Distance Drivers:
Star Boss - I usually prefer champion plastic for my drivers, but the Star Boss gives me that extra bit of stability that allows for me to throw it hard and still have some good control on it. I also use this for certain sidearms and and left-handed drives.
11x Champion Firebird - The small rim and stability of the firebird makes it my favorite disc. This is the least stable FireChicken in my bag. It goes straight and far. I also use this discs for basic thumber shots 300ft and under.
CFR Glow Firebird - This is my go to disc in almost every clutch situation. I throw this disc for hyzers, s-shots, short sidearms, and a whole lot of thumbers. The "HOTLANTA" hot stamp on this disc makes it hard to find in the woods. Lots of Pros around GA and the Carolinas are tired looking for this disc in tournaments! Kevin McCoy swears I'd be lost without this gem in my bag.
Glow Fx Firebird - The most stable disc in anybodys bag. This mule turns left quick. I almost only use it for thumbers over 330ft, or if I need a thumber with a big "pan" in its flight from right to left.
Champion Sidewinder - I carry 2-3 of these ranging in stability......or lack there of in this case. i love throwing hyzer flips in the woods with the SW. It's also my favorite side arm disc. The SW also works great for short, quick flipping thumbers. it doesn't require a lot of room because of the quick flip, which makes it perfect for really tight gaps. This disc changed my disc golf game in the woods forever. I love this disc!
Fairway Drivers:
Champion Leopard - This disc goes straight! I find it like a mix of a Roc and a TL. If Barry puts his name on it must be good.
Champion TL - This is a great fairway driver that is very easy to throw. It also makes a good thumber disc when i need something in between the stability of the firebird and sidewinder.
Mid-Range:
Star Coyote - This dog flies like a faster, more understable roc. This disc seems to hold its integrity round after round. The one in my bag now is nicknamed the "Forever Coyote" due to the fact that i have never had to replace it since I started throwing it last july. I tend to lose a lot of plastic, just not this one.
DX Roc - I dont throw the Roc as most Pros out there, but I usually won't be caught without one in my bag. When things are going right and the your drivers are out of control, just throw a roc....it'll lead you home.
1st Run Champion Gator - When i gotta have stable (which seems to be often) this is my go to Mid-Range. Not to mention they also last forever!
Zephyr - She may be big and she may be slow, but she flies real nice, straight to the hole.
Putt & Approach:
Pro Rhyno - Thank you Innova for the Rhyno! I have about 10 rhynos that i cycle in and out of my bag all the time. This isn't just for putting, I throw must of my short mid range shots with this disc. It's also an awesome sidearm approach disc.
Pro Pig - This is what you get when you mix my favorite mid range(gator) and putter(rhyno) together. The pig is one pig of a disc. If I'm ever feeling off with the rhyno, the extra stability of the pig helps me simplify my putt; Putt it at the right side and watch it bank in the chains. When I get hot with the pig, it's bacon for dinner.

Most memorable event and why:
The 2009 Virginia Open. Its like disc golf heaven! Camping at The Grange for a week, and playing in 4 sanctioned events and 2 unsanctioned. The people you experience at The Grange and wonderful giving souls. God bless Mike Trapasso, because he has blessed disc golfer with The Grange.

What is you most memorable win?
The 2007 Secret Squirrel Soiree. This was my first pro win and it was at my home course Redan. Up to this point, I had played countless rounds of action against Brad Hammock here with very little success. I beat the 2 best masters players in the world at the time, Brad Hammock and Dean Tannock. I won't forget that one...

What advice can you give to beginners?
Practice doesn't alwasy make perfect, but it definitely helps. Stay strong mentally. It's an ongoing battle to not get mad and upset when bad things happen. But every stroke counts in the end, so it's important to stay strong! Practice short putts. Confidence is everything. Don't be scared to ask for advice, a lot of problems can be fixed just by having someone on the outside, it's too easy to get inside your own head when trying to fix your throw. A good way to get better is to play with better players.
