In The Bag:
E Wizard - For controlled approaches and short drives. M Wizard - I carry two or three of these for inside the 10m circle putts. S Wizard - For 10 to 20 meter jump putts. E Demon - A great over stable mid range disc. E Element - Slightly under stable mid range that is great for tunnel shots. E Element X - A stable mid range that is comparable to Innovas Roc. E Blaze - A over stable driver that is very consistant in all wind conditions. E Sabre - A stable control driver that can reach holes that are just outside of the elements range. E Spirit - A over stable driver that is great for spike hyzer shots. E Illusion - A long range control driver, it is slightly over stable but when you throw a flex shot it gets some good controlled D. S Illusion - Gets slightly more under stable than the E illusion after continued use. Raging Inferno - Great for ultra long range shots in most wind conditions. Inferno - Great for ultra long rang tail wind drives.
Strengths:
Off the Tee, and jump putting from 10 - 20m.
Training:
Try to get three or more rounds in during the week. Weekends I always try to find a tourney to compete in.
Player Advice :
"Support your local disc golf clubs and play in as many tournies as you can."

I play to win, I think anyone else who also has that goal in mind would be a great player to model after.
Personal Disc Golf Goals:
To one day become world champion.
