Are you Brand Loyal?

Today I was thinking about how many different Disc manufacturing companies are represented in my bag. I carry Innova, Discraft, Latitude 64, Dynamic Discs, and West Side Disc products in my bag. Now some people are super brand loyal even though they are not sponsored, which brings up the question of why so loyal to one company if they are not sending you checks in the mail, or even free plastic? I started out thinking I'm going to use one brand and learn how to throw their discs and get used to certain types of plastic. The first time I went shopping for discs I bought four Innova discs in DX plastic; Wolf,Aero putter,Viking and Destroyer. I'm not going to lie I bought three of those discs mainly for the stamps. Being an artist I find it hard to buy discs that do not have cool art on the front.Very quickly I became obsessed with disc golf and started buying discs at least once a week, online in stores, getting plastic at tournaments. I got a Z Line Buzzz and of course my mind was blown. Next I got a Diamond as my PDGA registration disc, this is the disc that gave me the ability to drive. Will forever love that disc. I now had what I thought was a lot of discs (30 or so) and all kinds of different brands. I try all kinds of plastic now but have focused the types of discs I buy. This does not include the discs I buy purely for the art of the stamp. I now have more like 100 discs in my collection and I am always looking for the that next great thrower for me. My advise is to try all kinds of brands you never know what is going to work for you.
