[Innova] Thunderbird

... Innova, could make the pro's supremely overstable...

I'd buy 10 of those

Lately the Champs have been pretty beefy, the couple of stars I've bought in the last few months have been what I know Thunderbirds to be. But in a month, Innova, could make the pro's supremely overstable... Who knows.

I picked up a 170 Champion and it was every bit as OS as my Firebirds. It has a crazy amount of dome and looks nothing like my 10 other Champ Thunderbirds.

Got our stack of Halos in yesterday. Very impressed by the look of the plastic and the texture of the star plastic but they are too stiff for my likings. Flight is on the more overstable side for thunderbirds.

Is there a run of Champion or Luster Thunderbird that has more glide than the rest? PD thrower here, but would be willing to switch if I found a Thunderbird that was straighter and would push out farther than my old SPDs.

There aren't any on infinite now, but I picked up a color glow champ a few months ago that is glidier and mellower than my star or gstar.

Also there are some gorgeous star thundies on infinite rn....I don't need another one but dang....

This is a 168-170 Star Thunderbird shot for me. Flip to flat and push forward and hold straight while still having a fade at the end.

Which one did you like throwing the most?

I have a 175 Champ Thundy, and it is just as overstable as my firebirds. Absolute meathook.

Anyone any idea about the 2020 Big Jerm Thundys? Was supply restricted due to the pandemic or was there a lack of demand or change in marketing strategy?

They sold out instantly.

The 4x champ thunderbirds I have (flattish with a nice shoulder) had a pretty good bite to start out with but are working into the straightest things in my bag. Bought in 2016.

Here's McBeth throwing one 480' on a rope:

They sold out instantly.

Any idea how many were in the run?

I think I saw them up on the Innova Pro Shop website a few times. Late summer/ early fall I guess. Something like 400-500 each time they were put up on the site, perhaps more. I was able to get a handful of them in Sept.

That's quite a dilemma.

 

[twistedraven]

I just treat my thunderbird as a teebird that fights headwind better, or one that skips a little further. It's not supposed to go as far as a destroyer, but it's also more overstable than a destroyer. It's the definition of straight to fade dependability when you don't need distance driver distance.

What's a Thunderbird have on a Teebird3? Those seem like nearly the same disc. I bag a gstar T3
