The Fairway Driver (or FD) is set to be released in the early part of 2012. It will also be know as the Jackal, and will be a slightly understable fairway driver.

Things I know:
* It's been described to me as a faster Teebird by someone who has thrown it.
* It does not have the TL or EL bottom.

Let the speculation begin!

How can it be slightly understable but throw like a faster teebird?

 

[Timko]

I don't know. I'm hoping to get some more intel soon. Personally, I don't think you can't use those 2 terms together. But with limited information at the moment, I'll just repeat whatever is shown my way.

Luckily it's pretty easy to make a great fairway driver. Discmaniacs will scoop this thing up like crazy whether it's TB stable, TL stable, Leo stable, or anything between. They're squeezing it into a pretty small gap, but if they release it in P as well as S and C plastic it will be one of the few 16-20mm rimmed drivers available in those 3. I know there is a constant outcry for more fairway drivers in P/Pro plastic. In any event, I'm interested.

I would be pretty happy if it was like a leo/RR hybrid.

There hasn't really been a speed 7-8 understable control driver, this could fill the slot.

EDIT: Well, maybe the River...

True, but a seasoned TL does what you tell it to.

Me: TL, turn right.

TL: Okay!

See what I mean?

ADVERTISED vs WHAT WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE SAY ABOUT EVERY NEW FASTER STABLE DISC OR FASTER FAIRWAY DRIVER

[Frank Delicious]

I will throw this disc just so I can say I threw an FD. Then I will giggle.

I was assuming he was saying a control driver as understable as the river, which in my experience (I have throw three different opto rivers) are about the same as a TL, except less predictable

Wouldn't a "faster teebird" equate to "Not a fairway driver"?

The speed of fairway drivers has slowly and subtly been redefined as distance drivers get faster.
