I've only thrown a gstar. How do the other plastics fly?
Any different than an eagle L?
My favorite disc is a really old beat third for hyzerflips that barely fade, do I need a tl3? O feel like it will take forever to beat in another teebird with how overstable they mold up these days
Got out and threw the tl3 today. Pretty interchangeable with my c line FD. A hair more fade and less turn. I may not end up bagging it because they are so similar. The tl3 is definitely better for forehand's though.
Is this the pearly ones?
Ship em my way, I'll cover full cost plus shipping. I need a consistent replacement for 2nd run FD

Question, Did they ever make a GLOW TL3? Or a White Star TL3? I only use white drivers in the summer and looking for a really nice straight fairway disc.
I have a Glow Champ TL, but dunno about a Glow TL3. I have a White Star TL3 (no, I'm not giving it up, so sorry), so they're out there...
Cool. No worries I'm not that in need of more discs. How does the Champ Glow TL compare to the Star TL3?
I really never thought this day would come. I've been throwing Eagles since I started playing disc golf 4 years ago. They have always been my favorite discs and I never thought I would replace them. Well, late last year, I noticed that my Eagles were fading too hard at the end of their flights - especially on wooded courses which my home courses are mostly wooded. Because of this, I decided to mess around with a different fairway that offered a straighter flight with less fade. After some research and reading through threads I decided to start with the TL3.
I picked up a used star and factory second star and g-star TL3s. I didn't love any of them at first. I couldn't get them to be consistent in their flights. However, over the last few months, I've come to absolutely LOVE them. So much so that on wooded courses I leave all my Eagles out of the bag and use the star and g-star TL3 to devastating effect. What I found with the TL3 is that I don't need the power that I do with my set of Eagles. In fact, I back off from throwing about 80% to somewhere around 70% or so. This allows me to aim and hit small gaps easier and more consistently than I was used to with the Eagles. I'm still learning all the angles with the g-star TL3 but it can go dead straight, small turn to small fade, slight turnover to small fade, turnover to the ground, sweeping anny - I have not thrown one fairway that can fly as many different lines as well as this g-star TL3 can. The star TL3 offers more stability so I can throw a slight hyzer line that punches forward and then offers a solid but very controllable fade. I've also found that the star TL3 does in a 10-15 MPH headwind what the g-star TL3 does in the woods - which is anything except hyzer lines.
So this post got very long but suffice it to say I've fallen in love with the TL3. I'm bagging 2 (star and g-star) and on open courses I'm supplementing it with a newer star Eagle for harder hyzer lines and stronger headwinds for which I don't want to step up to a Firebird (basically only on more open courses). Excited to play the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons with this lineup.:thmbup:

The Star TL3 is a super under rated disc. It has been my favorite fairway since it came out. I feel like it would be more popular if it had a unique name.
Don't know if you know this but the Infinite Discs Exodus is the Eagle-L mold. If you were looking for an eagle that doesnt fade as hard. Sorry to complicate your disc search.
