Its been years since I've seen a thread like this, so here it is. Pretend you are going on tour and you will be playing all types of courses--with only 3 discs. What would they be?

For me I would take:

Beat Warlock putter--my main putter and great for short/approach shots that are straight or anhyzer.

2nd FR Z Buzz--stable disc for everything from 350' drives to hyzer approach shots. This disc would be my workhorse.

12x Star Wraith--broken in, but still stable. This would take care of all my distance needs as well as hyzers in the 300+ range.

Z Flick
Z Flash
D Challenger

teebird
roc
aviar

11x Aviar
DX Gremlin
Ch. Teebird

JK Aviar (stable)
Champion Stingray
Champion Monster

I dunno, the driver is the tough part of the equation.

We played a 3 disc round at one of the Ice Bowl's last year here in Georgia. It made things interesting.

I carried and would carry:

Stable Flat Top Roc
Beat Flat Top Roc
First Run Star Teerex

I used the beat Roc for putts and it worked quite well.

Medium Warlock
RR Z-Comet
Champ Monarch

wow... 3 discs is tough. last weekend peeps were saying they threw 4-5 discs all tourney, I threw 12. with that said I think my three would be the following:

beat wizard
Flat Top Full Color DX Roc
11x KC Pro Teebird

teebird
roc
aviar

Specifically-
Beat 9x Aviar
Seasoned 11x Roc

Medium Wizard

Lately I've been playing casual wit just 2:
D-Challenger
Z-Storm (which is actually ESP plastic)

The third would of course be da Z-Tracker...

My Three discs would be
1.) Beat Evo Wizard - everything inside of 225'

2.) Crystal DD Z Buzzz - anything hyzer, straight, or anhyzer thats between 250' and 350'

3.) First Run Star Destroyer - MY BABY!! This baby is beat in perfect. Flies with a beautiful hyzer flip and lands so straight. range 375' to 475'

Pred
MRX (hate leaving out Comet, but Rhyno could take those throws if it had to)
Rhyno

*Max
FLX Buzz
JK Aviar

1. Golden State Classic Pro Destroyer (I call out the stamp is because it was the first one and I feel the plastic is slightly different than the stock models)
2. Star Leopard
3. Gateway Wizard (soft)

171 Champion Beast-X (2005 World's Biggest)
180 Champion Roc (2006 Big Bird Throwback stamp)
175 4x JK Pro Aviar-X

Now that I have thrown the Teebird and the TL I would have to say Teebird or TL (havent decided which I like best) BUZZZ and Challenger.

Wizard
Roc
Eagle (even though I don't carry one right now)

1) 175 big bead DX Aviar for putting and short range drives.
2) 175ish ESP Buzzz (yes Mike, I prefer the Buzzz now...), but still love the Roc for certain shots.
3) 175 Star Destroyer for anything over 350 or so

Star Rhyno
Star Kite
Good Stable Champ Teebird

ce

i'd say it depends heavily on the wind conditions.

calm:
S wizard
Z buzzz
Star wraith

windy:
S wizard
beat Champ whippet X
E spirit (beat or new.. not sure about that)

Force
FLX Drone
ESP Banger-GT

Z Pred
Z Sparkle Rogue

Star Rhyno
Star Kite
Good Stable Champ Teebird

Star Kite?

Warlock
Element-X
Diablo DT

Star Rhyno
Star Kite
Good Stable Champ Teebird

Star Kite?



It is kind of a hybrid disc the best 300' anhyzer disc i have found good for tunnel shots flip hyzers. underrated in my opinion. easy to throw as well.

ce

If we're doing windy vs calm, that makes it much easier to choose :D

Calm:
1st Run Champ Orc (most stable of the Orcs I've thrown)
Ching Roc (my lightly used "Inland Greens" stamped one)
12x KC Aviar (solid black, soft blend...medium stable)

Windy:
11x Champ Teebird (lightly used, translucent, red bad-boy)
San Marino Q Sentinel (flat-top....yeaaahhh)
11x KC Aviar (well used, but still stiff/stable)

man, prob..
Bigbead Aviar (or Aviar X)
Roc
Teebrid..
but i could also do..
Aviar (X or BB)
Buzz
Destroyer (CFR)

1) 175 big bead DX Aviar for putting and short range drives.
2) 175ish ESP Buzzz (yes Mike, I prefer the Buzzz now...), but still love the Roc for certain shots.
3) 175 Star Destroyer for anything over 350 or so



Is it one I gave you? BTW, Congratulations on being a dad!

I would say...

A brand new 168 Star Destroyer.
A beat in DX San Marino Roc.
And a DX Aviar Driver (Big Bead).

Or

175 CE Tl.
175 11x Firebird.
175 Beat in 12x Kc Pro Aviar.

or

175 Beat in Pro Wraith.
175 Star Teebird.
175 10x KC Pro Aviar.

Those type bags are fun...but I agree with whoever said they play with two.

Two is were it is at.

You don't know your discs unless you have thrown them in tandem.

Roc and Aviar.

Teebird and Aviar.

Aviar Aviar. :eek:

esp banger GT-174
esp Buzz -178
champ wraith stable pig -173

CE Valk - 174
Beat Rancho DX Roc - 170
DX Aero - 180

1) 175 big bead DX Aviar for putting and short range drives.
2) 175ish ESP Buzzz (yes Mike, I prefer the Buzzz now...), but still love the Roc for certain shots.
3) 175 Star Destroyer for anything over 350 or so

Yeah, I finally put it in my bag and tried the Buzzz and found it to be very easy to hold long turnovers without diving like most rocs. It has been in my bag now since june or july. I also have a flx drone, esp wasp, a 11x kc roc, and a ching roc for my midrange selection. Everything else in my bag is still Innova though. Teebird(2), T-rex(2), Firebird(2), wraith(1),Destroyer(1). Thanks for the congrats man, its awesome being a dad. :D

Wouldn't tell a **** thing except how indecisive and anal you are about specific 'once a round' shots.

All "well-seasoned":

Cryztal Z-Challenger; Blue, 174-g, slightly concave on top.
1st-run Z-Buzzz; Orange, 172-g, flat-top.
1st-run Z-Crush; Red, 167-g, pearlescent plastic.

Or maybe his skill set is less limited than yours and a 4th disc would really open up possibilities. You really only use 1 driver in your rounds? I started this thread b/c it is interesting to limit yourself for training purposes, but I certainly don't think you should be able to shoot your best scores with 3 discs. Our game is a little deeper than that. Climo carries 19 or something, and I can't even estimate what Feldberg had in his bag at worlds. If your post is sarcastic I would use a smiley face, otherwise you show little respect for the experts that share their wisdom on this board with us. I doubt Mr. McCormick is anal nor indecisive and I agree that a 4th disc would tell us a lot.

Take it all in jest, I was drinking last night and playfully ornery.

I disagree though with the more disc theory. One of the best things I ever did was play an entire year with 2 discs - a driver and a putter. It helped me learn how to throw the disc the way I needed/wanted it to fly, and not rely on the disc itself. I learned how to throw sidearm because my anny was not there. Then I learned to hold a long anny with my Z crush that was getting beat up from playing all year. Now, my 300'+ long turning discs is that beat up Z crush (not a sidewinder or other understable disc). Now I carry about 8-10 discs, and typically see that I play better when I have less in my bag (5-6), I don't question the disc/shot selection, I just make the throw based on what I have. Here at Winter Park I hold the record from the red tees at 41, but in the past I have played numerous rounds with nothing but a Blunt Gumputt and have thrown 42, and 40 numerous times. All in all, because a putter doesn't have 300' distance for me, I'd carry two discs, and I always make sure I have a putter and driver in any one of my vehicles just in case I happen upon a nice course to play.

Wraith, roc, aviar.

here in tulsa at mcclure park i once shot a 57 with only a flex challenger and an omega supersoft. it was one of the most fun rounds i have ever played

challenger
wasp
tracker

I call this the Red Whittington. A two time world champion, '91 Masters and '98 Grandmasters. He carries three discs and is a 970 rated player.

Soft Challenger
X - Stratus
Champion Destroyer

I've never seen anyone throw a stratus like Red, Hyser, Anhyser, straight, you name it he can throw it.

As for me...

Soft Challenger

Soft Wizard
ESP Buzzz
Champ Teebird

P2
ROC
ORC

Star TeeRex (beat)
Z Buzzz
Aviar

First run Star SL (it made me the United States Champion in Long Drive this year in the Masters division) :D
First run Star Coyote
First run original JK Aviar (when she made the "big" switch to Innova)

Use all 3 for over 90% of all shots on most courses I play

In reality I only use 6(4 models) discs for 99% of all of my disc golf shots, with the other 3 being:
Newer First run Star SL
First Run Star Cro (for mid shots I need to come back left)
Newer First run JK Aviar

Of course keeping those 3 discs inbounds is the difference between 1000 rated and 940 rated rounds at every event I play. :eek:

Champion Roadrunner -driver for all long range, hyzer, straight, anhyzer
Old Comet - great mid to long range, hyzer, straight, anhyzer; can also use as putter
DX Rhyno - short midrange, putter

FLX Buzz
D-Challanger
Z-predator

is there anything else ?

Champion Roadrunner -driver for all long range, hyzer , straight, anhyzer
