Rusty Pappas commented on AVMtnDiscMan's group Wizard Thrower Club"Started with the KC Aviar, but it just didn't sit in my hand well. Picked up a Medium Wizard about 2 months ago, and haven't looked back since.
In the bag now:
175 Medium (softer variety) for putts
170 SuperSoft for approaches and long…"

People who have given up their aviar's or other Putt and Approach Discs for the Gateway Wizard.
Rusty Pappas replied to Groovy's discussion What are these?"Cool stamps, but no way of telling what they are without either a picture of the disc's profile, or a pic of the bottom that shows the factory markings..."
Rusty Pappas replied to Terry "the Pirate" Calhoun's discussion Bacon Explosion"Nice!
I tried making Bacon Whiskey a few months ago, but apparently I didn't leave my bacon in there long enough for the whiskey to pick up any of it's flavor. It just tasted like whiskey...so still delicious :)"

In the bag...
This is bound to change, but here's what I'm throwing right now:
Distance Drivers:
172/175 First Run Champ Orcs - pearly, flat run. This is my go-to distance driver when the wind isn't howling.
171 Star Starfire - overstable distance driver...good into a wind
175 Sirius Orion LS - 1.1 run...mainly used for big turnovers and rollers, but also a good tailwind bomber
174 CE Firebird FX - favorite Firebirds EVAR!! Mine is pretty well used, but still very overstable at low speeds. Just added a new one to the bag for stronger winds.
172 Star Maxx - only goes in the bag when the wind is super nasty strong.
Fairway Drivers:
174 CE Teebird - favorite TB...perfectly flat, nicely broken-in, dead straight and very controllable
175 Fly-dye 11x Champ Teebird - has a bit more high-speed-stability than my CE
172 Millennium Polaris LS - slightly understable, great for threading a tight fairway. Can get it on the same lines as my DX Rocs, but with more distance
Mids:
175-178 "Ching" DX Rocs - I keep 3-4 in the bag at all times, in various stages of wear.
Various other DX Rocs - I have a stack at home that I rotate out depending on the course and how I'm feeling that day. Could be my b/w Big Bird Ontario one day, maybe a Sanny the next day...you never know :D
176 San Marino Q Sentinel - excellent overstable mid, perfect for shots into a wind or ones that need a strong reliable fade.
175 Champion Whippet-x - technically a fairway driver, but gets used as a VERY overstable mid...like playing disc golf with a lawn dart.
Putters:
175 Soft / Medium Wizard - my go-to putters...I typically use the Medium for all my putts and short drives, and the Soft for approaches.
175 DX XD - this one only goes in the bag occasionally...used for very touchy, soft approaches.
Distance Drivers:
172/175 First Run Champ Orcs - pearly, flat run. This is my go-to distance driver when the wind isn't howling.

Tentative 2009 Tourney Schedule
Playing in Open for the first time this past year kinda re-ignited my love for competitive play...even if I wasn't exactly competitive with all the players in my division each time :) Getting to play alongside some great golfers like Matt Orum, JD Ramirez, Chris Smith, Devan Owens, and many others this year showed me that I have a long way to go before I can make a name for myself in this sport...but I'm up for the challenge!
