Hey all! I’m headed to Nats this weekend and was going to try to bring a small number of throws. I’m aiming for 10 or less. What sort of strategies do you use for picking which throws to bring? I’m thinking I would bring a dedicated player for each of my preferred styles, 0A (Butterfly) 2A (720 pair), and one for 1A/5A (probs a Shooting Star, maybe a Free Solo or Fat Tire 20/20) but I’m not sure what else. Do you bring favorites to show off or leave them safely at home? Do you bring throws you’d be willing to trade or sell? ---

i think the answer is yes to all of those questions. i’d be bringing my favorites, the ones i’m always reaching for and room for some purchases ---

I’ve got a zero gravity bag that would get filled with whatever I am bringing as long as it fits it comes. ---
