[Recommend] Looking for a TeeBird that isn't a TeeBird

[MonkeyShine]

What fairway drivers are out there, overstable like a Gazelle or a TeeBird, that will break in to a nice flip-up glidey driver for 350ish straight drives.

I love my DX circle-stamp Gazelle, but its the oop mold that I want and I don't want to pay $25 for DX.

It needs to be speed 6, 7 or 8.

I'd like something that is a faster Buzzz, or a slower PD, something that doesn't turn easily until you've broken it in good.

Something that is available in a variety of plastics. I like the Stag, but VIP and Tourney plastic are so similar, and I'd like a baseline version.

Any reviews or comments on the following would be appreciated:

Discraft XL
Discraft Stalker
Discraft Tracker
Dynamic Discs Thief (I know, its only made in one plastic so far)
Lat 64 Vision
Lat 64 River (really interested in this one, wish they'd come out with baseline plastic drivers)

Any other suggestions are welcome, like I said, I'm looking for a TeeBird, a legit fairway driver, but I don't want to get into TeeBirds, cause eventually I'm going to want to buy a $40 11x or something ridiculous, and I know there are too many modern options out there for me to get hooked on an OOP disc.

Thanks!

I really like the F3 for this slot. 750 or 400. I suggest

Haha, thanks, I actually throw this, I think of the F3 as a speed 9, though. In fact, its really close to the FL, which used to be my go-to sidearm disc. Thanks for the input!

i dont think a river is what you want. mine was already flippy without being beat in, despite being a meathook for a river i've been told.
I'm sure with the teebird and teebird3 in so many different plastics and amount of domes, you could find that teebird you want.
gstar is usually flippier.

Maybe a Legacy Rival. They come in at least 3 plastics.

Trak.

discraft Zombee or legacy patriot

Faster Buzzz is a Stalker. Really a great disc, if I didn't throw Teebirds I'd throw Stalkers probably.

 

[Streets]

Then don't buy 11x or older Teebirds and throw production ones.

Gstar/Star for less overstable, the newer run champs are the overstable jolly launcher ones. Older plastic =/= Better.

me too

much shorter than most teebirds for me but lots of control

Axiom crave or clash. Clash is a bit more overstable.

 

[HarkeyPuck]

I agree with Streets. If you want an inexpensive TeeBird. Look in the Marketplace for the newer runs. A TeeBird flies EXACTLY like a TeeBird.

The Patriot is an awesome disc.

The Teebird is not OOP. I throw Champion Teebirds. If I lose one, or need to replace one, I just go to the store and grab a new one off the shelf.

 

[Josiah]

I think he is talking about dif runs being oop like 11x, 10x etc

 

[fasteddie]

2nd Run C-line FD

FD2 C-line

both by discmania, both fly like awesome sauce teebirds.

 

[bradharris]

I understand that. My point was simply that you don't have to throw the OOP varieties. Production Teebirds are still Teebirds.

They did, it was called Test Material. The few I had broke in faster than DX
