I need an overstable fairway driver

[simpletwist]

A nice compliment to my Leopards. Viper maybe? Any recommendations?

How overstable are you looking for? XXX, Predator, Firebird

 

[dazedconfuzed1]

xxx is the shizzle. I have a 172 yellow GL. I got a thumber ace with it a couple of weeks ago. Forehand or backhand it is $$$$$.

I throw a 166 DX Leopard and I just bought a 165 DX Firebird. It is challenging, but really nice.

 

[simpletwist]

I've tried an xXx & Firebird. A little too overstable and much too fast for my noodling BH.

BANSHEE for overstable

Maybe a Champ TB or Eagle-X for stable to slightly OS

Are you looking for something MORE stable than a Leo or something OVERSTABLE? Take your pick there are a ton of either. But the correct answer to whatever it is you're asking is teebird.

 

[dazedconfuzed1]

How about a dx viper? I have a whole bunch of love for this disc. Teebird as another fav...how fast do you want the disc to be?

 

[pchitti]

What plastic is your leopard?

If you want something that is the same speed look at the gazelle. A little faster would be the teebird or eagle. I think the viper will be more stable than you are looking for.

leopard understable
teebird stable
firebird overstable

the 3 Innova classics. Cannot go wrong with these.

Are Leopards your primary fairway driver? Do you also carry a stable fairway driver, like the Gazelle or Teebird?

But by your comments of trying the XXX and Firebird, I'll assume you are looking for a true overstable. Consider the Whippet...it's very overstable, but it's also a speed 6, so getting it up to speed isn't all that hard.

 

[tmahan]

You need to Whippet.

Vibram Ascent is a good stable-overstable Fairway driver. Depending on the distance you need, the Hornet is a good overstable mid-range that can handle some torque.

Another emphatic vote for the Champion Banshee! I have used and loved the Banshee since the first day I threw I disc and nothing beats it for a controllable overstable driver. Get one.

A nice compliment to my Leopards. Viper maybe? Any recommendations?

I'd recommend an Eagle-X, Vibram Ascent, or Banshee.

 

[BADman]

I vote teebird. Get it in the exact same plastic and weight as you Leo.

TRACKER!

While I do love the Teebird and have several in my bag, it probably isn't what you're looking for. It is more stable than a leopard but not very overstable as far as all discs go. I carry a firebird for when I want something more stable than my teebird or am throwing into a headwind. If you want something about as fast as your leopard the champion banshee is a great choice

 

[wabrown23]

You need to Whippet.

This! in KC pro!

I found that Predators, although supposedly faster than something like a Leopard, are still pretty manageable to throw as far as overstable discs go. I will say that right now, though; I am in the midst of auditioning a C-PD and a xXx for utility overstable more than driving. I seem to be playing with the idea of more molds lately to a degree though, as my "fairways" look like this:

Pro Leo: finess shots, stop gap between mids and faster fairway, "super control driver" cheap and easy to replace

River: more of the typical understable fairway slot for me

P-PD: straighter more reliable in wind than River. Will see if stages fill in a small gap between River and C-PD

C-PD: Little more wind resistance. hoping to be more of my ESP Pred like in flight

xXx: meathook, skip shots, utility.


^ Just on tryouts. A more minimal me has gone with just the ESP Pred and the Pro Leo. Maybe a Z Pred for utility.
