These discs have vary similar flight numbers. How do they compare from your experience?
 
Posted already in another thread but I'll do it here as well.

Since the FD2 is a little bit slower it is more predictable but in the same time a bit shorter. Stability is pretty much the same. Biggest difference is the feel in the hand - for me at least. I do like both discs but the feel and the added predictability makes the FD2 a better option for me.
 
I get similar distances and flights out of my Champ Teebird and C-Line FD2. I prefer the shape and feel of the FD2 a bit more than the Teebird, but both are great.
 
When thrown powered down the FD2 has a nice fade and when thrown at full power you can get a very straight shot much like a champion Teebird. I would say although the teebird flies a little farther I found the fd2 to be a lot straighter which is what I needed. I am able to keep a much lower shot with my FD2 than I ever was able to with a teebird. When thrown in the wind the it holds up well and doesn't seem to "dance" as much. The FD2 can really be nice a nice bridge between your mid ranges and speed 9+ drivers.

In short the FD2 is more stable and has less glide in my opinion. I think both discs could live harmoniously in the bag.
 
I was throwing these both side by side today and I still find them quite similar. The FD2 is just a little bit less glidey with a harder dump at the end. The both land within 10 feet of each other though.
