Rediscovering Disc Golf

Got another Stalker to try and working in the Eze Pures was a breeze.

The Beasts, Valks and Rivers have some overlap. I carried the River as a more HSS Leopard replacement for two seasons with the Beast being the go to driver and still got overlap. Not bad and manageable. Valk in between sounds like a problem. What does the Shark do in there? Especially the Z Buzzz is a great FH disc and the softer plastics handle turning FH well. That is a lot of Pures to be carried around.

The Valk is the only one that I could get to turn over with my power range. I can get the Beast to do my main distance duties but it still has an awful lot of fade to be useable on a hole that runs to the right. The Shark is much straighter than any of my Buzzz's. The Pures are there for putting practice mostly, as I can typically take multiple attempts at the basket when I'm out on any given round. I would imagine in a tournament setting I would have two Eze and one Zero, the Zero being for upshots or thrown putts.

Got a NutSac to play/experiment with somewhere down the line. I finally got the Bolt out to respectably longer distances than the Beast, so I figured it was time to put the Force back in the bag and work it some more. I don't play open holes being from New England and all, so max D doesn't come into my game often.

Just ordered two DX Beasts to beat in to turnover/roller discs. Used the NutSac yesterday and would have cut down my strokes if it weren't for a few really sloppy double bogey holes. I felt really good about the Beast/Trident/River/Buzzz/Pure combo I had in there, although I could have done without the River on a few holes. Decided that I need to develop my forehand a ton and throw my tomahawk more with the Trident on certain approaches and short drives to the right until then.
