    Course Comments
    Brent Hambrick
    Columbus, OH
    My home course, has a wide variety of long and technical shots.
    Moraine St. Park
    Pittsburgh, PA
    A great golf course with very few holes reachable in one shot, making accuracy off the tee very important.
    Knob Hill
    Pittsburgh, PA
    A very challenging course with lots of elevation changes.
    Whipping Post/Wood Shed
    Paw Paw, WV
    These courses will definitely challenge your scrambling abilities.
    Lake Shore Park
    Ashtabula, OH
    When the wind kicks up, as it often does, just finding a way to stop your disc on the sloping greens becomes a must.

    ESP Predator This is my main driver. It's overstability takes most variables out of play so I can throw it with confidence.
    X Predator I use this disc for most drives over 350 feet. It has a very predictable flight path and can handle the extra speed for the longer throws.
    ESP Surge
    A less stable disc with a lot of glide making it perfect for longer distance. I also use it for drives that need to go straight without a lot of effort.
    X Avenger
    I like this disc for longer throws that need to go straight without lots of power, and for controlled anhyzers.
    Z Flick
    Very fast and very overstable. I use the Flick for most forehand shots and for backhand shots that must go left. It's my go-to disc for spike hyzers.
    In The Disc Golf Bag: Midrange
    Disc Comments
    ESP Buzzz
    A very straight flying disc on those longer throws, and a very controllable midrange disc.
    X Buzzz
    It simply does whatever you want it to do.

    Disc Comments
    X Challenger
    I probably use this disc more than any other on holes under 300 feet. I can make it go straight, go left, go right... and it never gets overpowered.
    Soft APX
    This disc will hold a straight line or anhyzer better than any disc I've ever thrown.
    D Challenger
    I use this disc on almost every straight shot under 350 ft. It is very predictable. I also use it as my putter.
