I carry about 12 disc when I play. Some of my friends have about 25 when they play. How much is too much and do you really need to carry 15+ disc to have a good game?

Well this is had been discussed quite a lot.. There are a few threads on this.. The one I like the best is "Less Discs Lower scores". I think that is in the technique section.

anyway...
Some people feel comfortable having a disc for every type of shot plus backups of the most important discs. Others carry 1 mold of putter, 1 mold of midrange, and 1 driver mold.
Basically If you know how to throw all 12 discs then you are fine.

The most Important thing is Probably To Avoid OVERLAP.. I see this a lot with People's bags in their Driver Section. People with have Beasts, Starfires, Valks, Orcs, Avengers, Crushes, and Flashes and think they need all of them.. Most of these discs are just copies of eachother and will do almost the same thing.


I currently carry these discs in my bag:
2x Classic Aviar(1 is a backup just in case)
1x JK Aviar-x 4time
1x 1st run Z-Buzzz
1x Cryztal Z-buzzz
1x X-avenger(still experimenting)
2x 11x Teebirds(1 backup)
1x Champion Firebird (Utility)

I have my main putters plus an additional putter for hyzer drives. I have a beat up mid for Turnover/flat drives and I have an overstable mid for Hyzer Drives. I have the Avenger for Rollers and turnovers and my 11x Teebird for Flex/Straight/Hyzer. And lastly the Firebird is for Utility(hammers, forehand cut roller,etc) and Spike hyzers. This covers most of the shots that I would throw.

BUT..

I could just throw a Classic, Buzzz, and Teebird and probably play exactly the same.

It basically just comes down to knowing the discs you have and throwing them.. What good is having 15 different molds if you only know the characteristics of your teebirds and your spiders? Why throw Rocs, Buzzzen, Coyotes, Qms's, MRX's, and Demons if you only know how to throw a spider????

-Scott Lewis

P.s. Remember to try and Avoid Overlap.. DOn't make your shot selection harder by having to choose from 3 discs that will throw similar.

You are right, they are wrong, really!

PS Try it with even less you might be amazed.

Recently I played with a pro wraith, tbird TL, sidewinder, champion stingray, san marino roc, and two champion aviars.

12-14. Like the ball golfers.

Six drivers. Max.
Four mid-range type discs.
One , maybe two Upshot discs.
One Putter.

That's more than enough. All other discs will sit in the bag.

Why 6 drivers and only 1 putter??? what if the majority of your game is throwing putters? wouldn't you want more selection with your putters then?

I Know that people generally carry more drivers becase they are less accurate and thus would require different molds to achieve these longer shots, but what if you throw putters 350 feet? would you really need 6 drivers? wouldn't you want to have mroe mids and putters?

I do agree that 12-14 is more than enough.. Even with my 9 discs set-up right now 5 will Probably sit in the bag the whole time...

-Scott Lewis

My Bad. I should have mentioned , I throw Aviars as drivers. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Those also double as upshot , midrange discs as well. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif 3 distance drivers. The rest are utility discs. :D

Simply stated, too much is more then you throw.

While at my home course I have specific discs for the holes and would only need to carry those. However, I just carry all my discs with me all the time. This allows me to be able practice multiple throws on the teebox when no one is waiting. But I can shoot just as well with 1 mid range as I can with all my discs. Does that mean I should only carry one disc.....no.

As far as overlap. The closest I get is an Avenger, a Wraith and a Beast. The Avenger is more stable then the Beast, so that is my main driver, and the Beast is more for tail wind drives and hyzer flips or long turns. The Wraith is for 400ft+ head wind shots.

I carry a Talon a Teebird and an XL. While some say these are overlapped discs, I argue they have different speed and different stabilities.

While I carry about 20 discs, I constantly am searching for discs I do not need. Most of mine are of the same mold, 2 Leopards, 2 Wasps, 3 Buzzz's and 3 Challengers.Right there is half my bag.

If you notice you are carrying a disc you never use, then take it out. But if you use it, or consider it an ulitity disc for highly specialized shots like my Champ Gator and Champ Whippet, then keep them in there to help you get out of trouble. Because you will be kicking your self for taking that Gator out of your bag when you have to try to spike hyzer a KC Roc around a tree in a 20mph head wind.

I agree with the above posts in that alot of discs in a bag may not get used....but for me that depends on the conditions on any particular day. On a calm day with little to no wind, I use about 5 or 6 discs. On a windy/gusty day I use 5 or 6 discs but not the same ones as a calm day. Conditions may change during any given day at the course so I have about 15 total discs in my bag (mind you I am a Roc freeeeeeeek so I have 3 of them tucked in there-DX,CFR,PRO and I rotate those with the stack at the house depending on my mood.)

I, like most people just starting out, went crazy when I first got into DG. I bought every mold I set my eyes on (especially drivers) and carried 25+ with me playing. I don't neccessarily think this was a bad thing for me though. I was figuring out my throwing style and also how different discs reacted to that style. Now that I know everything I have down to 3-4 driver molds, lots of element-x's (rotating roc style), an element, and some wizards. In other words carry what you need to get better, you'll figure out what belongs in your bag.

I didnt read all this yet but if there was a number given of too many I take it offensive because i carry 28 right now lol

how do you pull that off. drive your car onto the course with you? 30 170g discs would break my back if i walked a mile with them every day.

i carry 10 discs. thats my limit. there is slight overlap, but thats because i was down to 8 discs, then had some space left in my bag and i though 'those discs couldnt hurt.' i use almost every disc on every course i play.

i think that if you are walking around with over 20 discs you have a problem. 18 holes shouldnt need 18 different drivers. if thats your style, and it works for you, fine. but i dont think its nesesary. far from it.

i was on the course last week, and i saw two of the founding discgolfers in my area on the hole behind me. they each carried 8 discs max. when i see new golfers carying 20 discs, and old pro's with under 10, i think that means somehting. when you go out and learn a new sport, you try to emulate the people who know what they are doing.

thats my .02

but see what i do is carry at least 2 of each disc I throw so incase i lose one during the round i know its not the exact same but its close enough

The question is...
should the PDGA put a limit on how many discs a person is allowed to
carry during a tournament. There is a definitely a rule in ball golf... The
golfer has to make choices before the tournmanent on which clubs he truly
needs but he can not go above thirteen (i think). Of course, Ball golfers do
not routinely lose their clubs in ponds or get them stuck in trees...unless it
is a really really bad round
just some thoughts...any others

but see what i do is carry at least 2 of each disc I throw so incase i lose one during the round i know its not the exact same but its close enough



if your thinking about losing every disc you throw and therefore double them up, maybe checkers would be a better game for ya.

Almost every disc I carry is overlapped, but not really. I carry:
Champ Firebird 173 (wind-utility)
2nd run clear Orc 175 (hyzer and flex)
1st run Orc 171 (straight 90% of the time)
1st run Orc 167 (older & much wiser anny and roller)
Champ Gator 172 (wind-utility)
2005 spectator Roc 180 (hyzer and flex)
2004 Ring of Rocs Roc 169 (straight 90% of the time)
Glow Roc 172 (older & much wiser anny and hyzer flip dead straight)
2 K.C. Aviars 175 (putt and approach both exactly the same so I don't have any choices)
I'm off to USDGC as a spectator maybe this years Roc will find a place in the bag.
24220

Golf club limit is 14
I dont think disc golf needs a limit at this point.
Ball golfers keep backups nearby just not in their bag. Kinda of hard to do in disc golf with no golf cart to bring your replacement disc to you.

Here is a way to completely eliminate all this back and forth opinions about the appropraite number of discs to carry...........
Let the PDGA make a new formal policy called the
" Crazy John Brooks Rule "!!
And under this rule no player will be allowed to carry more than 4 Discs and no golf Bags allowed !! :p

Hmmmmmmmmm..............I agree Jack. Happy Birthday !!!!!

I personally love the Golf Cart and would like to have my own !!!!!!! Seen this one on the car show channel, had shocks , lifted , cd player , mp3 player and DVD player, cooler on the back , nice place to sit down !!!!!!! :D

but see what i do is carry at least 2 of each disc I throw so incase i lose one during the round i know its not the exact same but its close enough



Especially when I travel to tournaments I always (have) a exact replacement for every disc in my bag. However, I keep them in the trunk. I could literally throw my entire bag in a pond and pull out every disc out of my trunk. In most tournament settings you cross the parking lot a time or two. At worst you have to finish the round without one disc. And you can force similar discs to fly like others. Like if I lost my Teebird mid round, I can use my Talon. The Talon is more overstable, but I can release it with slightly more anny and make it work just fine.

What bag do you have that will fit 28 discs. I maxed out my Innova Tour bag at 24, but am now down to 19 discs.

As a player who used to carry a ton of discs and now has cut down to 11, I think that a PDGA rule would be useless. In ball golf, there could be an advantage to carrying a lot of clubs. But for me, when it comes to disc golf, the more discs I carry (not counting backups), the worse I play. I think if a 10 or 12 disc limit was put in effect, it would help most of the players and make it harder for me to cash. :D

I carry a 10 pack. But I'm sure I could get away with 4. The most important thing is to know your plastic. Know what it does and know what you need on a given shot. It takes time of course, a lot of playing real golf shots (not just driving in a field) to get to know your plastic.

I like having some choices but in the end I could play anywhere with my gang of four - Cyclone 2 for most drives, Roc for mids and whatnot, Raven for anhyzers and rollers, and Aviar for putts.

The more you know your plastic and the better you get at golf then you'll realize that carrying a gazillion discs around is pretty useless; in my humble opinion of course
:cool:

Why can't you throw golf shots in a field? You don't just have to throw as hard as you can. Take your bag and put it in the field and throw at it every way you can. Hyzer, anhyzer, straight, sidearm, roller. Also try different heights (hyzer bombs and hyzer skips).

My innova tour holds 28 no problem. I get a good workout and get to carry multiples of every key disk. 5 rocs, 5 wizards, 4 Wraiths, 4 starfires, 4 starfire X's etc,. This way I get to throw multiples whenever i want and dont have to worry about losing 1 douring tourneys. Ive only been playing since spring 2004 and this method has helped me get good quick (espesially when your trying to dial in a specific hole (or course for that matter). Best thing to do is get your friends into throwing multiples too. Thowing multiples in a field is GOOD practice, but id rather like to "bring it" to the course. If you try this, use quadshocks and bring some extra water (especially in the summer).

Nothing against throwing in a field, I do it all the time and it helps a lot. I just feel like there's nothing like learning on a course with real hazards and obstacles - figuring out how to make a decent shot out of a horrible lie, etc. But field testing certainly helps to a degree.

my innova tour bag has 28 in it im going to go check lol. Well im sorry i lied i got 27 in it right now and there are still open spaces. got
1 aviar in putter pocket
2 coyotes and 2 rocs on one side pocket
5 aviars in the other pocket
and 17 disc inside the bag

ok ill list off all my disc for yall then lol
7 kc pro aviars

2 pro classic rocs
2 champion beast
1 champ beast
2 pro orc
1 champ orc
2 sidewinders
3 pro starfires
2 pro leporads
1 cfr wraith

I keep my bag mostly full (12-13 discs) because they tend to fall out otherwise. It's rare that I'll even throw half of them in a given round.

I tend to use more discs on courses I play a lot, because I've had a chance to experiment and figure out the best disc for each shot. If I'm not familiar with the course, I try to keep it very simple.

how do you pull that off. drive your car onto the course with you? 30 170g discs would break my back if i walked a mile with them every day.

i carry 10 discs. thats my limit. there is slight overlap, but thats because i was down to 8 discs, then had some space left in my bag and i though 'those discs couldnt hurt.' i use almost every disc on every course i play.

i think that if you are walking around with over 20 discs you have a problem. 18 holes shouldnt need 18 different drivers. if thats your style, and it works for you, fine. but i dont think its nesesary. far from it.

If you can't walk a mile carrying 11 pounds on your back you probably shouldn't take up hiking. ;)

It's worth noting that professional players have a much larger skill set than recreational disc golfers and are able to get a wide variety of flight paths out of a smaller number of discs. It's also worth noting that not all players aspire to be professional disc golfers. Some just like to use a lot of different discs and that's more fun for them.

If it matters, I carry ~20 (9 or 10 molds) and use ~10 discs for any given round.

i was just thinking that the experienced players seem to carry less discs. and personnaly, whether i plan on being a professional golfer or not, i have learned this sport from the pros. we try to learn techniques and form from them all the time. thats what much of this forum is all about. getting help from those who have been doing this for a while.

i have no problem with seeing people carry 20 discs, i just dont think i could ever find a use for that many. you dont have to have a strong arm to be able to use one disc for a number of shots.

and actually, i love hiking...... :cool::D

i carry 11 max, and sometimes that seems too much. there is definately overlap and extras. 5 molds. i could do without the tsunami though, and probably the glide, but it is really fun to throw.
3 spiders
2 gators
z-glide
3 avengers
tsunami
z-pred

Experienced players carry less plastic because we have learned that it's better to still have some energy at the end of rounds than dragging *****.

I try to keep it at 10 or under, empasis on the try. Also, I do remove a disc if it hasn't been thrown in a while; I just removed my viking. But there are some discs I like regardless of carry over; for example, I'm not sure I need a wildcat, xpress, sidewinder, and viking. I can throw similar shots with all of these, but I like carrying them with me.

About the only thing I carry a back up for is my putter; I never have liked putting with anything but a putter, so I carry two wizards. Also, sometimes I carry spares in case someone wants to buy or trade for one. I've sold more wizards by people approaching me, asking to try it, then making me an offer.

Some people just like to carry all their discs with them, and that's their choice. I prefer to keep it basic. It seems that it's all the water I carry that makes my bag heavy, not discs. Thank you quad shocks!

It's worth noting that professional players have a much larger skill set than recreational disc golfers and are able to get a wide variety of flight paths out of a smaller number of discs.



Do you think the pros were just born with this ability? They were beginners at one time too. They had to learn to throw a disc and make it do a lot of different things. Anyone can learn.

So you guys are saying that beginners should throw the same discs as pros? They can learn to throw Firebirds for most driver shots eventually, right?

Of course anyone can learn. What do you do until you learn, though? Are we all supposed to just suck and be horrible until we're good? If I had to take that approach I probably would have lost interest. The point is that the "right" number of discs will vary from player to player.

but im only 16 so that weight doesnt feel like anything to me

Enjoy it while you can before this thing called work starts to interfere with your game.

And then this other thing called a family will take even more time away from your game.

For ball golfers, the difference in clubs is pitch.

For us disc golfers the (main) difference in discs is stability.

Sure professional disc golfers can make many discs do similar flight characteristics. And ball golfers can make a 5 iron do what a 7 iron does.

But this requires changing your swing/throw.

Sure I can make my XL do exactly what my Teebird can do, and visa versa.

But why should I if I do not have to?

That is the benefit of carrying multiple discs.

You don't see Tiger out at the Masters with a 1 wood, a 5 iron and a putter. I am positive he could play well with just those three clubs, he is a great player.

That is also why Kenny could whip everyone on this D-board with just a Teebird, a Roc, and an Aviar.

It is all about the indian, not the arrow (or arrows).

Enjoy it while you can before this thing called work starts to interfere with your game.

Why do you think that pros throw Firebirds for their main driver?

I never said they should throw the exact same discs. I just think that ANYONE can play ANY COURSE with 12 discs. Maybe even 10 or less.

Sounds like what rich people say about poor people,"it's only [insert the appropriate amount here] dollars..." People that have money shouldn't judge those that don't. Same thing with time. Don't stop reading; I used the money anology for a reason...

I have local players tell me all the time, "if I couldn't play disc, I'd quit my job." My response? Well, I don't have a mother, wife, or anyone else to support me. That is not an option.

Excuses or not excuses, we must love dg, or we wouldn't spend so much time on these boards.

I never said they should throw the exact same discs. I just think that ANYONE can play ANY COURSE with 12 discs. Maybe even 10 or less.



Anyone can play any course with 1 disc, but that's not the point. Beginner and even intermediate players just don't have access to the same number shots as upper level advanced and pro players. Of course it's a good idea to learn those shots, but you suggested that even top players aren't born with the ability to throw them. Many of those shots are trick shots that aren't needed more than once or twice a round, but having access to a disc that will allow you to throw that shot when needed. It's nice to have that before you are able to build the skills needed to throw those shots with other discs. Also, many of us recreational players lose discs and having backups is necessary. Taking your "rule" of 12 discs per round, add a couple of backups for the discs you use all the time and specialty discs and you get up to 20 real quick. I suppose if you're real good you might be able to shave it down to 14-16 discs:

http://www.innovadiscs.com/team/barry.html

http://www.innovadiscs.com/team/ken.html

or perhaps down to 17 if you aren't quite that good:

http://www.innovadiscs.com/team/brians.html

When I first started playing, I had one disc, a cyclone. I asked those with several discs what I needed, and they told me: you need 3 discs. A left turn driver, right turn driver, and a putter. I asked about straight, and they told me that I could make both my left turn and right turn discs go straight.

people can carry as many discs as they want. its a preference thing, and there will never be a 'right' answer.
heres how my bag is broken down.

1 - super over stable driver
1 - overstable to stable driver
1 - understable to stable driver
1 - very understable driver
1 - Tommy Driver
having a driver in each stability covers every type of shot. i think 5 drivers is resonable.
1 - midrange overstable
1 - midrange stable
1 - midrange understabe
1 - short midrange tommy disc.
again, i cover all the bases. im not missing anything. i used to cary 2 more discs. one more very understable, and one more very overstable, like my drivers, but i personally dont need it.
1 - approach
1 - putter
i dont understand why people have so many different putters. its a 30' shot, if its more use a midrange or approach, thats what they are there for.

right there thats 11 discs. i carry 10 because i use a classic roc for approaches and putts. i can understand people needing more options than that, add in a few extra putters for wind and such, and a couple extra multipurpose midrange, i can see how they add up. but what i cant understand is how 17 extra discs could fit anywhere in there. again its a preference thing, but my preference is one disc for each shot.

yea i know, i talk to much. i just dont want people to take anything i say the wrong way. there is no right answer, but thats how i feel.

and for the record, im only 17. :D

I use a different approach.

2 of everything I would not want to finish a round without.
1 each of specialty shot discs.

2 Firebirds
2 Orcs
2 Orions
2 Starfires
2 Crushes
2 CE-JLSs
2 ROCs
2 Putters (I have lost one during a tournament)
1 CE ROC
1 Eagle
1 Teebird
1 Viper
1 Sidewinder
1 Beast
1 Viking

+ a few new discs yet to find a place in the bag.
Currently they are Pro and CFR Wraiths.

20+ discs, but I only throw about 6 in any one tournament.

I hyzerflip most of my drives, and never know at the beginning of the day what stability driver is going to work well that day. Sometimes it's the Orcs, sometimes the Starfires, somtimes it's the Orions. Usually it's the same driver for the entire round, but it's normally a different driver for each round. Ah, the joys of getting old.

Are you that good of a player that you Notice that much of a difference between your starfire, orcs, orions, and crushes or do you just throw them differently and thus you think they are different? I know they have different stability ratings, but If i threw any of those discs they would probably end up doing enough similar things that it would be useless for me to carry them all..

But if you know how to throw each one that that's fine. This whole discussion is just about how many You consider enough and what you are comfortable with throwing and I value everyone's answer.

-Scott Lewis

Yes, I can tell the difference. It's all a matter of speed and high speed turn. Each disc requires a certain amount of speed to get them to flip up flat from a hyzer start. Instead of adjusting my throw, I adjust to a slower or faster disc depending on how I am throwing that day.

Some days I'll get out feeling good and can flip everything in my bag, somedays I'm doing good to get the sidewinder to flatten out. I never trust throwing anything but the Firebirds, Orions, JLSs, and ROCs flat.

Much more than about 10 discs seems excessive to me. I play at one of the easiest courses to lose discs on (DeLaveaga), but never carry two of anything...I never plan on losing discs. I find them 99% of the time, and if not, I have 8 other discs to play with. Seems ridiculous to carry extra discs of everything just because you may lose a disc once a month. But others may not care to look very hard for their discs...or may shank them more than I do!

I go with:
Longest distance stable driver (CFR Starfire-L)
Slightly less distance, slightly less stable driver (CE TL)
Understable driver (beat in QLJS)
Thumber (Champion T-bird, may replace with CE Firebird)
Mid-range stable (Wasp)
Mid-range understable (Glide)
Approach stable (Classic Roc)
Approach understable (old XD)
Putter (APX)

I've tried to add a couple of more, but they typically just repeat/overlap what I already have.

This is what I carry when I play DeLaveaga. When I play most other (easier) courses, I typically carry even less discs.

I've heard that some disc golf pros force their students(?) to play rounds for several weeks with only a Roc...

-E

when i started i used only a 150 shark. yes i was horrible, but the game was just as fun as it is now with 10 discs. i was actually thinking of going an entire round with my classic roc. i love that thing. does whatever i want it to.

my bag holds 20 discs. So, I carry 20. I may only use 8 of them on a given course, but I carry them because you never know. There is some redunancy, but small differences add up sometimes. I could narrow it down, but that would involve removing discs that I like to throw, that I know well and am pretty good with. And I like the second shot if the course is slow... it's good practice and the practice field bores me.

Im just starting and only have 8 discs anyway, but for now thats all i need. I probably won't get any new discs until Christmas when ill actually have time to play once or twice a week instead of once or twice a month. :D

12-14 is more than enough , with a 32 oz. water bottle.

Anything more is excessive weight.

Some need to feel comfortable , carring backups for their backups !!!!! :eek:

Forgive me if someone has said this - first visit to the thread, but I doubt someone has, since it's gonna be the best point brought up and that of pure 1020 rated thinking.

The amount of discs you carry in your bag is probably based on where you live. I'm in NC - wooded course after wooded courses - therefore, I carry lots of avairs (5) and midranges (7)b/c we have lots of techical shots - if I lived out in Texas or something, I wouldn't have the need for my super flippy and beat up Rocs like I do here.

Nice to always carry a beat up Roc. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

yeah but I got 4 in the bag :D

I'm in NC - wooded course after wooded courses - therefore, I carry lots of avairs (5) and midranges (7)b/c we have lots of techical shots - if I lived out in Texas or something, I wouldn't have the need for my super flippy and beat up Rocs like I do here.



Yeah you would because you can playa long open course drive 5 miles away and play a short tight course. BTW <--- not using roc :D:D

Actually, I started with a small Lighting bag, small Innova, then went to the Innova Deluxe (had 2 of them, still have 1).

The reason I like the smaller bags was that I didn't want a heavy bag, and I had no intention of carrying more than a few drivers, a putter, and midrange.

I went to the Revolution bag due to its duo drink holders and non-disc storage capacity. When carrying 5 discs, they wouldn't really stand straight in the frame, so I added a few more. Before I knew it, I had it filled.

Also, I always have some new discs in there that I am trying out or trying to beat up a little. For example my pro wraith, I'm not sure if it will stay in the bag, but I'm definately trying it out.
