victorb bag for 2010 season

Teebirds back out, as much as I hate to say it they might not go back in. 11x KC Pros are just entirely too difficult to find, and the 12x and star/echostar just aren't the same. Stalkers are much easier to find, and I hate throwing OOP discs

Very slight change in the lineup. My understable stalker is probably good enough to keep the Rush out of the bag - didn't throw the rush once yesterday, instead using the understable stalker. Worked pretty well.

[victorb]

Hurt my back pretty bad last weekend...probably rolling with discs I don't have to throw so hard anymore. Going to try our OLFs for primary distance drivers. Versatility and predictability are key right now, along side a lower power requirement.

Putters will probably stay the same.

beginning of 2010

overstable

173 Z Predator (workhorse overstable)
171 Z Predator (flat top, acts like a spirit, spike hyzers/skips, etc)

fairway
172 Goldline Striker (primary control driver)
173 Opto Striker (beat, works lots of lines)
171 Opto Striker (long turnovers)
172 Champ Leopard (midrange distance on a driver line, short turnovers / rolling driver)

midranges
176 X Comet (really beat, finesse upshots and rollers)
177 X Comet (newish, low power straight shots)
174 Z Comet (worn, jack of all trades midrange)
178 Sparkle Z Comet (slow hyzer midrange)
179 FLX Drone (flick upshots, short spikes / must go left)

putters
173 CryZtal Challenger (hyzer approaches, driving putter)
