What’s in Chris Clemons’ Bag?

Chris Clemons has made a living with his southpaw. He is one of the most dominant lefties on tour and is comfortable throwing forehands and backhands alike. It takes some quality plastic to succeed at such a level! Chris “Clemon-ade” Clemons is sponsored by Dynamic Discs (DD) which gives him access to the entire Trilogy lineup, which also includes Latitude 64 (LAT 64) and Westside Discs (WD). Keep an eye out for Clemons on tour throwing lefty bombs with some of the best hair in the game. Clemons is currently ranked 38th in the world according to UDisc and boasts a 1029 rating.

Below is a breakdown of discs in Clemons’ bag. Each disc is listed with various information and has a link to its product page on the Rogue website. The information included is the disc name, plastic-type, flight numbers, disc description from RogueDiscs.com or the manufacturer’s website, and an explanation from Clemons himself in quotes. Much of the information for this blog was gathered from Clemons’ In The Bag video.

Putters & Approach

Harp (WD – VIPX) 4 / 3 / 0 / 3 – The Harp is an overstable putt and approach disc providing you with reliable shots in any condition. For advanced players, it could be the only approach disc needed. For those newer to the game, it will be your most overstable approach disc.

“It’s really good in the wind. It’s really controllable. I use it for forehands, backhands, and whatever I need.”

Judge (DD – Classic) 2 / 4 / 0 / 1 – The Judge is a stable putter featuring an ultra-straight flight pattern. It works well for both putts and approach shots.

“This is my go-to putter. I’ve thrown a Judge for years and years, I love it.”

Midranges

Fuse (LAT 64 – Opto) 5 / 6 / -1 / 0 – The Fuse is one of the most dynamic midrange discs on the market. This disc has an understable/stable flight path and can hold lines with very minimal fade. This is a great disc for weaving through trees and obstacles.

“My least stable mid-range…I can throw it on a hyzer and it will flip up to flat and just go dead straight.”

EMAC Truth (DD – Lucid-X Glimmer) 5 / 5 / 0 / 2 – The Emac Truth is an overstable midrange designed to provide a more stable flight than the regular Truth. As Eric McCabe’s signature disc, it was designed to his specifications. It’s effective for upshots and will hold any line you throw it on.

“I just hit it super hard, super flat and it just goes dead straight.”

Verdict (DD – Lucid-X Glimmer) 5 / 4 / 0 / 3.5 – The Verdict is a very overstable midrange built to withstand lots of torque while providing
accurate and consistent flight paths. It features a flat top and finishes with a hyzer fade at the end.

“I use this if it’s a little too windy for the EMAC Truth and I need some reliable fade.”

Fairway Drivers

Felon (DD – Lucid) 9 / 3 / 0.5 / 4 – The Felon is a very overstable fairway driver that feels great in your hand with an easy release. It’s a wind-fighting driver that will continue to sail without turning over despite any windy conditions.

“I use it for anything in that 300-350 foot mark where I need to hit some good lines.”

Explorer (Lat 64 – Opto) 7 / 5 / 0 / 2 – The Explorer is a stable and versatile fairway driver that provides a clean and stable flight. It was voted 2018 Disc of the Year for its controlled glide and straight flight path, providing the accuracy players are looking for on their fairway shots.

“It’s just dead straight with a good reliable fade. It’s one of my favorite discs in my bag.”

Getaway (DD – Lucid) 9 / 5 / -0.5 / 3 – Do you love the Escape but need more stability? Look no further than the Getaway. While it shares the feel and glide of an Escape, the Getaway boasts a more predictably overstable flight with moderate fade. When straighter flights with a subtle fade are a must, trust the Getaway.

“It hits any line I throw it on. It’s awesome in the woods. It’s kind of a step up from an Explorer (in stability).”

Distance Drivers

Defender (DD – BioFuzion) 13 / 5 / 0 / 3 – The Defender is a fast and stable disc that can cut through the wind. Its predictable flight path
provides consistency which is why it’s a go-to for many professionals and amateurs alike.

“It’s just super fast and can cut through the wind. I love it for forehands specifically.”

Enforcer (DD – Fuzion) 12 / 4 / 0.5 / 4 – The Enforcer is a wide rim, high-speed driver that is an overstable complement to the Trespass. The Enforcer is reliable in windy conditions and is best suited for players with lots of power.

“It’s a wind fighter, it’s awesome, it’s trustworthy.”

War Horse (WD – VIP) 13 / 4 / 0 / 4 – Disc golfers can charge into battle with this overstable distance driver from Westside Discs, the War Horse. Combining higher speed with dependable stability, the War Horse can tackle strong winds with pinpoint precision.

“I throw this thing quite often in massive amounts of wind. It gets huge skips. I can throw it on almost any angle and it’s gonna come out of it.”
