                    How Do You Sort Your Bag?



Kat Mertsch was asked this question in a Q&A  session.   [0]  Her
answer (by speed first and stability second) is probably how most
players do it. If you look at  the  usual  bag  style,  then  the
putters  are  in the top pouch for easiest access. Mids, fairways
and distantance drivers are in the main space. And utility discs,
like  the  most  overstable discs or roller discs are in the side
pockets.  The front flap pocket either holds the most  overstable
discs  or  the approach discs or driving putter. This seems to be
the usual order for the standard bag style.

But how do I do it? Now is the first time I actually think  about
that, although, of course, I do have some system.


Let's start with the quick rounds when I carry  my  discs  in  my
hand.  Then I usually stack by speed: putting putter (P3) on top,
then approach disc (Zone), then driver (Valkyrie  or  Teebird  or
OLF  or  Eagle  or ...). If I play with a midrange (Roc3), then I
tend to put the mid lowest, because it is larger than drivers and
putters,  which  makes  the stack strange when the smaller driver
sits under the larger midrange.

If I play with two discs only, then I carry one in each hand, for
balance.


Now to the bag. Usually I carry only 5-9 discs with me:

- P3 (2)
- Zone
- (Roc3)
- (Comet)
- Teebird
- Valkyrie
- OLF
- (Eagle/Banshee)
- (Felon)

All of the discs go into the main compartment, which  also  holds
clothes and my water bottle, thus the discs only take up one half
of it.

I like to have the discs I use most on the end of the discs stack
that's in the middle of the bag, and the rarely used discs on the
other end, which is at the side of the bag.

Hence, if I carry midranges, they usually are on the outer end. I
use  them  rarely,  and  because they are larger the don't fit as
well with the other discs.

If I bag the Felon or a pure backup  disc  (here  Eagle/Banshee),
then they go towards the outer end as well.

The other discs are mainly ordered by speed and usage  frequency,
which  matches  rather  well. From the inside out: First putters,
then the approach disc, then my main drivers, then the  auxillary
drivers then the midranges.


Generally, my bag is much too small and simple  to  give  a  good
answer  to  that question, or the other way round: this questions
assumes a situation that does not exist in my case. My bag is  so
small  and simple. Each disc is a different mold. Each disc has a
different color.

It simply does not matter how my bag is sorted,  as  I  instantly
know  which  disc I want to throw, without looking at my bag. And
when I look at my bag, I instantly see which disc is which.  It's
all  obvious.  I  simply don't have the problem of having to sort
discs. :-)
