This is how I envision the breakdown:
Putter-ex. Aviar
Approach-ex. Dart
Mid Range-ex. Roc
Fairway-ex. Teebird
Control-ex. Thunderbird
Distance Driver- ex. Wraith
Max Distance Driver-ex. Destroyer

Forgive me if this topic has been brought up before, but, I looked through the Innova threads and the search option and don't see anything about it.

I was curious if Discraft makes a fairway driver with a similar pattern to the Thunderbird. I do carry a Thunderbird right now in Champ but I recently have been working on putting together an all Discraft bag. So, I have a gap there where I feel like a Thunderbird should go. My question is, has Discraft created a driver with little to no HST (-1%) and a similar LSF (38%) such as the Thunderbirds? If not, im curious if there is a Discraft mold and blend that beats in to a somewhat similar path. Thanks!

Came in to reinforce the Avenger suggestion. Stiff Z Avengers can be beefy as some stated, but one is a softer Z or ESP will cover that spot fine. Just depends on how much beef you want.

I don't throw discraft but recently bought the z undertaker. It is similar to the Thunderbird in my opinion.

Get a Ledgestone Tracker and beat the crap out of it.

Wow! Thanks everyone for the feedback. I didnt really intentionally set out to build a Discraft bag, it just sort of happened. As it turns out, all but a few of my utility discs are Discraft. Im really comfortable with the Z plastic lately, which brought me to my Champ Thunderbird. I realized what i was imagining... was a Thunderbird in Z plastic.

So looking at the Avenger-Thunderbird-Undertaker idea:

Seen here are the flight charts for each, highlighting the similarities between the HST and LSF of all three.

Oh and ^^this!

This is where i am right now:

Putter: Magnet
P&A: Challenger
Mid: Metor/Buzzz/Hornet
Fairway: Mantis
Control: (theres that Thunderbird gap)
Distance: Crank

 

[RomServo]

Yep.

Actualy, the Thunderbird was Innova's answer to the Avenger.

Badabing!

I think the HSS is less than they are claiming there for Z plastic. Seems more like .5 turn to me.

I respectfully disagree.

Ledgestone FLX Z Tracker ≠ Production Z Tracker.

Right on. I'll keep that in mind for sure.

The thunderbird is a copy of the Avenger.

 

[Hampstead]

Perhaps a copy in terms of speed and stability but definitely not a copy in terms of how it feels in the hand.

 

[paranoid70]

How about a Mantis?

 

[RomServo]

How about a Mantis?

You mean a mantis compared to a thunderbird? Well, a mantis should be significantly more understable than a thunderbird. I do actually carry a mantis already though. Def one of my favs. Still, looking for something with little to no turn and still a healthy fade on the mid to high 30s.

I saw alot of people bring up that the Thunderbird was an answer to the Avenger. The irony of the question is notable. I had no idea. I do carry an A-SS but have yet to try the Avenger itself. Its for sure #1 on the must try list for this spot.

The Ace Race version of the Mantis was considerably more overstable than the retooled production mold. I'm guessing that's the one he was talking about comparing.

Ooooooh... that makes sense. Again... unaware the mantis was retooled. Crazy. Ya know, if be fine with an OS mantis, if it were easily replaceable. That sounds great actually.

They weren't super popular so you should be able to pick up a stash for a decent price. The only negative is the Ti plastic they were run in is the color of lost. So odd how good the plastic is, but how awful the colors are.
