Gee I dunno, teebirds are the most awesomest disc ever!!!!. Try a Rush, the one with the face ripping chimp on the cover.

oop, but x preds.. thats how I use them
A wildcat is more valk-ish than t-birdish. Thrown with enough power, it will flip, turn just a little, and then fade out.

There is no right answer here the teebird is the perfect disc at the perfect speed it cannot be duplicated.

Orc FTW. Perfect filler in between TeeBird and Wraith.

Exactly
A fast teebird......the x broken in is the most under-rated disc in the game.....

Not the Swords I have. They are a more HSS, less LSS version of my Nukes. They are absolutely perfect for extreme distance where placement is still key.
However, I have been looking into the Boatman. After today's putrid performance at a B tier tournament, I am thinking of revamping half my bag. The Rivers will stay in the bag but play a less prominent role. I do have a beat TeeBird hanging on the wall so I am leaning to putting it back in the bag.
I also have several GL Strikers but they having a little too much LSS for what I am looking for in this spot.
All statistical data I am looking at puts the Boatman is a faster lightly beaten in Star TeeBird. Yet I am still looking for actual testimonials before I leap on something I likely could not afford anyway. I want to give it a try because my Swords were one of the few bright spots of this weekend's massacre.
You contradict yourself a little in that first sentence, or maybe I'm misunderstanding something. Isn't great HSS and minimal LSS pretty much the characteristics of a TB?
I've got one Boatman I've tried (tournament as they were sold out of Opto when we ordered). That mofo is overstable, but I don't think they are all like that. It reminds me A LOT of a slightly faster PD, and the shape is very similar.

big fan of the sword ! very easy to throw ,pretty stable. not to big on the boatman but thats me!
James XC,
I'm not going to read through all the pages of this thread just to see if someone has suggested this disc. But I think a DT Diablo would be perfect for you, as long as you got it in Gateway's high end plastic (I think it's "E" plastic. Stands for Evolution or something). When I was maxing out Teebirds at 350', I was throwing Diablos as my straight distance drivers, and boy do I remember them being straight.

You caught me on not being totally clear. My main point was that the Sword is a maximum distance driver on par with the likes of my Nukes. You are right, and I apparently described it as such, the Sword has very similar characteristics of the TeeBird, but unless I am missing something in this overall thread, are we not talking about a disc that is being sought after that is longer than a TeeBird but still in the Fairway Driver category?
If so, than it is not the Sword.
If we are talking about a max driver that flies like a TeeBird, than I stand corrected with the post I quoted. The Sword is definitely a viable option.
I purchased two Tournament Boatmans today thinking they have similar statistics as the TeeBird but could take a little more power. Oh man I was wrong. When thrown with TeeBird like power and form, the Boatman flew almost identical to a Predator. I could straighten it out a little with even more power but my aim became a little unpredictable at the point. I also noticed that it was incredibly nose sensitive and loved to climb upwards.
For comparison I unretired my Star TeeBird and threw it side by side with the Boatman. There was simply no comparison. I had to muscle the Boatman to keep it relatively straight but the TeeBird was so easy, smooth, and accurately straight. I am giving up and not going to bother trying to replace the TeeBird with anything but a TeeBird.

I would say starfire or pd. Pd is better imo.
