    Disc Comments
    ESP Surge
    (173+)
    The ESP surge has added a solid 40 - 50 feet to my drive, and has become my go to driver in most situations. It flies true and I can count on it when need most. I can rip on it and it just flattens and always comes back.
    ESP Predator
    (174 gm)
    The ESP Pred just feels so nice in the hand. You can throw it any time, it flies the same with a wind or into it. I use mine for 300-350 foot drives into the wind and big spiked hyzers.
    Z Avenger
    (174 gm)
                       
    I like the Z Avenger for more controlled drives. I use it a lot for more long open holes where I need the big Avenger fall off, and knowing with the Z plastic I can hit some trees and the disc will still fly the same.
    Z Tracker
    (174 gm)
    Great for long straight shots. I love to rip on this and it just flattens and stays that way the whole time. I love the Tracker for tunnel shots that are too long for the Buzzz.
    X XS
    (170 - 174)
    The XS is a must in my bag as my go to for rollers and long anhyzers. I love how in never falls out of the anhyzer, and it is by far the easiest disc to control when rolling.
    In The Disc Golf Bag: Midrange
    Disc Comments
    Z Buzzz
    (178 gm)
    I believe this is the truest disc ever made, and best in the world. The Buzzz gives me the confidence to throw it anywhere from 320 feet and in with pinpoint accuracy. It's great in any type of wind and will hold any line you throw it on. Great for beginners and pros alike, and it is the most used disc in my bag.
    X Wasp
    (177+ gm)
    An excellent high speed midrange disc. I use it for long shots where I need some overstability.
    In The Disc Golf Bag: Putt and Approach
    Disc Comments
    X Challenger
    (174 gm)
    This is by far the most important disc in my bag. I just love how it feels in the hand, how it catches the chains and stick in the basket. These putters hold a true line for both putting and air shots. I carry four of them at all times .
    memorable disc golf moment
    Back to back aces during practice with the boys: it was at V.A. Barrie, and I stepped up on the tee on hole 15 for an ace... grabbed the disc out of the bucket and the stepped up on 16 with the same disc in hand and aced 16 too.
    COURSES YOU SHOULD PLAY:
    Course Comments
    V.A. Barrie
    St. Thomas, ON
    My home course, where I learned the game and play most of my casual rounds.
    Winthrop Gold
    Rock Hill, SC
    Will test every shot you have, requires control and accuracy.
    Toronto Island
    Toronto, ON
    A very challenging long course that is fun to play and has great scenery.
    Pinafore Park
    St. Thomas, ON
    This is a temp course that only goes up one weekend a year. Great park, great holes.
    Chili DGC
    Chili, NY
    Could be one of the best in the region, if the club is able to get it back in the shape it was in for the 99 Worlds.
