mattw wrote:I was just wondering what type of shots make you reach for the Comet over the Fuse. Both discs are similiar so I find it interesting to see both in one bag.

Right now I've been working on my forehand game, especially for approaches and for me the comet and fuse are a good bit different when thrown FH. The comet when thrown fh is much easier to get it to fly on a nyce gradual turnover that doesn't come out whereas for me my fuse seems to be a good bit more lss when flicked. So until I either get better with my FH or my fuse loses its lss ill carry both.

As for BH its odd but my comet is actuall slightly more stable but truly not too much different than my fuse. As of now my fuse is getting most of my BH throws. If it wasn't for the different flights I get out of both discs with my FH throws I would just throw the fuse.

I know once I clean up my FH I coud prolly get the fuse to do what i want but until then they compliment each other very well and I'm also not much for mold minimalism any more.

That's a darn fine bag but I would feel at a loss without something like a Sidewinder, River, JLS, or something like that with that set up.

EagleX and Northman cover what those discs do just fine. Actually the Northman is what I wanted the River to be and more. Im anxious to see how its going to fly in six months

What in the Mahal these days. I know I carry tons of discs (definitely more than I NEED), but I throw a lot of solo rounds and casual golf with buddies so I tend to throw a lot of multiples. I could easily cut this bag in half but where is the fun in that? Also a couple of discs that come in and out depending on my mood and weather conditions (CPD2 and TD). Revisited the OLFs and I now remember again why this one one of my favorite molds. I also finally gave the 1.2's a chance (previously I would only throw 1.1's) but due to some trust in the grip issues I dropped it. Those issues are no longer a problem with the newer SOLFs, Im thinking because of the plastic. Anyway, still working on where they fit exactly in my bag BUT im thinking they will become my workhorse, especially once I learn how to range them the way I want. I have been over throwing a lot of stuff with them as of now just because of how sneaky long these can be. Also, Im giving the EagleL an run for their money to see if they will stay or if I will go back to my BEAT champ EX.

175 12x Champ EL - Pretty much same as above, figuring out where it fits
172 Star EagleX - Was my workhorse but that is taking a break to learn the OLFs

173 Opto Pain - Stable Mid, Great with Flex Shots.
176 Opto Pain - More stable than above
176 X Wasp - Beat and pretty damn awesom
168 Z Comet - I Like Comets. They are all similar but different in there own ways.

glad to see you got rid of the hornet for the pain. its an awesome mid, but my esp wasp does everything it does and i am very used to the mold... that's the only reason i dont carry mine. how are you liking the esp comets compared to the z's???

by **disc junkie** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 9:55 am

Pretty damn happy with this set up. Really the only disc that is fighting for a spot is the Quasar and so far so good. If it doesnt work out then my BEEF Destroyer will go back in. I know there is overlap but they all have their place. I play A LOT of different courses so eventually they all get used. I dont like to set my bag up for a specific course because I play too many different ones so I just set my bag up for all of them.
