Yeah, i felt the same way (or thought that). Numbers wise, sure....looks like it, but the feel of the ThunderBird and its flight, (that I got out of it) was just awesome. It's a disc you can trust, its not too flippy, not too stable, just something you can rip and know itll go straight with a lil fade at the end. You can count on it not turning over toooo much and also count on it coming back nicely.
I'm not a big Innova pusher but this disc is $

It's always funny when Beast smacks the trolls in the face, wait was I one of them?

Too many beers last night… didn't see the L on the end of Firebird. Never thrown an "L" so can't compare.

I think he means to say he just came over it a little, not enough hyzer for that shot. Bad throw not bad discs.
Also that MVP is for 850 recs that suck at disc golf. That's what I took out of it anyways.

Sounds good - thanks for taking the time to describe. My order is slowly working its way here, but I still hope to toss Thunderbirds this weekend.

He did come over the top a bit.
I must say I had a thunderbird related crisis this AM.
I ordered one a few weeks back. I know it was in the package as I fondled it a bit when it came in. I then placed it with all of the presents to be wrapped and delivered this AM from santa. I got all my other discs, even one FROM THE SAME ORDER.....but it was nowhere to be found. No time to tear the upstairs apart yet today...but that is on the list for this weekend.
The kicker is it was a pink 165 champ....with champs harder to get and light & pink being even harder...it may be a while till I find another.
Oh well, I guess our whole upstairs needed cleaned out.

Picked myself up an innova disc for the first time in a couple years, its called a Thunderbird. Champion 173g Aqua. Has some guys name on it too "McDonald" or something like that.. must mean its better right?
Looking for something to bridge the gap between my Rivals and Outlaws.. sometimes i need a touch more distance on my rivals with similar flight and without a huge rim for more control, hoping the Thunderbird is the answer.
I hope im not disappointed.

I ordered some for that very same spot, really hope they are as nice as I hear. Let us know your thoughts on how it measures up....

I'vebeen throwing one in this same slot. For me its slotted between the teebird aandthe destroyer. Distance wise it is perfect. More importantly when its just a little too windy for the teebird headwind wise the Thunderbird works perfect.
I think a PD works in this slot as well. I just personally prefer the slightly more control a Thunderbird has over the PD. It really feels like a perfectly seasoned PD for me.
Had another great day with the Thunderbird today. It did everything I asked of it. Most of my birdies this weekend were with the bird. I always play with friends that have yet to try the Thunderbird and when they do they always get hooked. I'm thinking I like the Star and Gstar the best. Champs are good but don't seem to have the glide and I'm not sure where they will be when broken in. My Gstars have a nice turn and hearty fade and the Stars are pretty straight with a soft fade. Good combo

How can i expect my Jolly Launcher Champion Aqua 173g to fly?
It should have a little turn and a soft fade on a full power rip. Basically end up straight ahead. That's been my experience. My Gstar turns a little more but has a more pronounced fade at the end than my champ and my Star is pretty straight even with a full power throw.
not as good as a pd would
