Recently, I've found that it is valuable to organize my bag from understable to overstable, from right to left.

Set up

Basically, I go out to a field, and throw all the discs I practice with with the same flat throw at a target (goal post). The disc end up in a spread from right to left. Then pick up the discs going from right to left and put them in your bag.

Advantages

1. When you come to a shot, you figure what kind of a shot you need (how overstable or understable), then look in your bag in the appropriate area for the disc to use.

2. If you bash a disc in the middle of a round into a tree, you might consider moving it two or three discs to the understable side.

Always, Fred C

I think the idea of organizing your bag is good, except for throwing them out into a field. That's a bad idea, I think, because if you have a bad throw, ie. you acidentally throw an anhyzer shot or mess up a throw, you misplace a disc. I would do the same idea, and shoot all your discs on the same shot, but when you have a bad throw, skip that one, and put it where you think it should go in your bag.

Sean,

I have found the hard way that I need to be organized in almost everything I do. It may sound stupid, but I do it:

1) If you are throwing a lot of discs, write down the number of discs you are throwing.

2) If you have a bad throw, write down where you think the disc went, behind the big tree about 350ft away at 2 0'clock, e.g.

Throwing in a field and varying your direction with respect to the wind is key to finding out what a new disc does, as well as giving you excellent driving practice. I know it's boring, and I don't want to sound condescending, but if you are in 7th grade as another post indicated, I have been doing that for longer than you been alive, and have achieved a modicum of success with it.

Good luck and stick with it. It will reward your game. That and putting...

Bill

I've been finding the most succes by sticking to about six similar discs per "round". It ends up being a lot of walking back and forth, but there is less "hunting and gathering" too. Plus it's easier to remember how many to look for!

Bill,
I too like to be organized, but I'm too lazy to do it. Although I today organized my bag from Most Overstable Drivers to Most Understable Drivers, and same with my mid-range discs and putt/approach. I love driving! It never gets boring for me. That and putting. I hate approach shots, I always undershoot or overshoot.
I found a disc yesterday, a white Stratus, and got a Panther from a fellow schoolmate today. When I played my game today, I used ONLY my Cheetah, Panther, and Soft Rhyno. The Soft Rhyno and Cheetah my friend gave me for my Polaris LS. My Panther has to be the most understable disc I have, that and my Cheetah. I really like my Soft Rhyno. It sticks to the chains really well, and fits my putting style. Whenever I get new discs, I use mainly use just them so I can get used to them.
If anyone has any suggestions on what discs to buy, I have a Cyclone, X2, Gazelle, Cheetah, Eagle, Stratus, Puma, Hammer, Panther, XD, Classic Roc, Birdie, and Soft Rhyno, and I'm buying an XL and SE Leopard; please let me know. I'm an intermediate level player, 3-5 for 9 holes, so please let me know what might be good for me. I think input from other players will help me know what each disc does better than I do now just by reading catalogs.

Fellows,
I don't mean to be rude, but does it really matter where your discs are in your bag??? If you can't just look down and visually determine what each disn does in a nanosecond, then you do not know your plastic well enough. When I see a hole, I have to htink about the possibilities. It may be a turnover, but it may be a huge turnover where I need something to plane out, so I don't instantly go for my understable disc anyway. The only theing I keep separate in my bag are my putters, and that is only because I use them the most often.

The only thing I keep separate in my bag are my putters, and that is only because I use them the most often.

I'm not sure that the "Cadillac Bag" is even being sold anymore, but I've found that it is the single best tool to avoid losing discs. The bag holds 15 discs, each of which seperated by a cardboard divider, so if you throw several shots and don't retrieve them all you will know instantly because you will have empty slots in your bag.

The Large Lightning Bag is that way too, but bigger. It holds 20-25 in single dividers, so you will also know instantly if any are gone.

I have a technique that might work for the lazy (me being one of them).

I keep only multiples of 3 in my bag. In other words, only carry 6 or 9 or 12 or 15 discs. At the beginning of a hole (or end, or whatever) you count your messy stack of discs. If you only have 8 or 11, you better go find your disc. Sure beats running back 8 holes to find your disc. It also solves the question "how many discs did I put in my bag, anyway?"

I have yet to space out on a disc since using this strategy, and I am a total space cadet. -- kurt from seattle.

I learned a few thing from Ron Russell in the many casual rounds at Riverbends Park, and other places.
I noticed that Ron only uses a select number of discs. This is done to keep the disc or rather the shot selection to a minimum. You do not want to be faced with the question which disc do I throw? The broken in banshee? or the slightly used kc eagle? In all reality these two discs will do exactly the same thing. When I step behind my marker I already know which disc I'm going to be throwing.
Ron uses three cyclones, two comets, two broken in hard magnets, and a recent addition, an extreme. I myself throw three kc eagles, two rocs, and two broken in hard magnets. I also use a banshee and a six year old stingray for trick shots. These two stay in the car unless I need them for a specific hole. The three eagles i throw are in various stages of use. I rotate them in and out of my bag accordingly.
I hope that what I'm rambling on about makes sense to some of you. I know it has improved my game and I'm sure if you take my advice it will also improve yours. Thanks for your time.

This is for Sean-

I have to agree with sudo, a limited number of types of discs is best. You obviously have to have both ends of the spectrum represented (i.e., beat up roller to brand new overstable) but it is always best to limit the variation. You wrote-

"Cyclone, X2, Gazelle, Cheetah, Eagle, Stratus, Puma, Hammer, Panther, XD, Classic Roc, Birdie, and Soft Rhyno, and I'm buying an XL and SE Leopard."

I have been playing in PDGA tournaments for 20 years (1980 NAS was my first) and I wouldn't know what to do with all those discs in my bag!! Keep it simple. Know your discs. My buddy Phil Arthur (who I think is one of the smoothest golfers I know) carries 3 Rocs, 3 Banshees, and 3 Aviars. That is a little too simple for me but hey, it works for him. I carry 3 Aviars, 4 Rocs, 4 drivers (X2s and SE Tbirds) and 2 Stingrays for rollers. It makes disc selection soo easy- once you have decided on the shot (which is not always as easy) you already know which disc to use.

And about the upshots- this is often where good rounds are made or broken. Good luck!

Respectfully,

Daniel Marcus

sudo,

You have learned a valuable lesson from Ron, Keep it simple and minimize mistakes.

I carry 2 aviars, 3 rocs, 3 eagles and 1 polaris LS. Since I rarely play tournament golf these days I find it easier to repeat throws by limiting different plastic. And during tournament play my light bag sure is easy to carry around.

I hope amaters realize you don't have to carry 15-20 discs to improve your game. The old adage to master one disc at a time is the best way to improve one's game.

Daniel,

Which NAS tournament in 1980 was it? Philly? Huntsville? Athens (was that in 80?)

Bill

Bill,

I remember you well, old man! You probably don't remember me though- I was just a kid. It was in Athens in 1980 at Utopia, a pay to play disc golf course. I remember watching Scott Zimmerman play for the first time and I was in awe. I was equally impressed with the likes of Ross Snyder, Jeff Watson, and Bruce Somebody (from Chicago?). I remember that the course was adjacent to a cow field and the cows had recently gotten through the fence, so there was a bunch of sh#t on a few holes. I think Don Wilchek came back on Sunday to win the tourney.
I do not remember you from there though. I distinctly remember you putting up some big numbers in Distance and MTA back in the one of the first of Murfreesboro's tournaments. David Kessler TD? Does that ring a bell? I was a kid then, too, but an awesome freestyler coming in first in that event. I think I may have seen you the following year in Huntsville in what I think was another NAS tourney (or did that end in '80?) and maybe again in Huntsville in '82 at an SCF/DDC tourney. Snapper Pierson, Dave Hubbard and Rick Lebeau were the ones that impressed me as a kid there.
I don't know, they all begin to blend together after this long. I guess maybe I don't remember you all that well after all, then huh? Anyway, it is fun to think about those days.

Enjoy the memories,

Daniel

Matts point about less disc are better is the best advice for an up and comer. Why have 20 different discs in your bag if you can't throw any of them where you want. There so many discs out there that have the same flight characteristics. Find the ones that work for you and stick with them. Learn how to throw 3 to 5 diffenernt disc well. If your throwing the same driver you will know how it flies so you can compensate on different wind conditions or other factors. Figure out which discs you throw well and leave the excess bagage at home. Your score will reflect it.

I've heard an (old?) story of someone winning a major (world?) tourney in europe using just a few discs 2? 3? 4?. Anybody know the story. If its true, the moral would be: You don't need a cpuole of punds of plasic to throw well.

There are lots and lots of good ideas in this thread. I suggest trying any idea that sounds good and seeing if it works for YOU.

While I HAVE noticed that many of the top golfers DO limit their bag to less than 10 discs I have another take.

Generally, I have found golfers either adjust their throw to meet the needs of the hole or adjust the disc to meet the needs of the hole (yes, we have discussed this once b4). Now there are of course variations of both but I see those as two general thought processes taken by many golfers.

Let me digress a second and say that no matter what philosophy you have, first and foremost is KNOW THY PLASTIC. So it doesn't make sense for someone just getting used to these discs to play with many different discs. Get used to a disc, learn it's characteristics when new and when not new. Then learn another disc and see what works best for YOU.

I am of the throw-the-same-way-change-the-disc school and many of the posters in this thread are of the throw-the-same-disc-adjust-the-throw school. Those players can carry less discs in their bag. I, on the other hand, carry about 18 discs: 4 putter and approach shot discs, 4 flippy discs, 3 long distance (KC eagles...), 3 medium distance (rocs...), a long distance roller, a Banshee for trick shots, etc. Each of the catagories with multiple discs have discs of different degrees of beat-up-ness/flippiness.

*So, generally, I throw all these discs the same way - straight and level. I find it alot easier to throw a disc straight and let it do what it is designed to do rather than adjusting my throw.

Let's take an example:

You got a 225' straight shot to a right curve in the fairway that leads to the basket 50'-75' from the bend. Whaddaya do?

Do you throw a flippy disc with hyzer (stingray, stratus...)?
Do you throw a semi flippy disc straight (cobra, beat up roc,...)?
Do you throw a even less flippy disc with anhyzer (roc,...)?
...

Like I said, I try and throw straight. So I take my Cobra or beat up Roc and throw it straight and let it curve right.

If I carried less discs and didn't have those discs, I can adjust my throw and throw a different disc as alot of golfers do. To each his own. Just see what works best for you.


-Scott

PS I use a large Skysouth bag with 3 partitions. Flippy in one, putt and approach in the other and all else in the middle. Count your discs before going out and know what discs you have in your bag so when one is missing you can remember where you threw it.

<FONT SIZE="-2">(hey Sean, did that Stratus have a name/number on it?) </FONT>

Simple is good.3 drivers, 2 approaches and 1 putter should do the trick. Less variables to deal with. The point is.......KNOW THY DISCS!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to burst any bubbles. But, I find that the order of my disc's fall into line according to use. The more I use a disc, the more right from left it becomes. How ever, everyone has their own style of organization. Just like everyone has their own drive, approach, and putt.
During practice drives, I never throw more than six disc's. I don't like to go hunting for disc's either. But, to each, his own. I'm shure my way is not the best way, but it works for me.
I've only been playing since last Dec. and instantly fell in-love with the game. Thanks to all for a great game. Sunny dayz to all...Disc on

My bag is arranged a litle different, my most thrown drivers are in the middle,

N - New/BackUp Drivers
S - Specialty Discs
M - Midrange
D - Drivers

Here's a diagram:

NN SS M DDDD M SS NN
Putter goes in the putter pocket

I have a Revolution Bag. My bag is arranged according to 2 rules.
1st- Whether it is a Driver/Mid Range/Approach/Putter.
2nd is Stability.

My Bag:

R/ES/EU/TU/XL/ER/PR/SR/NRS/MRXU/CRS/CRM/CHU/AS/AU

R: Ram- Nothing Stabler
ES: Eagle Stable
EU: Eagle Understable
TU: Tee-Bird Understable
XL: New XL
ER: Eagle Roller (Very Understable in flight, but stable when rolled.)
PR: Polaris Roller (Way Whooped in flight, something about the plastic makes it boom on rollers. Less stable than eagle roller.)
SR: Stringray Roller (Never flys, born to roll, very understable roller, burn it hyser for amazing tunnel rollers.)
NRS: New Roc Stable
MRXU: MRX Understable
CRS: Classic Roc Stable
CRU: Classic Rock Understable
CHU: Classic Hammer Understable
AS: Aviar Stable
AU: Aviar Putter Understable

My bag changes from time to time, as discs break or get replaced, but I keep it's order continue to follow these same rules. Makes sense for me.

My bag has 2 main criteria for organization: Distance (Driver/Mid-range/Approach) and Stability. A third criteria enters in with a few specialty discs (specific to the course being played), positioned last in the bag. My bag looks like this:
Comet
Cobra
Spitfire (#3 Flyer)-Old, turns over predictably.
Spitfire - Medium broken in - Stable and straight.
Spitfire - New
Eclipse - (Broken in)Flies like it's on a frozen rope.
Cheetah - (Old) - For Long turnover shots and downwind drives.
Cheetah - Slightly broken in.
Cheetah - New
Banshee - Beat up - Side arm shots.
Banshee - New. Side arm, for those right to left hook shots (i'm a lefty).
X-Clone - Side arm accuracy shot.
X-Clone - New
*Polaris LS - Specialty disc.

Not all of these are always in the bag, but their place in the bag remians consistent. As with Nick, this system works well for me. Little time is spent searching the bag for the right disc prior to the shot, allowing more time to concentrate on the shot at hand.

What does overstable and understable mean?

hi morgan, i believe you can find the answers you need in older discussions. try 1.misc./disc physics/ eric raamot. and 2.disc golf equip./stable/over/under. this should help. eric is a physicist, he may/may not master his discs in flight, but i'm sure he understands the characteristics of discs in flight. good luck!

Morgan,

Although stability is covered elsewhere - here's the basic. A stable or overstable disc has a tendency to curve in the opposite direction of the spin of the disc. So for a righty backhand throw (clockwise spin) - stable discs tend to go left. Unstable or understable discs have a tendency to turn in the direction of the spin. Most all discs have an element of stability when they are new - and become less stable with age.

There are a wide array of levels of stability available. A slightly less stable version usually yields the best results for someone new to golf plastic.

Where in NY are you located? - there's a tournament this weekend in northern NJ @ Douglass College in New Brunswick (maybe 40 minutes south of NYC). It's been the richest 1 day event in the country 3 years running - may be worth checking out if it's not too far away. I'd love to see the way you throw!! Good luck.

Craiger

What makes a disc stable? The mass being kept close to the rim? The lift-to-mass ratio? The design of the edge? What.

Look at anton robertson's last post. He tells you where to look on this site and who's posts to look for i.e. eric raamot's

You've got it Morgan,

There are a number of factors which contribute to stability. One is the amount of mass around the rim.

Another is the depth of the rim to the flight plate.

And then there is the many combinations of both that give you the vast variety in stability.

There are so many models to choose from out there- it would be hard to generalize on these characteristics. But.......... generally shallower discs are less stable, ones with more massive rims are more stable. Flatter discs are more stable when new - domier discs are less stable. There are pretty good disc reviews and stability and glide evaluations available on line. Check out Innova and Discraft product lines for their charts on what discs do.

Good luck - hope to see you on the course sometime. Oh - and don't give up if you don't throw 300' first time out.

Craiger

Just to further confuse you, Morgan, the flight characteristics of any given disc usually change over time after they've hit a few trees, spent some time in your car trunk during the summer, etc. This change seems to be more pronounced with "standard" plastics, and less pronounced with high end stuff, i.e. Discraft's Elite line, Innova's KC plastic, and the Millennium discs. What's really sweet is when you get a disc broken in to a flight line that you can use, and it stays that way for a while. Takes a lot of strokes off your score.

OVERSTABLE MEANS IF YOUR RIGHT HANDED AND YOU BACKHAND IT WILL GO LEFT UNDERSTABLE IS JUST THE OPPESET

The way that I organized my bag is that I have put the most stable disc to the left. Then the rest are just in there. If I have any that are the same type then I will put those together. I always put drivers to the left, then the midranges, then my putters. I have thrown my discs enough to know when, where, and how to throw each one when I pick it up. If I don't know then I will not throw it until I ask someone with more knowledge of that certain disc.

I start on the left (with bag hanging on my right side) with overstable mids-understable mids -- divider -- fairway drivers understable-overstable, control drivers understable-overstable, and in the back pocket long range drivers overstable inside to stable outside.
Both of my putters fit on the side (sometimes I'll carry a third placed next to the divider on the mid side).
All my other junk goes in the front pocket where I can easily reach it, with my towel on top.
Now, do you care? I hope not. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif But it works for me.

Mine is organized in the Roy G Biv method!

...on the Dark Side of the Moon...

Exactly! I'm just not sure which end of the spectrum I'm supposed to place the white ones.

Caddy, please hand me my indigo Orc!

White discs go in the end pockets... Spinning the spectrum results in the appearance of all colors - white. Black is the absence of color... Just ask Roy, your caddy!

Left to Right, Putters - Mids - Drivers ... thats as far as my organizational skills go

Two sections in the bag: Drivers on one side, Mids/Putters on the other.

I usually leave my "game" discs in the car. :)

I too go from left to right, drivers to mids to putters; but I also go from most to least stable within each category.

The current setup is: Z Pred, Z Flash, DX Teebird 1, DX Teebird 2, DX Beast, DX Valkyrie, DX Roc 1, DX Roc 2, DX Roc 3, SS Wizard, X Stratus, and then my S Wizard in the putter pocket for...um...putting. :D


BTW, this has to be the oldest thread resurrection I've ever seen! This thread was originally started back in 2000 and had been dead for 7 years!! :eek:

sleepy

So, I have WAY too much time on my hands. I recently put together a nearly all-ESP bag that uses most of the previously mentioned methods simultaneously!

L --> R by color, then general distance (driver/mid/approach/putt), then stability:

Red Predator (172g)
Orange Pulse (169g)
Yellow Avenger (167g)
Yellow-green Crush (168g)
Green Surge (168g)
Blue Surge (165g, worn)
Purple Z-Xpress (167g, roller)
Blue Wasp (176g)
Green Buzzz (176g)
Yellow BangerGT (172g)
Orange Z-Flick (150g, thumber)
Red D-BangerGT (172g)

A bit obsessive-compulsive, I know. It sure grabs people's attention when I open the top flap of my bag to start a round! Really easy to tell if something is missing too...

nanook

My disorganized bag is organized to me. I have a couple extra disc on each end of the inside of the bag. Usually my roller disc and a really overstable(hyser) disc that I only use occasionally. Then I have my drivers on the left side according to stability except that my main driver is in the middle left. Then my most used midrange is in the middle right next to my upshot putter. I like those frequently used disc near the middle. Clear as mud.

Am I the only person who groups their bag by discs? I know how my discs tend to fly, so I just group the same ones together (with a couple of exceptions).

My two most stable (Flick and Pred) are together at the left end, then 2 Z Flash, 2 Z Avenger, 3 ESP Surge, 1 ESP Crush, 1 Z Crush. My ESP Buzz rounds on the divided partitions. I've got my backup/utility discs in the unpartitions part of the main compartment. That includes a Z Buzz, Pro D Magnet, beat to hell Whippet, and a Z XL.

The outside pocket has to have the putter of course, gogo Pro D Challenger :D

Firebirds - Pulse - Wraiths - Teebirds - Leopards - Gator - Rocs - Wizards

Really easy to tell if something is missing too...

nanook



exactly why i do it that way :cool:

From Left to right Drivers Mids Putter

Overstable to understable for each set from left to right!!!

dewey decimal system for me...

Now THAT is funny! :D:D:D

Am I the only person who groups their bag by discs? I know how my discs tend to fly, so I just group the same ones together (with a couple of exceptions).


Yup & nope. ;) From left to right ~> left pocket - DX Rhino and DX GATOR, main compartment - 3 DX Rocs (2 red, 1 white - random order), Demon G5i, divider, 1st Run DX Eagle~roller, 2 Sidwinders, 2 Tee Birds, 2 Orcs, QOLF, Firebird. Aviar & SE Rhyno in putter pouch. I tend to put the darker of 2 like-discs (regardless of stability) toward the right to better divide from other discs.

Most of the time, in causal play and leagues, I place a 12 pack of beer in the bag and try and make room for a driver, putter, and mid.

Since PDGA had outlawed the consumption of 'aiming juice' during the round, I go right to left. Staring far right, I group drivers from over to understable, then my mids over to understable, then on the far left I keep an extra putter if I'm off with my main, and a hydra that I putt with sometimes. Mine are all orange so I can't easily pull the right one out. I've also found that I get incredibly bored with the slow pace of tournament play, so forcing myself to keep my bag organized helps take up some of the slack.

Understables to the left,
Mid ranges middle,
stables and overstables on the right.

Putters in the putter pocket,
mini in the mini pocket
and beverages in the beverage pockets. ;)

Bowler

'Winders to the left of me, Monsters to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with Roc. :cool:

From left to right, putters, mids, drivers. Groupings from overstable (left) to understable (right). I like it this way because I can think in terms of stability, which I would do anyway, but I can tweak it a bit as I am looking at my discs, more or less stable, depending on wind and flight needed.

After reading this thread, I am sure I am doing it wrong, and will improve if I change the order of my discs! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I go from left to right(putter pocket away from me and not pointing at me).
I got from putters -mids- drivers in orders of stability

putter pocket:
kc aviar (no time stamp)
JK aviar (5x stamp)
Main Compartment:
Classic Aviar
2x Champion Stingray
2x 1st Run Buzzz
2x Star Sidewinder
2x DX Teebird
1x Star Teerex
1x Star Monster

all in a Carolina Revo bag.

-Scott Lewis

I have drivers, putters, and mids(L to R) with a putter on the outside.
I carry 15 discs (2 of everything and 3 putters).
I don't worry about colour, or stability or anything else. The discs on the end get thrown most often so they are where I can get to them easily.

Close to my set up.

I keep it simple.

From the Left to the Right.
Putters , Mid-Range , Drivers. )I( , ))I( , )))II(( 14 Discs total.

Each set going from Over-Stable to Understable in each set of discs.

I organize mine from fastest drivers to putters. The order my bag is as follows...

Pro Wraith (New for long hyzers)
Pro Wraith (Semi beat for turns and max. distance)
ESP Surge (Downhill with wind)
Elite Z Surge ( Loooooong tunnel shots)
Champion Orc (Two, both new and used for anhyzer shots with a touch of stability at the end)
Champion Sidewinder (Two, both new for pure anhyzer shots only)
Champion TeeBird (Two new, hyzers and sidearm shots)
10X KC Pro Gazelle (it's there to fill space)
SE TeeBird-L (Tunnel shots)
CFR TeeBird-L (Tunnel shots)
Buzzz-GT (Shots within 250 ft. whether be hyzer or anhyzer)
Elite X Storm (filling up space as well)
DX Gator (Midrange shots in a headwind and hyzers)
Supersoft Wizard (soon replaced by Star Aviar Driver)
4X JK Aviar-X (anyhzer putts, shots within 225)
5X JK Aviar-X (accuracy and hyzer putts)

I order it from front putters than under stable than stable than mid ranges than a thumber.

drivers at one end mids at the other~~~and the putters in the CENTER.

SS in Side Pocket
2 M S Wizards in Front Pocket

2 S Demons
2 E Element-X
2 E Elements

Looking at my bad from the front, working left to right, drivers(5-7), rocs(3), aviars(3), all 3 organized left(more stable) to right(less stable). Works for me. There is also room for plenty of refreshments! :D

I go for reverse-alphabetical...Is that too anal?

Seriously though how ever they fall in the sleeves is how their organized.

I go Distance Drivers/Control Drivers/Mid-Ranges/Putters. Within the categories I arrange from over to under stable.

In my bag first it goes by speed of the disc. If there are discs with the same speed it goes by whichever mold is more over stable. Then it is divided by weight. If the weights are the same then it goes by overstability.
Example...

Star Max 175
Star Max 172
Star TeeRex 174
Star TeeRex 169 (More Overstable)
Star TeeRex 169 (Less Overstable)
Star Wraith 172
Star Wraith 170

I see at least some use the spectrum method. I go ROY W GBV primarily since my White Roc and Wraith are used a lot and are easy to get at in the middle of the bag. Two or three Classic Rocs (putters) separate from the others facing backwards in the front pocket for easy removal for short "bag putts" without marking. No black discs even in winter.
