I can also throw it on anhyzer in certain situations and it will flex back. It's very predictable.

I got a new bag last year and its bigger.  That means less efficient packing and more flotsam and jetsam stuffed into it.

One interesting thing to see in this thread is who brings duplicates of discs they like and who does not. I do not  (other than putters) but would consider if it was  more of a wilderness round.

[Bruce Brakel]

I pack duplicates.  I play a lot of tournament rounds on courses I don't know that well.  It is easier to lose a disc when you don't know the course, for some reason. 

Also, there are two philosophies about throwing: get a disc for every shot, or learn how to throw your disc for every shot.  Everybody's bag reflects where they are on the continuum between those two points of view.  With only five molds in my bag, I'm toward the Ron Russell end of the continuum.
