Any 150 class Teebird throwers out there? What's the preferred non-DX plastic (i.e. champ or star) in such a low weight? Or is it like every other champ v. star thread - six of one and a half dozen of the other?
Those look like the new champion blend, if so you may have discovered what is going to be the best stock teebirds to come out in a while.
They are the new champ blend. Its very similar to the totem plastic we got. However, it feels a bit different. The totems feel a little beefier in the hand and out of the 7 I got, only one was close to this flat. So its stiff and clear like the totems but flat as well. I'm pretty stoked about them. Now I just gotta get some more extra shifts at work to replenish my disc money. That all flew out the window with these.
How can you tell this by feel?

My guess is the plastic that was used and cooling process is what contributes to the feel. The only way I know to describe it is some just feel thicker. I have 20 something teebirds and some just feel that way. Stars are particularly less beefy feeling than champs for instance. Atleast the ones I have, and I have some champs that are less beefy feeling as well. This doesnt necessarily have to with the flight though. Less beefy feeling ones can fly beefy. Its just how they feel in the hand.
Wouldn't let me edit but here is a slightly better pic. . .

So I went into a shop yesterday without meaning to really spend any money and came upon 5 beautiful birds. I bought my first couple of 11x recently and I swear these are stupid close in flight and feel to the 11x. There were a bunch of new run birds in the shop and some were the usual domey mess, but these five were all flat, stiff, and high plh! I bought two and went to the field to throw them with the 11x. They were so similar I went back and got the three others. x_x Maybe nice birds won't be so hard to find in the foreseeable future.
The left is an 11x and right is one the new runs.http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=29754&stc=1&d=1350314596
