Dynamic Discs Only Bag

For the limited number of discs they have, and the sheer quality of the available discs, I'd say that Dynamic Discs has the highest quality discs. The Nice thing about throwing a DD only bag is that I got to take every mold they currently manufacture with me. In fact, I had to throw a few extra discs in my Fossa Disc Golf Backpack just to take up some of the space so that my discs would stand up vertical.

Nearly every disc in the Dynamic line is quality, and something I'd consider using. The Justice, is my personal favorite disc, and one that cannot currently be replaced by anything made by any other brand.

The only shortcoming that the limited Dynamic line has for me is an understable midrange, but that will likely be alleviated this week with the release of the Evidence in the Trilogy Challenge. If I had waited one more week, my Dynamic bag would have been almost perfect. The reality is though that I rarely use understable mids, and the Lucid Truth worked adequately enough for my needs.

Initially I struggled putting with the Judge. It's a little more shallow than the Money putter I'm used too, and I couldn't get it right. Once I switched the the beadless soft Warden, my putting was acceptable. Even with the higher than normal amount of missed putts, my average DD only rounds at the Fairgrounds crushed my average rounds with every other brand. I averaged a 56.8 with Dynamic, which even bested my Discraft results.



Besides the awesomeness of the Justice, one of the main reasons I scored best with DD is the Witness. This understable driver worked flawlessly for me as I drove on hole #1 at the fairgrounds. It turned sufficiently for me, but always came back nicely making the mando while giving me excellent distance to set up my second shot.  I birdied hole 1 four of my 5 rounds thanks to this great driver.

Another disc that soon became my favorite is the Breakout. This is a light weight "understable easy to use" disc that does an amazing job holding any line. The light weight straight flying abilities of this disc gave me easy distance and excellent control. I think I threw the Beakout better than I do other discs because I was able to focus on smooth control rather than power. This disc flys effortlessly. Because I liked the Breakout so much, I rarely even pulled out the Thief, which is another disc I actually like.

The Truth is a super solid midrange I found myself reaching for on all my mid distance drives, and for most of my midrange backhand throws. The Suspect is a disc I carry in my normal bag anyways, and is ideal for straighter forehand approach shots, and short backhand drives that need to finish left. The Trespass wasn't quite as consistent as I would have liked, but I was able to get some bombing distance out of forehand drives with it. I found myself flicking the Trespass in many instances where I would normally throw backhand because I was able to get better distance out of the Trespass.

For backhand distance, both the Renegade and Freedom excel for me. At speed 11 and slightly understable, the Renegade is one that I definitely feel comfortable throwing. Even as a speed 14 the Freedom is understable enough for slower arm speed like mine.

The only other area where I felt want of another brand was with forehand throws. The Felon is an adequate flat top overstable driver, but I just found it a little bit harder to control than my MVP resister and Discraft Flick. If I had to use only the Felon, I could survive, but there are other drivers I would prefer.

I rarely ever pulled the Enforcer, Verdict, or Fugitive out of my bag. The Enforcer is plenty beefy, but is too domey for my likes as a forehand driver. This is a disc that I'd probably only use in monster headwinds, but the rounds I played were always moderately calm wind conditions.  With the Justice, there really just isn't much reason to throw the Verdict. It is another disc that would likely come in very handy on very windy days.

If I had to throw only Dynamic Discs, I would be very content with my disc golf lot.
