I've been messing with Thunderbirds in multiple plastics, PDs in a couple, a Fortress and a Culverin. So far, the one I grab the most is my Halloween Thunderbird. It's not as OS as the stock run Star, yet still gives me that nice fade at the end when I need it. PDs are on the shelf-I hate the top. Culverin, eh I just don't know yet. My Fortress needs some decent wind in my face to be useful, and we just haven't had a windy summer down here.
:hfive: A 2015 Halloween Star Thunderbird has been my go-to fairway for quite a while now. Great flight and distance potential, good wind fighting ability, and very reliable. I should pick up another couple of them while they're still around.
I was just out this morning throwing temp holes on a course I'm playing a tournament at this weekend, and brought along several worked in Teebirds. I'm glad I did because they were the right choice for several shots. Basically, I can get a similar distance to my Thunderbird, maybe not quite as far, but with a much straighter line. I don't have a Thunderbird beat in enough to do that dead straight shot. I can make my Thunderbird fly straighter if I really power up on it, but then it's going closer to 400 feet than 350 and the extra power required makes my throw a little less reliable.
