[Recommend] Convince me on Teebird alternative

[GirdleRoc]

I pretty much throw Innova discs but I am looking for a Teebird type fairway driver and I want to try a new company. I have done my research and looked at a ton of disc reviews but I haven't been convinced yet. I want something that flies straight with a reliable fade at the end.

I have an FD2 but it is too overstable. I also have a thunderbird so I am not looking for a longer Teebird.

Reviews I have looked at. Clash, Crave, Resistor, Rival, Patriot..

TLDR: I am looking for someone to convince of a Teebird "esc" disc to try from another company. I throw them around 300. Nothing OOP please.

The Rival is basically a Teebird, good disc for sure. The Resistor is much more beefy, the Crave a seasoned Teebird. Maybe check out the Servo from MVP. A little shorter, but really, a very similar disc IMO. Either that or the Volt.

I was going to suggest the Crave, but like said above, it flies more like a seasoned Teebird!

Why are you moving away from teebirds? What don't you like about them?

 

[FrontRimBanger]

Why pick one of the greatest molds Innova has ever created to switch out? Pick another disc haha nothing beats a teebird.

at that distance I'd recommend a stalker or gazelle.

Seriously. If you like a teebird, throw a teebird.

Exactly.

I throw a lot of different discs from a lot of different companies. I have many manufacturer specific bags fully loaded in addition to my primary bag. The Teebirds have a firm hold in my primary bag and their absence is felt in all of the others.

If you're really hell bent on trying something in the Teebird slot, try the Rival. It's the best alternative I've found thus far.

opto line striker. flies teebirdish enough to replace them, but has it's own nuanced flight that's worth checking out. very overlooked great disc.

Teebird. The greatest fairway driver of all time. Stop being silly.

Yup. I've tried a bunch of the clones and they legit suck next to the real thing.

A touch faster than the TB, but close enough to replace one for the other depending what you like. The striker can be worked on any line just like the TB, very mild turn and fade at 350' power. They mold up pretty consistent, but there are a couple freak runs that are OS like a Firebird, my gold line pole dance stamped being one of them.

Only way I'd think about a Teebird alternative is if I threw sidearm half the time, got around to trying a Teebird3 and it wasn't as flat or blunt as a Saint Pro. Those are just too many if's though..

Teebird lovers might be convincing me to stay. I just wanted to try a new company guys...

 

[BuzzzChief]

Rival and F2 have both been good Teebird replacements for me, in some really sweet plastic. I like Pinnacle, Icon, Legend and 400S better than anything Innova is putting out. That's the real difference.

Hard to go wrong with a Rival. Great discs.

 

[JamesXC]

Go with a Rival. I moved off of Teebirds because it got too hard to find them without plus time and went to Rivals instead. Pinnacle is the best plastic on the market as far as I am concerned. You are more or less throwing pearly 11x champ teebirds, but you don't have to pay $80-100.

I have 6 different companies in my bag. I prefer Trilogy plastic feel to Innova. I throw two Teebirds and have no desire to switch that mold.

From discs I've thrown since replacing TeeBirds, the Pinnacle Rival and Neutron Crave are closest, but neither have the HSS that TeeBirds are packing. It is kind of amazing, with all the technological advances in prototyping, that the best fairway driver was released over 15 years ago...
