Distance Drivers:
Wraith: Champion - Best driver out there. I keep three in the bag. I feel I get the most distance out of a light weight turn over Wraith shot.
Sidewinder: Champion - Turns over predictably. I also use it for tomahawks. Monarch: Champion – Holds a long range gentle anhyzer.
Destroyer: Champion - Finishes stable, no worries about it flipping over and not returning. Star SL – I use this for my backhand drives, they keep a better line for me than a Wraith which I often turn over during a backhand drive. The SL has great glide too.
CFR XCaliber – For strong head winds.
Fairway Drivers:
Leopard: Champion - Short anhyzer shots. Always holds the line.
Banshee: Champion - One that I throw is so beat in that I think of it more as my Teebird. It stays straight and helps me to not over throw shorter holes.
Banshee: Champion - My other Banshee is a true Banshee. It will finish stable; it’s great for midrange hyzer shots.
Mid-Range:
Gator: Champion - Best over stable Mid-Range disc. Most predictable disc in my bag, never lets me down.
Roc: Champion - Short straight shots with a little bit of stability at the end.
Roc: DX - Mine is fairly light and beat in. It holds whatever line I put it on. I ask for a moment of silence for blue ice bowl roc that sits at the bottom of a lake in Georgia.
Putt & Approach:
JK Pro Aviar - Is there any other putter?
Pro Pig – Great mini Gator. More for up-shots than actual putts though.

Advice: Absolutely learn how to throw backhand and sidearm. You need both to reach the next level of your game. Also when you are working on your weaker throw, focus on accuracy first and distance second.
Additional comments: I would like to thank my friend Jenn Smith for first introducing me to the game, John Nisewonder for giving me the confidence that I could actually compete in tournaments, and my parents for watching whenever they can.
