Preds:

Used- Green- Long Hyzer needs.
New- Lemonade -stable/spike hyzer needs
Brand new Red- Extreme headwind shots and spike hyzers. Only new Pred. The other 2 have been in the bag for a while.


Force:
Had some Force problems the last few months. I have thrown them all in the water. Here is what I have now.
First Run White-Longest flier and most understable.
ESP Green- Most used right now.
Orange Z- Working on getting it beat in, and it is starting to get better and better. These babies are pretty overstable when new.


XL
Orange - Flippy longer then buzzz shots that have to finish straight or right
XL is out for a while. I still have it if there is a perfect XL hole.

Avenger SS
Blue - Old and beat in. Roller Traded out for an Orange Z and lovng it.

Flick
Yellow - Hyzer flicks and bomb flicks. I also use it for thumbers

Stratus
Yellow - Getting out of trouble and short rollers. I doesn't get used to often, but I love when I get to throw it.

Buzzz
Blue - First Run - Flippy throw it flat and has a slight right finish
Fly-Dye - Flat and straight

Meteor
White - "Flippy Buzzz" shots and long anhyzers. These things bomb and people don't know it.

Zone
Green ESP Killer disc. I am just learning it and loving it. Easier to throw then the Drone with many of the same results.


FLX Drone
Short spike hyzers

Challengers
Putt wasn't working for a while now, so I traded out all putters. (It was probably the discs fault!)
1 Blue and 1 Orange Monkey Island D Challenger.

I think there was a time when I was carrying 27: in a smaller bag! All different molds, kinda like you have.

I'm down to about 17, sometimes less. One thing about trying different molds, you can use it to help you or it can hurt you. If you carry too many different drivers of similar stability, it can just confuse your game. And when you lose some, your bag is constantly changing. But if you try different molds, you can eventually find what works best for your game. Then you can play better with a lighter bag.

For putters, I think I've finally settled on the soft challenger as the best one for me. I do keep a couple of other putters, including a very flippy one, that can come in handy for upshots that couldn't be accomplished with any other disc.

For mids, the Buzzz is just the best out there. It doesn't need to fly high to get distance and is very controllable. For slower speeds, I like the champ Spider. For flippy, I've been working in the ESP Meteor: it is a better disc than I gave it credit for. Like the Buzzz, it can sometimes fly as far a driver (which can be good or bad).

I like mostly Innova drivers. Some good Star plastic can last a long time: Wraith, TeeRex, Max are some of my favorites. Throwing the Pro Wraith, but they don't last long, so looking for another Star. Always liked the Champ Sidewinder for tailwind distance. Trying to get a good roller back in my bag. I had an old LS and old X-Press that rolled better than any of the fast drivers I've tried since. I'm trying to get the ESP Avenger SS working.

The most useful disc in the bag has got to be the Z-Xtreme. It cancel out any headwind. Sharp skip turns, flickshots that won't flip, midrange shots that need a predictable hyzer finish... this disc delivers. If you have a big arm, this disc would seem like a must have as all other drivers just go too far for many holes. Not that I'm recommending it for just any golf shot. Other overstable discs nice to have around are the champ gator for a mid and PRO PIG for putt/ approach. These things are overstable and slow, which can be a useful combination.

:shock: Another convert!
Try a brand new X-Xpress or X- Wildcat if you continue to look for a roller.

I was just kidding. I can see that. I didn't throw the FLX that much. Mostly I throw the ESP for turnovers the Meteor won't reach and the Z for straight shots..
