Fairway Driver Lineup

[BrotherDave]

eagle, banshee, leopard. i carry a teebird too, but that and the eagle are my main drivers.

-Banshee
-Eagle X
-Leopard

Booyakasha. Eagle and Leo with the Banshee thrown sparingly for OH and spike hyzers cuz it's a meathook.

The XXX and River are 7 speed drivers, just like the Teebird.

The Predator is a 9 speed driver. I agree that it's not a fairway driver.

I would call 6 and 7 speed drivers: fairway drivers.

The speed thing came from the wing size of the drivers, for example the Teebird has a 1.7 cm rim thickness making it a speed 7 driver. The River (and Banshee) is a 1.8 cm (speed 8) and the xXx is actually a 2.0 cm making it a speed 10. Keep in mind these numbers come from the PDGA Approved Discs pdf and may be subject to error but AFAIK this is the least subjective way to assign a "speed" to a disc.

Personally, I consider speed 9 the distance driver threshold but that's really relative too.

So surprisingly, the simple fact that you don't consider a Teebird a fairway driver doesn't change the fact that it is one.

The TB is the only constant in my driver lineup. I throw.

156g KC Pro(straight, fade)
172g 12x (headwind)

The under stable slot seems to change by the week. I have 2 TM Rivers in the bag that may earn a spot. If I need a straight shot with no fade, I'll typically go to my Axis, even though I can only get around 220' from it,

I've experimented with Fd, Leo, banshee, XML, glide, and probably a few others.

XML? You experimented on the course with a data formatting language?

And he withdrew his TeeBird statement later in the thread.

Touché, sir. That M sneaked its way in somehow...

This^. The River also is larger in diameter. It has a ton of glide that gives it even more distance than the teebird for me.

Fairway Drivers:
Star Leopard
S-FD Jackal
Z Stalker
Ti Stalker

Sometimes in place of a true fairway driver, I use a Buzzz, in either Ti, ESP, or Z. Same for Buzzz SS.

 

[atvan]

Champ Leo
Beat ESP Buzzz (also used for midrange duties, but I drive it like a driver more often, plus it is pretty fast for a mid)
Champ Teebird
Z Predator

Nice spectrum of both stability and speed. When I'm unsure what to throw, I throw the Buzzz.

 

[Midnightbiker]

I carry a Z Stalker, and thats it. It works for me, and does what I ask of it, and will hold just about any line since its broken in.

Don't feel the need for any more fairway drivers

 

[BudB]

Champ Teebird
MJLS
Champ Leopard

 

[BrotherDave]

^Do you find the MJLS and Ch. Leo overlapping at all?

Post and discuss your fairway driver lineup.

Oh, and for argument's sake, I don't consider TeeBirds fairway drivers.

well I don't carry any fairway drivers then! (unless the TD counts, but it's pretty fast)

4 teebirds:
1 champ
1 star
2 dx, one new and one beat
