the bag

how do premium leos and ls's compare?

They look very similar to the untrained eye, just wondering what both would serve in your bag?

[zj1002]

the Q-Polaris LS is a stable(as in straight with a left finish) fairway driver. If I need a fwy driver to finish left, it gets used. These are from about 2003 so it is the late CEish stuff that is more stable. The Q-Polaris gets called a "baby teebird' by those that use it(kind of like a TB/EX mix).

The two do overlap on some lines but it has to do with how I need the disc to finish. Most of my drivers go straight 330+ before the fade starts to show up. The leopard finishes on the line I put it on and doesn't really fight back left unless I nose up a throw. To make things crazier I just added a seasoned CE-QJLS in the slot that the TD/OLS had occupied. It was like seeing an old friend again. longer than the Leo/LS and can work any line. I really like fairway drivers haha

11x KC - putts only
3x JK Pro Aviar - up shots, touch shots, non-traditional putts(spin, anny, anything non-push).
DX BB x2 - one trashed, one new. both throwers
12x KC - stable thrower

QMS x2 - one beat(my #1 mid), one new. both orange, stiff, opaque. my favorite QMS run
SMS - 2006 stamp, firm/stiff blend.
Q-Sentinel x2 - one heavy/stable, one light/straight(ish).

CE Leopard - my main fairway driver. flat lazers mainly
EXP1 x2 - one new, one beat
CE QJLS - hyzer flip, anhyzers, rollers.
11x FB - gotta have one

QOLS
QOLF x2 1.1 and 1.2
E* Wraith
Star Max

so yeah Roc's aren't out of the bag forever, but at least with this current lineup. I still will keep some DX in my car for courses that need the Roc. Same with the QPLS. Both discs are still in my rotation, but haven't been thrown much. I have started to see a pattern with all these discs. I haven't really changed the core of my bag aside from a few random tests(ie Warrior). I might not carry them for every course but I definitely will always have 1-2 on hand in my trunk

having to use the gritty omega 1.30's for now. trying to hoard some old omega ap's so that I can have a firmer putting. using the qmega for headwind putts because I learned yesterday that my omega ss will get beat down in the wind.

something like that

Got some sweet APs from Booter. Putted pretty solid with them for the first time today. Left the 11x's in the dust!

1.9 Omega AP 171g - putts inside 25-30 ft
1.30 Omega SS 170g - jump putts/straddle
CE Qmega 174g - touch approach shots inside 200ft. capable of all angles(surprisingly)
Sirius Omega 175g - Hyzer approves, drives off the box

QMS x2 - 1 new, 1 beat
Q-Sentinel x2(sanny) - 1 straight, 1 new
Aurora MS - trashed utility mid

QPLS - new
EXP1 x3 - 1 new, 1 straight, 1 flippy
QJLS x2 - flat clear "QJLS" run

QOLF 1.1 - stable
SOLF 1.1 - straight flips
QOLS - longer QJLS shots
Quasar x2 - big big big BH/FH hyzers

Looking to add a Sirius MS for a mid with just slight left fade, or possibly will beat up a Sirius Sentinel(will try both honestly). The beat up Aurora MS hasn't really seen much use unless I need an out shot, and I think the flippy QMS can cover it. Will probably just have it hanging around for certain courses.

I always check your updates, keep 'em coming.

I can admit this. The switch from KC's to Omega's(of all types) was harder than I thought. Throwing the Omegas is actually cleaning up my form. I was really relying on the fade of the KC's and it apparently added some torque to my putter throws. The torque still shows up in rounds, but I am learning how to throw these omegas nice and smooth. The putting transition wasn't all that hard. I had switched to more of a pitch putt(similar to Brad Williams, but not quite Nikko because I ain't that flexible) and the stiff Omegas seem to fit well with that style.

Finally got my bag set up the way I want it.

Omega AP 1.9
Omega SS 1.30
CE Qmega
Sirius Omega

QMS x2
SMS - stable MS shots
Q Sentinel x2
Sirius Sentinel

QJLS
QPLS
EXP1 1.7 x3
QOLS x2 - 175g, 170g
SOLF 1.1
QOLF 1.1
Quasar

Added the SMS and S-Sentinel. The SMS definitely has the stability I was looking for, much more than some of my new CE-QMS. I have mentioned a few times that the MD2 = MS, well in this case the SMS flies just a tick less stable than an S-MD2. The S-Sentinel is kind of excessive right now, but I am trying to beat one up so that I don't feel a big loss in my bag if I loss a beat up Sanny QSent. Added a lighter QOLS to give me a more workable OLS. The 175 still gets some nice fade coming out of a flip, so I needed something that will hold the turn all the way to ground. It is also one of the pearly QOLS, which are my favorites because the plastic is a bit firmer. I have felt some really gummy QOLS that are flippy even when new. Dropped my stable QJLS because the QPLS covered the same shot and I also had 3 EXP1's in various stages so most of my left fading fairway shots were already covered. My game has improved a lot in the last week, mainly because I am now forced to stick to one brand. I spent so much time rotating through discs that my confidence wasn't always there when I threw some of the discs. Completely confident I can pull off every shot with this lineup, especially now that I have the Quasar at my disposal.

The 30mph wind kicked my ass yesterday on putting. I am have had a really hard time using Omegas when it is windy. I don't really like the feel of Sirius or Qmegas as putters which are plenty stable for windy situations, but it is just a mental block. Having to really learn every disc, knowing that I am committed to them, has also been mentally challenging. In the past I could change up certain drivers when something was working, now I need to master them. Field work is becoming ever more important for me

[zj1002]

finally found a setup for my putters that I like

Omega AP 1.9
Omega SS no run
Omega AP 1.11 x2 - 1 turnover, 1 stable
CE Qmega
Omega Driver - flippy, trick putter

Sanny Q-Sent x2
QMS x2
SMS

QJLS - flat
CE QJLS - flippy, rollers
EXP1 x2

QOLS x2
QOLF x2
SOLF 1.1
Quasar x2

going back to the AP 1.11 was a nice change. The 1.11's have slightly concave domes, where as the Sirius is just flat. They fly more like my KC's(control/speed wise).

Also had a revelation about why I had lost accuracy and about 40 ft on my throws. I literally just dropped my forearm down an inch, rather than doing a flat pull. I had experimented with Nikko style driving, but it led to a lot of early releases because his motion is a bit circular if you get bad timing. I did learn from it that my body can create a lot more power by dropping my forearm, but still keeping my elbow out. It allowed me to lock into my lines easier and I got a ton more nose down. I had been having a lot of issues with nose up and stall outs, but this pretty much fixed it. A days of good throws with an all millennium bag was all I needed to give my full confidence to my bag
