[Jesse B 707]

Not for long. They're going to a local golfer here.

172g champ leopard (haven't used yet)
170g champ sidewinder
168g esp buzzz
182g dx roc (haven't used yet)
175g champ aviar

You need a Firebird or Predator in your back for days when it's windy. Unless you live in the wind free utopia. Other than that you have a solid starter bag.

So how would you build a 'Disc Minimalism' bag? For me I really like this approach so then I don't have to try to remember what each disc does what, but I would find it hard not wanting to try different discs.

My 2 cents: If you really want to go full into minimalism, find a stable driver and stable mid that you like and get them in at least two different plastics. As for putters, get a stable one that you like and learn how to use it on straight and turnover approach shots...use your mid when you need a really strong hyzer finish. That's only 5 discs and 3 molds.

I've done just that, but added in a few other discs.

167 P DD - Wind distance
175 C PD - Very Overstable
168 S PD - Overstable
173 S TD (stiff) - Stable Control
175 S TD (gummy) - Understable
175 S GM - Overstable Mid
178 C MD2 - Stable Mid
179 S MD2 - Neutral Mid
175 S P2 - Stable Putter (drives/approaches)
175 D P2 x4 - Putter

6 molds, 9 discs + putters. This bag works for everything I need, and nothing is truly specialized (except maybe my DD).

Hey this post literally changed my whole approach to disc. I have recently dumped out my bag, and plan on starting over the 'right' way. The only discs I kept safe from the cull were

4 - wizards, sss, ss
3 - Champion XG Rhynos
1 - Star SL
3 - Elite Z putt'r (I know this one is dumb, chalk it up to an emotional attachment)

I am a rbh thrower, though I do flick if the hole needs it. I would like to fill a few holes in my lineup, but I really want to keep my number of molds to a minimum. Could anyone please advise on

1) Midrange - Roc maybe? - I have used a shark, coyote, and spider here previously
2) Fairway Driver - Teebird or eagle? I have used the eagle, I thought it was solid but the fade was a bit heavy, I've been thinking about switching.

Discs I culled, but could save
star vulcan
champion groove X 2
Champion Boss
Champion Destroyer
Star Valkyrie
Pro Wahoo
Opto Core
Gummy Japan Open Roc
Champion Aviar
Champion Coyote
Champion Shark (gummy)
Champion Spider
Champion XD X 2

anything else you think I could use? Should I keep anymore discs from my bag? I have used high speed drivers before (boss, groove, vulcan, destroyer), but could only outrange my SL by maybe 40 feet (with the exception of the vulcan, that thing can fly)

Thanks alot

Looking at your sig. Beat in some rocs, so you have 3 that fly different. Drop the leopard, get a DX teebird and use it until it is understable. Look at adding something like a firebird or predator. Then you're good.

Love the theme of this thread.

Played 5 times a week for two years using two drivers, a midrange, and a putter. Now I use 8. Any more than that and my game actually goes downhill because I no longer know exactly what every disc will do.

Also find it funny I have about 10 friends that could beat 80% of bag carriers out there with just two discs.

the only distance driver (mold) i have in my bag is a force... i have 4 that cover all types of shots. i guess i can be proud of that for some strange reason

I am all for learning technique with basic equipment in any sport, earning better stuff after you get better. But its just so FUN to read about and throw different discs. Relatively cheap to buy a lot of variety in this sport too.

The wind is the only exception I see to having just a few discs when building technique, we had a solid month of wind here and I played with discs I thought I wouldnt grow into for years.

But wind aside, I would eventually like to be the guy strolling around on the course with two discs and showing everybody up, always been a fan of doing a lot with a little.

I always get a kick out of it when guys with huge bags, after making a bad shot, talk about if they had only brought X disc in the bag that day that wouldnt have happened etc! Like you are relying on highly trained specialized squirrels to do your dirty work, you just unleash them and watch them run the perfect line each was trained to do!
