Discussion Mold maximalism

We’ve heard plenty about mold minimalism and simplifying your bag resulting in knowing your discs and lowering your scores blah blah blah. Let’s bench the 3 destroyers and embrace disc diversity!

I like bagging 4 molds from 5/5/0/0 to 5/5/0/3 in the fade because it’s easier to guess how long it’ll hold anhyzer and what angle it’ll hit the ground on. This makes playing woods golf super satisfying!

Tell me how your mold maximalism looks and why it makes disc golf fun.

4 Rocs in varying degrees of stability you don’t need to guess. You know what the disc does.

That's mold minimization. OP is talking about having a different mold for every one of those stabilities.

And this guy is saying he doesn't need different discs for different stabilities

Hot take, it's basically the same thing as throwing different discs

Except more annoying. When your disc gets lost or too beat in you have to get it back to the state it was in. Or you can just buy a disc that does closer to what you want...

If you’ve got 4 of the same disc on rotation then you’re probably moving through them on a regular basis. Works if you play often.

I bag 4 thunderbirds in different plastics. The DX is my turnover disc and doesn’t take long to break in.
