So it's been a few years since I got to do my last peek in the bag. I used to
throw a lot of forehands. Predominantly forehand. But after tweaking my elbow and
my wrist I've switched to a lot more backhands. So I've had to kind of change
the discs in my bag a little bit, kind of changed the way I approach the game, so
it'll be definitely fun and different from my last one which was I think was
three years ago. I'm gonna start my putters which are my favorite discs in
the bag. I putt with the XT Colts. It feels really comfortable, has a really nice
smooth release. I'm also a spin putter so I put a lot of torque on the disc and I
like it to be able to always fight through a wind and always come back and
not flip over. So the XT Colt has been one of my favorite discs for putting
and throwing as of late, I've been working with throwing putters a lot more
often as well. So the next most thrown disc in my bag is my other putter it is
the Pro Rhyno. It is a little bit tougher to find because it's not a production
run disc. I would line it up with almost an Aviar3
maybe at this time the reason I prefer the Pro Rhyno over the Aviar3 is just
because I like the thumb track on the edge of the disc. I like mine weirdly a
little bit concave. This is supposed to be a disc that just lays down next to
the basket, I don't want to get a lot of distance out of it. The most recent
addition to my bag is this old Innova Aviar putter. I stole this out of Big Jerm's
garage. It has a snowman on it which is not typical for the Florida people but I
really do like this disc a lot. I just started throwing putters this offseason.
I really like the beadless Aviars because you don't get a whole lot of play and
you know what they're gonna do every time so I've really enjoyed learning to
throw this farther than just on short approach shots. The next disc in my bag
that is one of the longest molds in my bag is the beadless Gator.
It turns out they're excellent for any kind of wind shot forehand or backhand.
For longer approaches I can throw it really hard and never ever expect it to
dump. It's always going to come out and it's always going to pretty much hold a
flat line and reliably fade at the end. I've been always wanting to
be your typical Innova player. I always want to bag a Roc. But I've never been
able to figure them out until obviously I started switching to a more backhand
dominant game. I won't say it's consistent yet but I finally feel
confident enough to bag one and use it. It's just a regular DX Roc. It's max
weight. It beats in a little bit faster than maybe you want out of a disc but
they, straight out of the bag, brand new - they're exactly the flight you want. I
throw it around the 250 to 300 range. You can throw it flat and hard and it won't
flip over at first. You can throw it on a hyzer angle and it will flip up to flat.
It's exactly what you want in the woods and it also has a little bit of
glide for if you want to throw it in a more wide-open situation. I bag a Mako3.
Doesn't have a bead, it has a nice rounded rim which is what I like. I throw
it in Star plastic. It takes forever to beat in. It pretty much flies the same as
the day I got it so this is another one like the Roc and like the Aviar that will
show you your errors and force you to clean up your lines a little bit, but
this one's a little bit more forgiving than the Roc. My final mid-range that
is in my bag currently, is my only non Innova mold. It is a Discmania MD2. My
most overstable mid-range in the bag right now. It's another one that is beadless
with a little bit of a rounded edge. I throw it in the S-line plastic so I
can throw it hard and flat and it'll go straight and finish straight with a
reliable fade. So I throw the Firebird in the Star plastic I like a flatter Star
Firebird. These are a little bit of an older run like I said I like the
designer plastic, but thank goodness Nate Sexton came out with his Sexton
Firebird and it's probably one of the more similar discs to the old flat Star
Firebirds I have some of his discs as a backup as well.
They fly pretty similarly in that they don't dump out like your normal flat
Firebird. I don't pull it out as often because on my backhand shots I can't
make it go straight for as far as I could forehand, but it's still my most
reliable disc in my bag for windy days and for those really hard turning left holes.
The next discs in my bag are my Madison Walker tour series disc from 2018. The
Color Glow Champion Thunderbirds, Thunderpeckers if you will. I bag two of
them. One is my older one and then I have a newer one that's more overstable a
little bit more for wind conditions. It's one step up from the Firebird it has
more glide and less fade so basically it's the best disc ever. For backhand
basically whatever line I put these on and whatever angle I release
it on they go on that for a really long time before the reliable fade at the end.
The last non distance high distance driver that I throw is the Sidewinder. I
bag two of them. This is my old crappy one I call it my invisible disc because
if you throw this anywhere you're gonna have a hard time finding it but it's
worth. It goes just as far as my Wratihs and my Shrykes. I can put it on any angle and
if I give it enough height it's always gonna work back at the end and give me
that fade that I want but it goes so far on anhyzer, if you throw it on a hyzer,
it'll flip up to flat and go so far before it fades at the end. Great disc
for beginners. Sidewinders are awesome. I throw it in Champion plastic but it's
great in Star plastic as well. I've just started bagging this blue one that's a
little bit newer. This one is getting a little bit beat in. It's still my favorite
one but I have this one just in case I need something just a tiny bit more
stable but not quite as stable as my Thunderbirds. The next disc that I used
to bag when I was first learning a backhand but then put it away when I
went back to my forehand but now have pulled back out again now that I'm a
backhand dominant player is this champion Wraith. Throwing forehand they go
dead straight forever. They have a lot of glide. For a backhand I really like this
in a little bit windier situations. It's kind of like a little bit more stable
version of my Shrykes. This really also helped highlight my angles for a
backhand for the distance drives but it is a forgiving driver which is another
reason I like. It doesn't matter what nose angle or wing angle you
release it on it's still going to kind of correct and help you to go straight
which is what we all want out of a distance driver. Next disc in my bag is
my 2017 fundraiser disc. It is the Color Glow Champion Shryke. This was my first
ever Tour Series disc and when you get to pick a Tour Series disc you're very
excited so the fact that it's my first one says a lot on how much I like it. It
does have a lot more turn than my Wraith but it still has the fade at the end if
you give it the right height. You can throw it on hyzer, you can throw it as
an anhyzer and it'll hold forever and land flat. I
don't recommend it for throwing into a headwind. That's the only time that makes
it a little bit squirrely, but every other time calm wind, tailwind, crosswind
it's an excellent disc and it is probably my go-to distance driver. And
the last driver in my bag and my overstable beefcake, my Star Destroyer I
can rip on it with anhyzer and it'll hold that really long anny flight while
always crashing back at the end. You can throw it hard and flat, you can throw it
on hyzer, you can do anything with this thing and it's very very reliable. So
there are three discs that I was just introduced during this offseason that
I'm excited to be testing out and throwing and you will likely see in my
bag in the future. Just got to throw this TL3. It goes dead straight out of the
hand, I actually almost accidentally aced with it on my first throw.
It's a little bit less stable of a fairway driver. It has a tiny bit of turn,
tiny bit of fade. It's an 8-speed. It's exactly what I need. Very excited to
throw this more often. Very excited to work this into the mix and it's filling
a gap that I had in my bag. So another disc that I just got to test out
yesterday and what surprised me immensely was the Star Wombat3. Goes
on whatever line you put it on. Whether it be straight, whether it be a little
bit of an anny or a little bit of a hyzer, it just kind of holds it and
glides forever on that line. The last disc that I have been excited, I've been
testing it out in a DX plastic during the offseason is the Aviar3. I really like
it for high wind approaches. It feels really good for forehand and backhand
and I'm gonna give it a shot as being my go-to overstable approach disc. So this
is not my go-to Tour bag. This is my travel bag. I usually use the Upper Park
Shift. So I don't have all my fun knickknacks that I usually carry around
with me, but I do have a few things that I can tell you guys about. I always carry
a cellphone because i religiously take nature pictures during my entire round,
it's kind of like my Zen. I always have a bandana usually on my head but sometimes
in my hand too it's really nice for drying your hands off along with I like
to use a Whale Sac. You'll rarely ever see me without my sunglasses, the fact
that I'm not wearing them this entire video is probably pretty weird for you
guys to see what I look like. I get that a lot. I think you'll see a lot of disc
golfers with chapsticks in their bag, that's pretty common. And my favorite
thing in my bag is my mini. This is my dog
Boojee. This was given to me. I've actually had it for two years and haven't lost it
which is very impressive for minis as as many of you guys know. This is a picture
of him out on the beach and it's nice to carry it with me year-round
when I can't bring him with me on the road. I hope you guys enjoyed taking a
peek inside my bag. If you ever have a question you want to ask me what I'm
throwing feel free to shoot me a message and I'd like to keep you guys up to date.
