This is so true!! I took only 6 discs to the course last weekend. Mostly putters and some mids. The mental clarity of not having choice overload was so refreshing. I spent more time enjoying the outdoors and the sun rather than carrying a load of discs to think about.
Yeah, my local course is short and super technical. Recently went out and did a putters only round. It changed my approach to a bunch of holes and I didn't feel all the pressure I usually put on myself.
I finally built a bag this year. For me personally, I tried to simplify it like this: one understable, one stable, and one overstable disc in each category from putter to driver. Ended up at about 16 discs plus my putting putters. Honestly I really only use 5 or 6 discs religiously. It is super nice having those extra discs to match the right shot selection at times though for sure
That’s about what I did, ended up with this: Distance Drivers: Raider, Enigma, Surge SS Fairway Drivers: Raptor, Escape, Assassin, F2, Stalker, Relay Midranges: Justice, Compass, Meteor Putters: Tactic, Atom, Magic, Judge, Berg I putt with the atoms
@@PoorGamer13 Nice! I ended with: Distance drivers: TD, CD3, PD, DD3, and a destroyer Fairways: Sidewinder, FD, FD2, Eagle X, and a firebird Mids: MD3, buzzz, and RocX3 Putters: star aviar, jk pro aviar, and P3X I put with hard exo links
Some tips for a beginner that wants to add three discs to beginner set? Started with Discmania Evolution. What would ad new options to try and would be throw techniques to these added disks? Or what would be 6 beginner discs to start over? Course I play has average length of 200 feet each. Lot of trees requiring curves left or right not so many straight corridors luckily.
@@JayDeeTee They have a great beginner set! If I started out all over again, I'd wish I had started with a discmania exo link for putting (thin profile compared to an aviar, feels better in the hand to me 🤷♂️), star aviar for a throwing putter, innova rocx3 or pig for overstable mid, discraft buzzz in esp or z plastic (I bag 3 now in different plastic and stability based on how they beat in, my go to for the majority of holes I play), discmania c-line FD or innova eagle for straight-overstsble driver, and a star innova sidewinder.
Yup. I like playing what I call "Starter Pack" rounds. I still have an Aviar, Shark, and Leopard DX set, and I have great rounds just throwing those 3 discs.
I recently did the same about a year ago. For backhands: 3 different molds of beasts, 2 leopard3s, 2 MDs, 3 avairs, for sidearms: 3 different levels of beat in destroyers, and 2 zones for forehand up shots. Made a big difference in confidence with grip and that sort of thing. Great video.
Man iv been playing about 8 months and figured out so much from youtube over my 8 months of playing and research. This video right here is probably the most informative disc golf video iv ever seen. So much information packed in a short video! I knew I had too many choices when I would go out on the course and just recently I was forced to rebuild my bag after it was stolen a few weeks ago when my truck was broken into. Now that iv started rebuilding my bag this video is going to help me so much starting out again with all fresh discs! You sir are a saint,I bid thee good fortune! May your discs never find an OB lay or a single tree(out of your favor,cause we all know sometimes a tree can save your ass) Good day sir!
Speaks the truth, started out with many discs finding my way, now I bag a few singles for situations but many 4x-2x same discs in different plastics, game elevated so much and continues too.
Just want to say thank you for breaking things down to be a smooth transition. Your videos have helped not only myself but my Fam. on the course! Holler if ya come to Indiana! BANG THEM CHAINS!!!
You’re preaching to the choir Robbie! After a solid 6 months in to disc golf (and totally obsessed), I started carrying 5-6 discs in my bag, and the freedom and confidence it’s given me is so empowering and I am less frustrated and confused. Not to mention I am scoring better 😊. Trusting your discs and knowing how they fly is so much more fun and builds confidence. My bag now consists of a Diamond, leopard (beat in), leopard3, Shark (beat in), Pearl, soft banger GT. These are all the discs I started with 6 months ago except the leopard3 and Pearl. LOVE my new Pearl ❤️❤️❤️
Took this advice and simplified my bag. Haven’t felt this great about it in a while: Wraith, Felon, Sidewinder, Teebirds, Leopard3s, Caiman, Emac Truths, Pig, Emac Judges. Feeling so much mental clarity and confidence. Thanks Robbie!
We call this the “Paradox of Choice” in the training and development world. I do this with my Maidens and Mavericks. Pretty much 90% of my throws these days.
That is how I am using Sharks, Shark 3 (have backups) and Impact (have backups). These are 90% of the shots at or under 200 feet. At 210 feet or further then I use others like my Stalker or my Valkyrie's/Dragon moving only to the Archon for controlled distance stuff and using the Dragon for the open shots in calm or tailwind.
Hey! Not sure if you will see this but I have an issue I keep running into. I can throw a vertex with a speed of 4 almost as far as I can throw a Archon with a speed of 11. I’m doing about 260ft to 290ft. The archon isn’t crashing left fast and has a good straight flight for most of its air time, but just doesn’t get that much further than I’d expect. Side note, I found your videos about 5 days ago and it’s already help me add consistency and a bit more distance to my throws! Keep up the good work.
This is very true! I carry a very simple bag (in my eyes at least). I carry one mold as my driver: Lat64 Diamond but I have 5 of them and all fly different for me. I have two molds for mids: Lat64 Fuse (3) and Lat64 Claymore (2). I then have two molds for putters: Lat64 Spike (2) for throwing and I putt with Lat64 Rubies.
This is probably the most useful topic in the sport. I did this years ago on my own and this alone made me much better at the game overall. Probably more important than my evolving form as i learned how to use my disc selection very well.
I found a disk selection trick that works for me... I have a cheap bag (A 90's $10 Coke promo soft thing)... andI have 14 disks and basically play 1 course (Island Bay Golf Course Wellington NZ... It's the side of a hill). What I found was if I use a disk, then place it at the back of the bag, Top side out, no that it matters... I would end up with 3-4 disks at the front of the bag that never moved.... They now sit on a shelf and I have 10 that all get used at least once on the course (Including an RPM so over stable I can throw it near Anhizer vertical before it stays anhyzer instead of flat of a hard fade... great for a forest section that is more tree than gap). I feel bad that my Jade is sitting at home... For me, Jades are a disk that just fly in a nice S and land just left of aim... every time... and seem to auto correct for my mistakes, not going too far astray unless I release in the wrong direction but There's no need for that on this course... there's no straight clear flat basket. I've now managed my 1st hole in one, which was on possibly my 1st 1 under par... and I have birdied the whole (only 10) course... If only I can do that on one round I'll be set !. Another interesting thing I have found.... Try wrong disks on tricky holes... I challenged my friend to a putter round... on a cross valley shot (hole 1) onto a 20 deg left hand down, trees on the right, ridge - he was using mids... With the putter he got his 2nd hole in one and has been so consistent with the putter (a disk he would have never used from tee on that 250ft, slightly down hill, very windy shot) that it's now his go-to disk for hole 1. And if it isn't a hole in one... its a grippy 'near rubber' putter. It stops quick rather than floating down the slope.
Great video! I was, and I mean WAS an avid fisherman who hoard all the best lures, fishing rods/line and reels on the market. I have over 30k worth of fishing gears! Anyways, for the past year, I have been disc golfing like a mad man. I own over 130 disc and since my game has elevated so much due to fieldwork and your videos, I have a very balance bag now. It consist of a handful of drivers, 4 fairways, 4 mids and 5 putters. I remember when I first started out, I had 10 drivers, 1 fairways, 1 mid and 2 putters (big skip game) 😂 I have come a long way. Currently, I can throw 400+ ft forearm and 380+ ft backhand
I needed this talk! Thanks! Total newb here and def making this mistake. Going to be paying a lot more attention to how my discs fly so I can narrow down what can stay in the bag and what needs to sit on the bench. Great vid!
lol came to comments to say the same thing. Occurred to me that much said here applies to board game design too - having a maximum of two or three good choices in any given situation makes for a faster, more comprehensible game than being overwhelmed with many unclear options.
I love my pigs..my " child " is a pink pig with a flat top..thing is a pin seeker..forehand touch ups..all day! Don't even hardly throw mids anymore..another great video robbie!!
My bro, I’ve stumbled onto the right path by purchasing a little hand eye bag that only holds a max of 10 discs (more like 6-8 comfortably) because I figured there’s no way as a month-beginner that I could possibly need the smorgasbord of discs I see in other peoples bags. I figure a few putters so I can get extra practice in on the course, a couple midrange, and a couple fairway drivers. My current selection is: The Judge, Colt (from my starter set), Mako3, River, Underworld, Sidewinder, Leopard (from my starter set), Diamond, Mamba. I’ll test this loadout and remove overlap as much as possible so that I always know which disc to reach for.
Great Video! Really made me sit back and look at my bag. I am a beginner and get hung up having the "right" disc for "every" situation. I think I need to try the three disc route for awhile.
I just joined the DD squad facebook page, and a lot of members post their bags and ask "what's missing?". My answer is typically that they have too many different discs that overlap, to get rid of half of them, and REALLY learn the remainder for different shot shapes. I'm pretty new, and have learned this through great videos such as this one. BTW, I'm playing my first tournament this Saturday, and is a Trilogy Challenge.
love the video.. i agree, and i think it's because as a beginner we explore and test so many different discs that we end up with all different discs. what we should do as we get better is, like you said, stick to the same molds for consistency. the pros carry a full bag, but it's not a bag of completely different shapes and makes
Great video -- I will carry a full bag (for the extra work -- this is exercise after all) but limit myself to just few throwers several rounds a month (Pilot, Reactor, Drift, and Hades, or example)
My buddy taught me the same thing when I was struggling with consistency. Realized less is more in this case. Great video man, I'm definitely a sub now 👍
Love your hat in the intro, I recently I have followed your advice and went to a bag of 7-8 speed or less, been focusing on what your are talking about 200-Gote 250- kaxe z 300 kaxe z maybe eagle, Valkyrie, lots but there becomes the problem :) should just focus on power and control of Kaxe z
I was thinking I wouldn't be able to make my yearly trip to Bham this year...drive there from Vegas in mid Nov stay thru mid Jan..but watching your videos you've got me FEEMING to come back and play... Guess I'll have to get back on the good side of my local family there haha.....
So good. The other weekend someone brought out their rangefinder at an open shot of 160 ft, with no wind. It was like...what's the decision you're trying to make? Other than showing off you have a rangefinder....lol
I greatly appreciate the video, Robbie. I just mapped out my bag and realized a putter/approach disc out-throws one of my midrange discs :( This will also be very helpful as I got my brother and dad into disc golf and will be a great lesson for them early on to not worry about the number of discs they own.
This is so true. I switched to a smaller bag to take away extra choices. It has forced me to learn how to throw better instead of hoping a special disc would do the work for me. Can I still take some discs out of my bag? Yes. But now I have space to rotate discs in for seasoning and for specific holes when I game plan a tournament.
I recently got back into dg and am definitely falling into the “gotta try em all” disc selecting pitfall. But my main problem is throwing consistently. Idk how the disc flies if I can’t replicate my throw over and over lol
Having started this year I can say that is true. I started playing in April and using only 3 disc, I got the Innova starter set with lighter disc, and just using those 3 helped me know how consistent my throws were.
I think the best thing to do is throw a very slight hyzer at about 80% power. That's usually the most repeatable angle, so you can see how each disc flies. From there, you really only need to deviate for shot shaping.
Robbie, you are making a great point about reducing the molds. The one thought I have about the first analogy you used is that if you have a 200ft completely open shot, a golfer should be able to park that with every disc in their bag. That might mean 2 different types of shots or 10+, but that distance and condition is essentially the "easiest" of all conditions. I'm not trying to be smart here either, I legitimately like the point you are making. By the logic of confusion about having too many discs to pick for a 200ft open shot, every beginner should just play only with a putter so they don't have any choices (this might actually be a correct line of thinking, just a bit extreme). Anyways, I love the idea and the content, thanks for making this one. Could you throw in the impact that a weight of a disc has on the flight or ability for the disc golfer throwing it to get the "true" flight of the disc? I've been gravitating towards 167-170g ranges of discs recently after I realized there were too many drivers in my bag that were 175g that I couldn't really throw the way I wanted to.
I'm a beginner and I started out playing putter only with a disc you recommended for beginners. I lost it playing a wooded course and I am absolutely sure a vortex opened up and it is in an alternative universe... cuz I never found it. I replaced it with something similar and since then added a mid-range. I've played 10 rounds and can birdie with those 2 discs, which are straight flying discs. As soon as I learn how to make a driver go farther than the midrange, I'm done buying discs. 2 discs get the job done for me and I need a third that can go long. You are right, why have 5 discs that all do the same thing unless you just like collecting them.
yet again another awesome video. I am excited to have been playing disc golf at least long enough to have followed a disc through its life. I have done that with many putters, my Destroyer, an Instinct, a couple of Thunderbirds, a Valkyrie, a Buzzzz, a Rock3 and many more. I wonder if you could talk about loading your bad for a certain course?
Great video Robbie! Plastic can make a huge difference. One of the first discs I bought after my Innova starter pack was a Champion Leopard3. Oh my was that Leopard3 so much more stable than I was expecting!
I did this but on steroids. didn't go for a starter pack first either. i threw someone's beat in dx valkyrie at the course and thought "i like this and i want it to last longer" and grabbed one in champ. it is still one of the most overstable discs in my bag lol. thank god i had just enough sense at the time to know i needed something really understable too and grabbed a stingray.
It's great to get used to a disc and see what it does compared to its brothers, even if it doesn't mean immediate gratification. I have a Wraith that should be overstable, but it's so beaten up that I only use it on downhill shots or intentional turnovers. For a while, I couldn't figure out why my forehands were turning over, so I just threw flip-up shots to compensate. My two other Wraiths are stable, but with different finishes. Seeing them together is what made the difference so obvious.
I’ve been playing a few months and I’m finally getting around to building a bag after experimenting with different discs to find out which molds/plastics I like and fly well for me. I’m aiming to have 1 overstable, 1 stable, and 1 understable in each category, 1 soft plastic approach putter for when the basket is on steeper hills and such, and 1 main putting putter as well as a backup putter.
I went through the beginner stage of “buy all the discs” but it helped me realize I like the feel of Dynamic and Lat 64. But I decided I’m sticking with Dynamic right now. I dropped myself down to two mids (I have a slow arm still) a speed 7 fairway and a putter. It has really allowed me to get to know the discs I am carrying. Now as I add discs to my bag for more corner case scenarios I’ll better see how a different disc affects my decision making. Was a great move and highly recommend it.
I have six midranges. I use the heavier ones in windy conditions...and the lighter when calm. All are Innova. My go to would be the innova Mako 3....because it is straight and heavier Roc 3 is for the wind or if I need a big fade and is heavy. Stingray for flips. Shark came in starter pack. Compass for forehands...it is heavier. My overlap would be the Wombar 3.....that disc was recommended in one of Robbies videos. Not buying more midranges anytime soon. I agree somewhat..but .if you have different molds...you need to know why you have them and when to use them. For the flat 200 ft shot....the Mako 3.
Great video! Very helpful to understand overlap. Sure there are nuances between discs but nonetheless it meant too much decision making for little or no real gain.
It's so funny right before I watched this video, I've been thinking of it lately since I've been throwing innova halo lions, the domier ones are flipper than the flatter ones which I perfer, I use a c line md2 as my flippy disc, but thinking well if I'm throwing the flatter lion as my more stable disc, maybe I should swap my md2 for the domey lion.... now seeing literally few hours later your video pointing it out with different plastic and how a certain mold can change flight slightly might actually have me convinced on that.... or maybe I'll bag the domey lion and md2 knowing 1 will slightly comeback left while the other most likely won't
A video ive always wanted to make or see made is to compare discs between multiple manufacturers that use the same flight numbers in all categories and plastic options. I haven't done so because that would get expensive quickly.
I've finally started only throwing a handful of discs everytime I go to a course now, and my shots have became way more predictable and have just gotten so much better with those disc
Awesome video bro I'm not really competitive I just want to throw every disc I can get my grip on the only disc that never leaves my bag is my esp buzzz and my halo tern
I've been really happy that when I started last year i was encouraged to just stick to just a few discs for as long as possible. I tracked 30 rounds before buying my first 7 speed driver. And even with a few new discs, I'm still running under 8 discs. I'm amazed at the things I can pull off with my Tarsis, which was the first new disc I bought for myself. So yeah I definitely agree this is a pitfall to try to avoid in disc golf, also it will save you money! P.S. This is the first time seeing one of your videos. Love all the board games behind you! Thats my other favorite hobby!
@@RobbieCDiscgolf My current favorite game is Marvel Champions, followed by Terraforming Mars, Scythe, Blood Rage, Viticulture, Wingspan, and Unmatched. King of Tokyo was my first hobby game I purchased, and I constantly teach Sushi Go Party to new people. Played a ton of Dominion and Catan back in college though.
Im new to discgolf. And I am trying to build a bag but my wiev is that i want to learn 1 disc at the time before buying a new one. My current setup is. 3x saint 2 are different plastic ( 1 is a back up) 1x claymore 2x Pure also different plastic one is more of a rubber type that I use for putting or approach when its wet on the ground. 1x Diamond for my forehand Don't know what to buy next but thinking of an really understable mid like pearl and an overstable one like the Anvil
Beginner Bag Building 101: Lesson 1: you are always building/renovating your bag. Lesson 2: build from slow speed discs first. Beginners, 200ft or less, stick with speed 4 or slower. This is the aspect of the game that will save you strokes. Lesson 3: have a disc for each shot shape needed. This can be the same or different molds... you might find a disc that works in many situations...it does not matter as long as you are comfortable throwing the disc. I bag 4 throwing putters of different molds and stability, one of them will get me to the basket. Play putters only rounds often. Lesson 4: go through the same process with mids and fairway drivers. Lesson 5: only use speed 10 or higher for specific shapes and scramble shots. Move to the high speed discs when you have good angle control, especially nose angle. Lesson 6: practice and become familiar with your discs then reassess your bag. You will find you rarely need to remove the slower discs (unless they are too beat in).
Hey Robbie, Regards from Germany and First of all nice Video with easy explanation.. love it. I have a suggestion for helpfull video, because it would be nice to see a course video where you explain which disc would be best for some situations and outside conditions… always thankfull Best Frank
200ft shot wide open, Envy if there is little wind, Anvil if there is wind. 250ft Emac Truth or Tactic if it's windy. I do keep about 18discs in the bag, some don't get thrown at a particular course but they will get thrown at the various courses I play. I don't switch discs In and out depending on the course too much
I only bag like 7 molds. But 4 of them are utility discs. 3 Firebirds from very overstable to looong teebird with a nice finish. 1 Thunderbird, 1 pnf champ orc, and 1 PNF champ Leopard. My main molds are 2 Gazelles, 2 TLs, and 3 Teebirds. Plus my 3 putters of course. 1 star Proto AviarX3 for high winds drives, Star Aviar3 for low to no wind drives or upshots, and 11X KC Pro Aviar for putting only. With small hands I can't get a comfortable grip on any disc speed 11 or higher. So my highest speed disc is a orc which I only throw on tailwind holes. But 9/10 it's my teebird off the tee which I can get to about 350 but on a line. That's my only advantage on any course. I can throw ropes. But max out at around 360ish.
This advice is probably good to take in to consideration with me having 17 discs in my bag and all being different molds. But with those distances I would go 200ft: caltrop 250ft: caltrop 300ft: explorer or spark 350ft: sockibot destroyer
I’m basically brand new to disc golf. I bought 4 discs to play my first round, with experienced help. On the course I found out I had no idea what to use or when, mostly. My friend I went with would help by telling me to use Fairway, mid range, etc. and so on. The results were horrible. I never knew what a disk was going to do or how it was going to fly. I would’ve been better off just taking my putter and playing the round and focusing on throwing properly. I still had fun however, I definitely would’ve preferred to know just get one desk and grow into all your desks.
I am pretty new to the game. I got a bad start by ordering a lot of higher speed discs, not realizing that they required better form, and a faster arm. I paired my bag down to almost all 5 speeds and under, with the exception of a river and underworld, as well as a tbird and Pegasus. I only throw the tbird and pegasus when I need something to throw into the wind and need it to go far, and I only throw the river and the underworld when there is now wind and I need it to go far... but anything else I will throw a mid range. I can get 250 feet out of my wombat3, and have only been playing 3 months... I actually added distance at first by throwing slower discs, and then applied what I learned from the form corrections to the 7 speeds in my bag. I throw 8 discs most often, and bag about ten discs that have really specific shot shapes that I need occasionally. I have built my bag in a way that allows me to throw straight and flat every time, and choose the disc that will fly the line I need it to fly, instead of worrying about if I should throw hyzer or anhyzer.
So I’ve been playing disc golf now for around 3 months and I’m keeping around the 9 speed range. I throw mostly forehand. Based on what you said about plastic/mold quality. Would it be better to get a higher speed over stable disc or a lower speed at a higher grade plastic? My thoughts is with the higher speed over stable would not be as consistent as a lower speed at a higher plastic. However I am new and would love some pointers. Most my drivers are under stable and need a overstable disc to fill that need in my bag. Thanks
Robbie C....I've developed an interest in DG lately. I haven't been on a course yet and I don't have any discs at this time....if you want to be my caddie today, tell me what starter kit you would recommend for me. Bear in mind I may not "take" to the sport once I try it, so what would you put in my bag for this 65 yr old beginner. Thanks and God Bless
If I could recommend any pure starter set, it would be the Innova Starter set. It's the gold standard of starter sets, and as most people have used that exact set others would also be more likely to help you branch out beyond it. With that said, I think that the best made starter set comes from Latitude 64 using their easy to use line. (Ruby, Pearl, Diamond, Jade, and Sapphire) With those discs I believe you'd not only be setup as a newer player, but able to start progressing and learning with those discs for longer t han the innova starter set may last. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions on that!
I’ve purchased a few putter molds in different plastics to find “the one.” Which ended up being Innova’s Whale. I now have 5 Whales… Other than that, I bag 4 star Destroyers in different weights for different levels of wind, two mids (a max weight champion Mako3 and a max weight champion Lion) which are also for different reasons, and absolutely no fairway drivers. And then there’s the black sheep of my discs, or rather, an albino dinosaur, my max big z Raptor which I exclusively use for hyzer spikes and literally nothing else. I perform way better now than when I had 10 different molds in my bag. The best advice I’ve found is exactly what you said. If you find a mold you love, try it in different weights and/or plastics.
My bag consists of: Roach 1 Devil Hawk - 2 (approach discs, FH mostly) Marshal - controlled turn up to 300 ft Sensei - controlled straight drive up to 300 ft. Ghost - 1 understable mid Method - OS mid Leopard 3, Teebird, 2 firebird, 2 thunderbird, Rival, Roadrunner (roller disc up to 500 ft for low cielings) - all my fairway drivers for 280 to 330 ft controlled drives. OS outlaw, Force - 350 to 380 hard left and spike hyzers 2 Destroyers, Ballista pro, Enigma - 400 to 450 ft drives (Flex lines in open field)
Yep so I’ve been playing for 3-4 months now and carry 26 discs of which 25 are unique molds (I carry 2 of the same putters). Time to get this bag in an overhaul
Wow this video was not what I expected. I thought he was going to talk about everyone getting Corvettes and Destroyers when they should be throwing putters and mids. I like the same-mold-different-wear idea, but as beginners it's hard to figure out which mold feels comfortable in your hand and you can produce good results from it. Like, I mainly throw putters, mids, and fairways and wide rimmed DDs don't feel so natural in my hands anymore. So while I have a stack of Zeuses and Destroyers meant to replace each other if I lose them in water, they don't feel so good in my hands. But I had to get the Zeus, Destroyer, and DD3s to find out which works better for me. That's $$$.
I carry 26 discs at all time, but like tonight, I only used 9 of them to play a round with my club. 3 of them I only used once. 6 discs carried me to second place, because I was comfortable with those 6 discs and made good shots with them. A putter, 3 mids, a fairway, and a driver.
This is so true!! I took only 6 discs to the course last weekend. Mostly putters and some mids. The mental clarity of not having choice overload was so refreshing. I spent more time enjoying the outdoors and the sun rather than carrying a load of discs to think about.
Yeah, my local course is short and super technical. Recently went out and did a putters only round. It changed my approach to a bunch of holes and I didn't feel all the pressure I usually put on myself.
I finally built a bag this year. For me personally, I tried to simplify it like this: one understable, one stable, and one overstable disc in each category from putter to driver. Ended up at about 16 discs plus my putting putters. Honestly I really only use 5 or 6 discs religiously. It is super nice having those extra discs to match the right shot selection at times though for sure
That’s about what I did, ended up with this:
Distance Drivers: Raider, Enigma, Surge SS
Fairway Drivers: Raptor, Escape, Assassin, F2, Stalker, Relay
Midranges: Justice, Compass, Meteor
Putters: Tactic, Atom, Magic, Judge, Berg
I putt with the atoms
@@PoorGamer13 Nice!
I ended with:
Distance drivers: TD, CD3, PD, DD3, and a destroyer
Fairways: Sidewinder, FD, FD2, Eagle X, and a firebird
Mids: MD3, buzzz, and RocX3
Putters: star aviar, jk pro aviar, and P3X
I put with hard exo links
Some tips for a beginner that wants to add three discs to beginner set? Started with Discmania Evolution. What would ad new options to try and would be throw techniques to these added disks?
Or what would be 6 beginner discs to start over? Course I play has average length of 200 feet each. Lot of trees requiring curves left or right not so many straight corridors luckily.
@@JayDeeTee They have a great beginner set! If I started out all over again, I'd wish I had started with a discmania exo link for putting (thin profile compared to an aviar, feels better in the hand to me 🤷♂️), star aviar for a throwing putter, innova rocx3 or pig for overstable mid, discraft buzzz in esp or z plastic (I bag 3 now in different plastic and stability based on how they beat in, my go to for the majority of holes I play), discmania c-line FD or innova eagle for straight-overstsble driver, and a star innova sidewinder.
I love playing rounds with my simplified bag! Judge, Buzzz, Leopard, Teebird3 💝 Great vid Robbie!
Yup. I like playing what I call "Starter Pack" rounds. I still have an Aviar, Shark, and Leopard DX set, and I have great rounds just throwing those 3 discs.
Dude, gotta say, really love your chanel. You encompass all the excellent parts of the disc golf community. Thanks, Robbie!
I recently did the same about a year ago. For backhands: 3 different molds of beasts, 2 leopard3s, 2 MDs, 3 avairs, for sidearms: 3 different levels of beat in destroyers, and 2 zones for forehand up shots. Made a big difference in confidence with grip and that sort of thing. Great video.
Man iv been playing about 8 months and figured out so much from youtube over my 8 months of playing and research. This video right here is probably the most informative disc golf video iv ever seen. So much information packed in a short video! I knew I had too many choices when I would go out on the course and just recently I was forced to rebuild my bag after it was stolen a few weeks ago when my truck was broken into. Now that iv started rebuilding my bag this video is going to help me so much starting out again with all fresh discs! You sir are a saint,I bid thee good fortune! May your discs never find an OB lay or a single tree(out of your favor,cause we all know sometimes a tree can save your ass) Good day sir!
Speaks the truth, started out with many discs finding my way, now I bag a few singles for situations but many 4x-2x same discs in different plastics, game elevated so much and continues too.
Don't forget "Disc Golf Tree Repellent" from Martins Gift Shop. It should be in every beginners bag.
Just want to say thank you for breaking things down to be a smooth transition. Your videos have helped not only myself but my Fam. on the course! Holler if ya come to Indiana! BANG THEM CHAINS!!!
I started to understand this concept when I matched my PR on our local course during a 1 disc only round.
What was your disc of choice for that round?
Z-line Sol. Great disc for those rounds.
I shot an even round at my local course with just a Pig. My overall best there (with all discs) is -1. hehe
You’re preaching to the choir Robbie! After a solid 6 months in to disc golf (and totally obsessed), I started carrying 5-6 discs in my bag, and the freedom and confidence it’s given me is so empowering and I am less frustrated and confused. Not to mention I am scoring better 😊. Trusting your discs and knowing how they fly is so much more fun and builds confidence. My bag now consists of a Diamond, leopard (beat in), leopard3, Shark (beat in), Pearl, soft banger GT. These are all the discs I started with 6 months ago except the leopard3 and Pearl. LOVE my new Pearl ❤️❤️❤️
Best hypothesis ever for disc golf. " The less choices to make, the easier to make a more comfortable decision.." (Paraphrasing)
Took this advice and simplified my bag. Haven’t felt this great about it in a while: Wraith, Felon, Sidewinder, Teebirds, Leopard3s, Caiman, Emac Truths, Pig, Emac Judges. Feeling so much mental clarity and confidence. Thanks Robbie!
I’m so thankful for your videos. I’m new to DG and your guidance has been so helpful. Keep up the great work!
The rinnegan stamp on that purple disc is so sick!
We call this the “Paradox of Choice” in the training and development world.
I do this with my Maidens and Mavericks. Pretty much 90% of my throws these days.
That is how I am using Sharks, Shark 3 (have backups) and Impact (have backups). These are 90% of the shots at or under 200 feet. At 210 feet or further then I use others like my Stalker or my Valkyrie's/Dragon moving only to the Archon for controlled distance stuff and using the Dragon for the open shots in calm or tailwind.
Hey! Not sure if you will see this but I have an issue I keep running into. I can throw a vertex with a speed of 4 almost as far as I can throw a Archon with a speed of 11. I’m doing about 260ft to 290ft. The archon isn’t crashing left fast and has a good straight flight for most of its air time, but just doesn’t get that much further than I’d expect.
Side note, I found your videos about 5 days ago and it’s already help me add consistency and a bit more distance to my throws! Keep up the good work.
Awesome video Robbie. Thanks for your wisdom. Lots to learn from your channel. 😀
This is very true! I carry a very simple bag (in my eyes at least). I carry one mold as my driver: Lat64 Diamond but I have 5 of them and all fly different for me. I have two molds for mids: Lat64 Fuse (3) and Lat64 Claymore (2). I then have two molds for putters: Lat64 Spike (2) for throwing and I putt with Lat64 Rubies.
This is probably the most useful topic in the sport. I did this years ago on my own and this alone made me much better at the game overall. Probably more important than my evolving form as i learned how to use my disc selection very well.
I found a disk selection trick that works for me...
I have a cheap bag (A 90's $10 Coke promo soft thing)... andI have 14 disks and basically play 1 course (Island Bay Golf Course Wellington NZ... It's the side of a hill).
What I found was if I use a disk, then place it at the back of the bag, Top side out, no that it matters... I would end up with 3-4 disks at the front of the bag that never moved.... They now sit on a shelf and I have 10 that all get used at least once on the course (Including an RPM so over stable I can throw it near Anhizer vertical before it stays anhyzer instead of flat of a hard fade... great for a forest section that is more tree than gap).
I feel bad that my Jade is sitting at home... For me, Jades are a disk that just fly in a nice S and land just left of aim... every time... and seem to auto correct for my mistakes, not going too far astray unless I release in the wrong direction but There's no need for that on this course... there's no straight clear flat basket.
I've now managed my 1st hole in one, which was on possibly my 1st 1 under par... and I have birdied the whole (only 10) course... If only I can do that on one round I'll be set !.
Another interesting thing I have found.... Try wrong disks on tricky holes...
I challenged my friend to a putter round... on a cross valley shot (hole 1) onto a 20 deg left hand down, trees on the right, ridge - he was using mids...
With the putter he got his 2nd hole in one and has been so consistent with the putter (a disk he would have never used from tee on that 250ft, slightly down hill, very windy shot) that it's now his go-to disk for hole 1.
And if it isn't a hole in one... its a grippy 'near rubber' putter. It stops quick rather than floating down the slope.
Great video! I was, and I mean WAS an avid fisherman who hoard all the best lures, fishing rods/line and reels on the market. I have over 30k worth of fishing gears! Anyways, for the past year, I have been disc golfing like a mad man. I own over 130 disc and since my game has elevated so much due to fieldwork and your videos, I have a very balance bag now. It consist of a handful of drivers, 4 fairways, 4 mids and 5 putters. I remember when I first started out, I had 10 drivers, 1 fairways, 1 mid and 2 putters (big skip game) 😂 I have come a long way. Currently, I can throw 400+ ft forearm and 380+ ft backhand
discgolf community is the best community
Robbie, as usual, very helpful & insightful info. Thnx for what you do, my friend! Let's go!!!
I needed this talk! Thanks! Total newb here and def making this mistake. Going to be paying a lot more attention to how my discs fly so I can narrow down what can stay in the bag and what needs to sit on the bench. Great vid!
Robbie, thanks for sharing my disc bag! As a new player that's huge!
Dude, I had no idea you played! It’s colby bro, hit me up sometime we’ll play I just started like a year ago.
OK first of all... Love My Bag and the flight view really helped. I only have 2 overlaps and will post them on Ebay. great tip, THANKS
Sweet board game collection bruh. I too am a man of culture that loves disc golf and board games.
Love the board games in the back round.
Came to comment the same thing.
lol came to comments to say the same thing. Occurred to me that much said here applies to board game design too - having a maximum of two or three good choices in any given situation makes for a faster, more comprehensible game than being overwhelmed with many unclear options.
The #DGMediaCrewTravelingDisc just made an appearance at 6:06! So pumped! Will you be doing a video with it?
I love your approach to teaching others man. You always have great insight.
300ft Im throwing a Gold line Compass
350ft Opto line Gladiator
Great video. Ten years after starting and while I do Cary 20 discs. Most are different wears, and plastics. Can agree with this 100%
I love my pigs..my " child " is a pink pig with a flat top..thing is a pin seeker..forehand touch ups..all day! Don't even hardly throw mids anymore..another great video robbie!!
My bro, I’ve stumbled onto the right path by purchasing a little hand eye bag that only holds a max of 10 discs (more like 6-8 comfortably) because I figured there’s no way as a month-beginner that I could possibly need the smorgasbord of discs I see in other peoples bags. I figure a few putters so I can get extra practice in on the course, a couple midrange, and a couple fairway drivers. My current selection is:
The Judge,
Colt (from my starter set),
Mako3,
River,
Underworld,
Sidewinder,
Leopard (from my starter set),
Diamond,
Mamba.
I’ll test this loadout and remove overlap as much as possible so that I always know which disc to reach for.
Great Video! Really made me sit back and look at my bag. I am a beginner and get hung up having the "right" disc for "every" situation. I think I need to try the three disc route for awhile.
I just joined the DD squad facebook page, and a lot of members post their bags and ask "what's missing?". My answer is typically that they have too many different discs that overlap, to get rid of half of them, and REALLY learn the remainder for different shot shapes. I'm pretty new, and have learned this through great videos such as this one. BTW, I'm playing my first tournament this Saturday, and is a Trilogy Challenge.
love the video.. i agree, and i think it's because as a beginner we explore and test so many different discs that we end up with all different discs. what we should do as we get better is, like you said, stick to the same molds for consistency. the pros carry a full bag, but it's not a bag of completely different shapes and makes
Great video -- I will carry a full bag (for the extra work -- this is exercise after all) but limit myself to just few throwers several rounds a month (Pilot, Reactor, Drift, and Hades, or example)
My buddy taught me the same thing when I was struggling with consistency. Realized less is more in this case. Great video man, I'm definitely a sub now 👍
Love your hat in the intro, I recently I have followed your advice and went to a bag of 7-8 speed or less, been focusing on what your are talking about
200-Gote
250- kaxe z
300 kaxe z maybe eagle, Valkyrie, lots but there becomes the problem :) should just focus on power and control of Kaxe z
I was thinking I wouldn't be able to make my yearly trip to Bham this year...drive there from Vegas in mid Nov stay thru mid Jan..but watching your videos you've got me FEEMING to come back and play...
Guess I'll have to get back on the good side of my local family there haha.....
Great video. I mainly use 3 disc. Putter, under stable fairway driver, and over stable driver. If conditions were perfect I'd be happy with 2 disc.
Love the my disc bag app! Very helpful
So good. The other weekend someone brought out their rangefinder at an open shot of 160 ft, with no wind. It was like...what's the decision you're trying to make? Other than showing off you have a rangefinder....lol
I greatly appreciate the video, Robbie. I just mapped out my bag and realized a putter/approach disc out-throws one of my midrange discs :( This will also be very helpful as I got my brother and dad into disc golf and will be a great lesson for them early on to not worry about the number of discs they own.
This is so true. I switched to a smaller bag to take away extra choices. It has forced me to learn how to throw better instead of hoping a special disc would do the work for me.
Can I still take some discs out of my bag? Yes. But now I have space to rotate discs in for seasoning and for specific holes when I game plan a tournament.
I simplified 6 mos ago, greatly helped! Love the content keep it up sir!
I recently got back into dg and am definitely falling into the “gotta try em all” disc selecting pitfall.
But my main problem is throwing consistently. Idk how the disc flies if I can’t replicate my throw over and over lol
Having started this year I can say that is true. I started playing in April and using only 3 disc, I got the Innova starter set with lighter disc, and just using those 3 helped me know how consistent my throws were.
I think the best thing to do is throw a very slight hyzer at about 80% power. That's usually the most repeatable angle, so you can see how each disc flies. From there, you really only need to deviate for shot shaping.
I have an old Jaguar that was gifted to me that I have for rollers and mid drives with wind, and I LOVE IT.
Robbie, you are making a great point about reducing the molds. The one thought I have about the first analogy you used is that if you have a 200ft completely open shot, a golfer should be able to park that with every disc in their bag. That might mean 2 different types of shots or 10+, but that distance and condition is essentially the "easiest" of all conditions. I'm not trying to be smart here either, I legitimately like the point you are making. By the logic of confusion about having too many discs to pick for a 200ft open shot, every beginner should just play only with a putter so they don't have any choices (this might actually be a correct line of thinking, just a bit extreme). Anyways, I love the idea and the content, thanks for making this one.
Could you throw in the impact that a weight of a disc has on the flight or ability for the disc golfer throwing it to get the "true" flight of the disc? I've been gravitating towards 167-170g ranges of discs recently after I realized there were too many drivers in my bag that were 175g that I couldn't really throw the way I wanted to.
I'm a beginner and I started out playing putter only with a disc you recommended for beginners. I lost it playing a wooded course and I am absolutely sure a vortex opened up and it is in an alternative universe... cuz I never found it. I replaced it with something similar and since then added a mid-range. I've played 10 rounds and can birdie with those 2 discs, which are straight flying discs. As soon as I learn how to make a driver go farther than the midrange, I'm done buying discs. 2 discs get the job done for me and I need a third that can go long. You are right, why have 5 discs that all do the same thing unless you just like collecting them.
yet again another awesome video. I am excited to have been playing disc golf at least long enough to have followed a disc through its life. I have done that with many putters, my Destroyer, an Instinct, a couple of Thunderbirds, a Valkyrie, a Buzzzz, a Rock3 and many more. I wonder if you could talk about loading your bad for a certain course?
This video is gold
Great vid Robbie!
Great video Robbie! Plastic can make a huge difference. One of the first discs I bought after my Innova starter pack was a Champion Leopard3. Oh my was that Leopard3 so much more stable than I was expecting!
I did this but on steroids. didn't go for a starter pack first either. i threw someone's beat in dx valkyrie at the course and thought "i like this and i want it to last longer" and grabbed one in champ. it is still one of the most overstable discs in my bag lol. thank god i had just enough sense at the time to know i needed something really understable too and grabbed a stingray.
It's great to get used to a disc and see what it does compared to its brothers, even if it doesn't mean immediate gratification.
I have a Wraith that should be overstable, but it's so beaten up that I only use it on downhill shots or intentional turnovers. For a while, I couldn't figure out why my forehands were turning over, so I just threw flip-up shots to compensate. My two other Wraiths are stable, but with different finishes. Seeing them together is what made the difference so obvious.
I’ve been playing a few months and I’m finally getting around to building a bag after experimenting with different discs to find out which molds/plastics I like and fly well for me. I’m aiming to have 1 overstable, 1 stable, and 1 understable in each category, 1 soft plastic approach putter for when the basket is on steeper hills and such, and 1 main putting putter as well as a backup putter.
Dude, nice board game collection!
Great point about the plastic
Super great Vid! I created a mydiscbag and have some overlap. Time to thin the heard.Thanks
This is what I found to work aswell. I play with 4 molds now and my scores are way better then before :)
I went through the beginner stage of “buy all the discs” but it helped me realize I like the feel of Dynamic and Lat 64. But I decided I’m sticking with Dynamic right now. I dropped myself down to two mids (I have a slow arm still) a speed 7 fairway and a putter. It has really allowed me to get to know the discs I am carrying. Now as I add discs to my bag for more corner case scenarios I’ll better see how a different disc affects my decision making. Was a great move and highly recommend it.
Same thing happened with me once I threw an mvp/axiom I fell in love. Those discs fly better for me than any other brand I have ever thrown.
Love your videos! Subscribed cause you also are into Board games
I have six midranges. I use the heavier ones in windy conditions...and the lighter when calm. All are Innova. My go to would be the innova Mako 3....because it is straight and heavier Roc 3 is for the wind or if I need a big fade and is heavy. Stingray for flips. Shark came in starter pack. Compass for forehands...it is heavier. My overlap would be the Wombar 3.....that disc was recommended in one of Robbies videos. Not buying more midranges anytime soon. I agree somewhat..but .if you have different molds...you need to know why you have them and when to use them. For the flat 200 ft shot....the Mako 3.
Great video! Very helpful to understand overlap. Sure there are nuances between discs but nonetheless it meant too much decision making for little or no real gain.
I have several discs in my bag I only use for specific situations. But I have a primary driver, 2 fav mids and a few fav putters.
It's so funny right before I watched this video, I've been thinking of it lately since I've been throwing innova halo lions, the domier ones are flipper than the flatter ones which I perfer, I use a c line md2 as my flippy disc, but thinking well if I'm throwing the flatter lion as my more stable disc, maybe I should swap my md2 for the domey lion.... now seeing literally few hours later your video pointing it out with different plastic and how a certain mold can change flight slightly might actually have me convinced on that.... or maybe I'll bag the domey lion and md2 knowing 1 will slightly comeback left while the other most likely won't
A video ive always wanted to make or see made is to compare discs between multiple manufacturers that use the same flight numbers in all categories and plastic options. I haven't done so because that would get expensive quickly.
Thanks Robbie. I have 36 discs and I found out some are the same flight patterns but under different names. Newbie mistake 😕
For what it's worth, my bag looks like this: Hyzer flip / turnover driver, Hyzer / flex driver, Hyzer flip / turnover mid, Hyzer / flex mid, "brick", "lid", throwing putter, and chain banger.
No habla..
Fantastic video.
I've finally started only throwing a handful of discs everytime I go to a course now, and my shots have became way more predictable and have just gotten so much better with those disc
Awesome video bro I'm not really competitive I just want to throw every disc I can get my grip on the only disc that never leaves my bag is my esp buzzz and my halo tern
I've been really happy that when I started last year i was encouraged to just stick to just a few discs for as long as possible. I tracked 30 rounds before buying my first 7 speed driver. And even with a few new discs, I'm still running under 8 discs. I'm amazed at the things I can pull off with my Tarsis, which was the first new disc I bought for myself. So yeah I definitely agree this is a pitfall to try to avoid in disc golf, also it will save you money!
P.S. This is the first time seeing one of your videos. Love all the board games behind you! Thats my other favorite hobby!
What are some go to’s for you board game wise?
@@RobbieCDiscgolf My current favorite game is Marvel Champions, followed by Terraforming Mars, Scythe, Blood Rage, Viticulture, Wingspan, and Unmatched. King of Tokyo was my first hobby game I purchased, and I constantly teach Sushi Go Party to new people. Played a ton of Dominion and Catan back in college though.
Im new to discgolf.
And I am trying to build a bag but my wiev is that i want to learn 1 disc at the time before buying a new one. My current setup is.
3x saint 2 are different plastic ( 1 is a back up)
1x claymore
2x Pure also different plastic one is more of a rubber type that I use for putting or approach when its wet on the ground.
1x Diamond for my forehand
Don't know what to buy next but thinking of an really understable mid like pearl and an overstable one like the Anvil
Can confirm. Did a trilogy challenge in June and shot 3 strokes better during the 3 disc round than when I had my whole bag the day before.
Love the hypothesis. Accoms Razor theory put towards disc golf.
Occam’s Razor.
Beginner Bag Building 101:
Lesson 1: you are always building/renovating your bag.
Lesson 2: build from slow speed discs first. Beginners, 200ft or less, stick with speed 4 or slower. This is the aspect of the game that will save you strokes.
Lesson 3: have a disc for each shot shape needed. This can be the same or different molds... you might find a disc that works in many situations...it does not matter as long as you are comfortable throwing the disc. I bag 4 throwing putters of different molds and stability, one of them will get me to the basket. Play putters only rounds often.
Lesson 4: go through the same process with mids and fairway drivers.
Lesson 5: only use speed 10 or higher for specific shapes and scramble shots. Move to the high speed discs when you have good angle control, especially nose angle.
Lesson 6: practice and become familiar with your discs then reassess your bag. You will find you rarely need to remove the slower discs (unless they are too beat in).
Hey Robbie,
Regards from Germany and First of all nice Video with easy explanation.. love it. I have a suggestion for helpfull video, because it would be nice to see a course video where you explain which disc would be best for some situations and outside conditions… always thankfull
Best Frank
I think you're in luck! He actually released a video just like that a few months ago. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/1S3fLCbUBOo/видео.html
@@drjakelly thx for this video suggestion, I know this one and I know it.. it is kind of what I‘m looking for, but not 100%..anyway thx so much 🙏
200ft shot wide open, Envy if there is little wind, Anvil if there is wind. 250ft Emac Truth or Tactic if it's windy. I do keep about 18discs in the bag, some don't get thrown at a particular course but they will get thrown at the various courses I play. I don't switch discs In and out depending on the course too much
I only bag like 7 molds. But 4 of them are utility discs. 3 Firebirds from very overstable to looong teebird with a nice finish. 1 Thunderbird, 1 pnf champ orc, and 1 PNF champ Leopard. My main molds are 2 Gazelles, 2 TLs, and 3 Teebirds. Plus my 3 putters of course. 1 star Proto AviarX3 for high winds drives, Star Aviar3 for low to no wind drives or upshots, and 11X KC Pro Aviar for putting only. With small hands I can't get a comfortable grip on any disc speed 11 or higher. So my highest speed disc is a orc which I only throw on tailwind holes. But 9/10 it's my teebird off the tee which I can get to about 350 but on a line. That's my only advantage on any course. I can throw ropes. But max out at around 360ish.
This advice is probably good to take in to consideration with me having 17 discs in my bag and all being different molds. But with those distances I would go
200ft: caltrop
250ft: caltrop
300ft: explorer or spark
350ft: sockibot destroyer
Goddammit Robbie your intro almost made me snort DR Pepper through my nose! That shit was hilarious!!!!
I’m basically brand new to disc golf. I bought 4 discs to play my first round, with experienced help. On the course I found out I had no idea what to use or when, mostly. My friend I went with would help by telling me to use Fairway, mid range, etc. and so on. The results were horrible. I never knew what a disk was going to do or how it was going to fly. I would’ve been better off just taking my putter and playing the round and focusing on throwing properly. I still had fun however, I definitely would’ve preferred to know just get one desk and grow into all your desks.
I am pretty new to the game. I got a bad start by ordering a lot of higher speed discs, not realizing that they required better form, and a faster arm. I paired my bag down to almost all 5 speeds and under, with the exception of a river and underworld, as well as a tbird and Pegasus. I only throw the tbird and pegasus when I need something to throw into the wind and need it to go far, and I only throw the river and the underworld when there is now wind and I need it to go far... but anything else I will throw a mid range. I can get 250 feet out of my wombat3, and have only been playing 3 months... I actually added distance at first by throwing slower discs, and then applied what I learned from the form corrections to the 7 speeds in my bag. I throw 8 discs most often, and bag about ten discs that have really specific shot shapes that I need occasionally. I have built my bag in a way that allows me to throw straight and flat every time, and choose the disc that will fly the line I need it to fly, instead of worrying about if I should throw hyzer or anhyzer.
Good advise but pray long trusted bag slot does not become obsolete...... Gremlin. My backup stash is dangerous low.
Love you content!
So I’ve been playing disc golf now for around 3 months and I’m keeping around the 9 speed range. I throw mostly forehand. Based on what you said about plastic/mold quality. Would it be better to get a higher speed over stable disc or a lower speed at a higher grade plastic?
My thoughts is with the higher speed over stable would not be as consistent as a lower speed at a higher plastic. However I am new and would love some pointers. Most my drivers are under stable and need a overstable disc to fill that need in my bag. Thanks
4:23 that rinnegan disc looks awsome
Sasukes rinnegan, no less!!
It’s hard to see it, but we’ve got Rinnegan, Sharingan, and the Uchiha clan symbol. Love me some Sasuke!!
Robbie C....I've developed an interest in DG lately. I haven't been on a course yet and I don't have any discs at this time....if you want to be my caddie today, tell me what starter kit you would recommend for me. Bear in mind I may not "take" to the sport once I try it, so what would you put in my bag for this 65 yr old beginner. Thanks and God Bless
If I could recommend any pure starter set, it would be the Innova Starter set. It's the gold standard of starter sets, and as most people have used that exact set others would also be more likely to help you branch out beyond it. With that said, I think that the best made starter set comes from Latitude 64 using their easy to use line. (Ruby, Pearl, Diamond, Jade, and Sapphire) With those discs I believe you'd not only be setup as a newer player, but able to start progressing and learning with those discs for longer t han the innova starter set may last.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions on that!
I’ve purchased a few putter molds in different plastics to find “the one.” Which ended up being Innova’s Whale. I now have 5 Whales…
Other than that, I bag 4 star Destroyers in different weights for different levels of wind, two mids (a max weight champion Mako3 and a max weight champion Lion) which are also for different reasons, and absolutely no fairway drivers. And then there’s the black sheep of my discs, or rather, an albino dinosaur, my max big z Raptor which I exclusively use for hyzer spikes and literally nothing else. I perform way better now than when I had 10 different molds in my bag.
The best advice I’ve found is exactly what you said. If you find a mold you love, try it in different weights and/or plastics.
Hey do u have a review on your purple latitude swift bag? If not can you please make one🙏🏽
Hey Man !! Love the Shirt !!!
My bag consists of:
Roach 1
Devil Hawk - 2 (approach discs, FH mostly)
Marshal - controlled turn up to 300 ft
Sensei - controlled straight drive up to 300 ft.
Ghost - 1 understable mid
Method - OS mid
Leopard 3, Teebird, 2 firebird, 2 thunderbird, Rival, Roadrunner (roller disc up to 500 ft for low cielings) - all my fairway drivers for 280 to 330 ft controlled drives.
OS outlaw, Force - 350 to 380 hard left and spike hyzers
2 Destroyers, Ballista pro, Enigma - 400 to 450 ft drives (Flex lines in open field)
Yep so I’ve been playing for 3-4 months now and carry 26 discs of which 25 are unique molds (I carry 2 of the same putters). Time to get this bag in an overhaul
Wow this video was not what I expected. I thought he was going to talk about everyone getting Corvettes and Destroyers when they should be throwing putters and mids. I like the same-mold-different-wear idea, but as beginners it's hard to figure out which mold feels comfortable in your hand and you can produce good results from it. Like, I mainly throw putters, mids, and fairways and wide rimmed DDs don't feel so natural in my hands anymore. So while I have a stack of Zeuses and Destroyers meant to replace each other if I lose them in water, they don't feel so good in my hands. But I had to get the Zeus, Destroyer, and DD3s to find out which works better for me. That's $$$.
I carry 26 discs at all time, but like tonight, I only used 9 of them to play a round with my club. 3 of them I only used once. 6 discs carried me to second place, because I was comfortable with those 6 discs and made good shots with them. A putter, 3 mids, a fairway, and a driver.
So I guess I can keep the 7 destroyers if they are different stabilities then?
🤣🤣🤣you do you boss!!
Great content
Does that site account for more overstable platics like moonshine or lucid?
It does not. You have to manually adjust the flight numbers. The stiffer plastic, take 1 away from glide and add 1 in fade.
Example 1: Mako
Ex. 2: RocX3
Ex. 3: Valkyrie
Ex. 4 Corvette.
My trinity set is Aviar, Mako, Thunderbird or Valkyrie.
