I think you gcould even go with an EXP1 and get a longer flight than the Banshee. They are pratically the same disc but the EXP1 is faster.

Pretty much everyone has been spot-on.
Faster=Star Max. You are not turning this thing.
Love my MVP Shock (2nd run)
Firebird is a great choice. Get a Star FB.
ESP Pred will also fit what you want.

Honestly for me, I used to flick a pred but a 10x kc pro eagle goes farther for forehands for me than any of the above. I flick it flat and it holds for a long ways and hooks up good at the end of flight. I know its only a 7 speed but more glide than a banshee so it doesnt wanna cut as early, same problem with the firebird no glide.

Firebird not having glide a problem? The Firebird isn't a disc for distance lines, it's for utility shots & for shots that need to go hard left (RHBH).

Pre-Flight number Champ Firebird is what you're looking for. Doesn't have as high of HSS as the new 12x. It's my fab sidearm disc besides an Eagle or PD2.

I would bet a flat star starfire would be just what you're looking for. Mine goes straight for a long time then has a healthy fade at the end similar to my pre flight # banshees.

IMO the PD is better than the Starfire, they are both similar discs & the OP already said he didn't like the PD, so I doubt he'd like a Starfire.
My Champ Banshee and Star Firebird are pretty similar, but if you're anti-FB? The Pred is pretty much a Firebird with a different stamp on it, so you might have the same problem with it. You could always do a Teebird too, but that's the same speed... I'd throw in my vote for the FL. The Star FL I've thrown is a touch less stable than my FB. Not sure if that's common or not, but that's my experience.

Try a prodigy F2....or a lighter F1. The F1 is almost a firebird and the F2 is just like a banshee or over stable teebird. I don't think you would be disappointed.

Firebird... then TeeRex... then Xcaliber... then Ape
I disagree. A PD is a lot easier to turn FH, more distancey, than a flat Starfire.
It's worth a shot but I like the Pred/Tsunami recommendation the most. Maybe a GL xXx?

Similar in flight.. Sure, but not exactly the same. the pd goes further with a little less fade. starfire slows and hooks hard, similar to how a banshee acts. The flat starfire and pd have a totally different feel in the hand. I'd still suggest giving it a shot. You can find x-outs for really cheap which makes them easy to try without spending a bunch of cash.

The fl suggestions are also a good idea. Loved my glow when I had it.

I just got an XXX, I am digging it. Wider diameter than a Fbird or a Banshee

I used to use a Monster and a Banshee for this. I know looking at the numbers that a Monster has a good bit more stability than a banshee, but a star monster will beat into what I think you are looking for. no high speed turn and plenty of fade at the end. The one I that I threw had much more glide than a firebird as well.
