There is a consistency gap, but I think it goes in the opposite direction of what you're thinking.

Back on topic:

2 Destroyers
2 SOLFs
2 Valkyries
3 Predators
1 Teebird
2 Eagle-Xs
1 Gator
4 Rocs
4 Wizards

Will probably sub out the Destroyers for Halos if I can hand pick some with the characteristics that I like (~170g, moderate and consistent dome that connects to the rim smoothly).

I have 3 175 Eco Star destroyers all in different states of wear. One is really flippy, one in the middle and one is pretty overstable. I have two 175 champ destroyers that to honest with you are in my bag because they are bright orange and very easy to see. There are few holes on our courses that are very easy to lose plastic in the grass (long bunch grass)on. One of the destroyers is very beat up for champ and the other is fairly new. My 175 xcalibur is my most overstable driver and I use it for 375-400 foot outside hyzers and strong headwinds.

The CE gator in my opinion is the most predictable midrange I've ever thrown. It's also great for sidearm approaches where you've got room to outside. I have a second because I throw it on any hole I might have a chance of losing or damaging my CE (one of courses has holes on a fairly nasty cliff face and the rest of the course is very sharp rock all around).

My pig is used mainly for flick approaches and headwind putting and my rhyno for approach shots where I'm not 100% comfortable with my aviar. The rhyno and putter do cross over a bit but I've got for it in the bag so why not.

As for left to right I'll usually throw a sidearm or force a turnover (which I know is bad technique). We used to have thick wooded courses here but then this nasty bug called the pine beetle devistated our courses. 90% of the trees died and it open for hyzers on 75% of the holes. I'm trying to force myself to throw more turnovers and straight shots in prep for my week in Oregon in May, but it's hard when up and right gets you there on almost every hole.

Also while I'm not him, and it's not an excuse when I played with Feldberg he had 11 destroyers and 3 xcaliburs in his bag lol. Also the 9 rocs and 6 eagles. That's a tad overboard. Maybe. But he throws most of them.

I do carry 20 discs but only 13 different molds, I have duplicates for slightly different shots and better gripping plastic duplicates for those wet or cold days. The point is I know what all of my discs do very well. I used to carry 30 discs and knew about 6 of them well, but after a couple of tips from my favorite pro (Chris Waugh, who's rated 1007 now, way to go REDFIVE!) and some field testing I have really learned each and every disc I throw.

I got a little ribbing there for my 5 destroyers but you get it with all your bosses. They're all different.

I think going above 3 of any disc in your bag is a bit much. I can understand three different weights, conditions and runs but 5 or 6 of anything is a bit much. Also I think people use too many big overstable drivers in their collection like the Boss, Force, Destroyer, Xcal, etc. and don't have as much understable/stable discs and fairway stuff like your TeeBird, Eagle, Leopard, Xl, etc. style discs. People have fallen in love with speed 12+

It was something about uniting all the workers in the world. Unfortunately, the powers that are always have been willing to break out the Pinkertons, the states' militias, and historically, even the powers of Rome. Today they'd surely go as far as the full forces of the War on Terror to keep safe the bosses' interests. Though, I firmly love the concept of the Wobblies, the time for any chance of success seems to have passed. I will join my brothers and sisters and await the rewards state corporatism has for all of us. We will see what they'll do with their victory over the Red Menace.

Or, maybe you meant wobbly discs?
