Yes. I used to have the same problem, as my disc collection grew so did the number of molds that made it into my bag. Here is an article that helped me out quite a bit:

172 ESP Venom- Helix/ Primary forehand driver
170 ESP Force- Currently swimming

175 ESP Cyclone- Uber useful fairway driver
175 Elite Z Stalker- Straight/tunnel shots
165 11X Firebird- Overhand/hyzer/forehand utility disc
150 ESP Flick- Primary overhand disc

Max ESP Buzzz- Speaks for itself
Max ESP Meteor- Turnover/tunnel shots
Gummy Pro line Spider- For upshots or drives that the Buzzz or Meteor might overshoot.
Pro D Magnet- Anhyzer approach/putts
Pro D Challenger- Primary putter/ short drives and approach shots.

Star Wraith
Opto Halo
Star SL
Z Avenger SS
FLX Surge SS

5 under
Star Sidewinder
Star Roadrunner
Champ Sidewinder
Champ Monarch
Goldline Vision

5 mid/utility

Z Buzzz
FLX Buzzz
Pro-D Buzzz
Cryztal Buzzz SS
Blowfly

3 putters
DX XD
SuperSoft Warlock
SRP Rock-It

Please let us know if we are on the right step

i would recommend something lighter for a driver (for her)... and something faster (hmmmm... probably a 150g star valk this was my go-to driver until just recently when i made the step up to a boss, but i still throw that in a 150as well... ) ... she might also have a lot of luck with a leopard for a solid, straight down the middle kind of driver, won't get you much distance, tho, but in the beginning that's fine... and then every girl needs a 150 sidewinder, i prefer mine in the champion plastic, but i know some ladies that like the star... i have friends that swear by their skeeters, but in my opinion the aviar is the best way to go for a putter... glad y'all're gettin' out on the course...

peace threw disc golf,

I agree with the Leopard idea. Set those Roadrunners aside for now on concentrate on throwing flat, straight, and accurate. Move to a faster disc once you're hitting fairways with consistency. If you're relatively new, you may not be seeing a big distance difference between your mids and drivers anyway.
