I'm Replacing My Teebirds...

[@curtisridenour]

My champ teebird is pushing 12 years now. Potentially the greatest disc ever made.

[@BryceRogers_]

These days’ runs do not glide as much as the old ones tho. It’s a pity

[@curtisridenour]

@@BryceRogers_ yeah i can throw this one on a rope. My newish star Teebird3 is a meathook.

[@jgcalc]

Hands down

[@redsleaves]

Discmania is slowly taking over my bag. Excited for the S-line FD1. The Horizon is great.

[@LlamasDG]

I use two Legacy Rivals in icon plastic one flat top and one that has more dome in addition to a broken in Evader in Licid plastic.

[@leonfazzio]

Eagles never die! Lol. I have 3 in different plastics and weights, such a good workhorse that’s easy to find imo

[@DylanKowalski123]

I love the patriot it Flys like a beat in teebird. So I bag one to compliment a fresh teebird

[@BryceRogers_]

Facts!!

[@dancannaday4135]

Gotta shout out the mega classic DGA Pipeline in SP plastic. Can't even begin to describe how good that disc feels and how well it beats in.

[@stefandomagalski3722]

I've got two in prolink and one in sp. I LOVE me some DGA Pipeline! For me the prolink is more of a straight flyer while the sp is a bit more overstable. I absolutely love the Pipeline!

[@focuspplfocus3795]

I switched teebirds out for the lat 64 explorer. Love that disc so far!

[@JCL-di4pq]

I have a very beat up TeeBird3 that i LOVE. It goes very straight for 300 and has a little fade at the end. My backup for that is a brand new Aura Votum. It flies exactly like a very beat in Teebird3 if you ever need a replacement for that flight.

[@BryceRogers_]

This!!! The Aura Votum is perfect for that flight

[@xDadx69]

Want to put an argument in for the MVP Volt. Pretty overstable in most plastics but in the Fission plastic it pushes really far before fading and beats in relatively quickly to get some good turn. Been working on several Volts into my teebird slot because its easier to find flat Volts and they’re consistently stable to overstable.

[@BryceRogers_]

Volt is goated. I currently have a proton one in my bag. They’re so reliable and they gradually wear in

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

I LOVE my nuetron volt. My tee-bird fits the longer pushing fade shot. My volt doesnt push much in the end, it reliable as can be. I throw 140's and 150's fission in my insanity and Tesla. The insanity is nuts to control, but so magic when right. I bag a plasma insanity 170's and its the safer of the two, but not as fun.

[@IceBergTV]

you should def try a lucid ait evader. They go super far, hold turn longer but still have a super consistent fade! Would like to see you throw max weight evader vs lightweight. I have a feeling the lightweight will make your bag

[@memikecraig]

My first throw with the Sky Walker FD1 was on a vacation a few weeks ago. I had the pleasure of throwing Wild Berry Fields in Door County Wisconsin. First hole is a perfect forehand shot just under 300ft. I purchased the new FD1's (C Line and Horizon at the time) hoping they will be reliable forehand discs just like the 3 tooled mold produced by Innova. The Sky Walker did not disappoint. First shot out of the car, parked with the Sky Walker. Snagged a few backups as well as the new S Line and I feel that between the 3 plastics this disc comes in, I can cover most shots in my bag between 300-350.

[@Van_bya_river]

The sky walker kicked my star tee bird out of my bag pretty quickly.

[@FCdrums]

If you could even get your hands on the Drew Gibson Phantom Warriors, those are pretty damn stable. I've bagged one for a year, still stable.

[@bgul4000]

I found a flat top plasma crave that fits my straight to fade fairway slot. Not sure what I will do if I lose it though.

[@choirboy93]

Been tempted to try the S-line FD1 but I’ve been running Clash Cookies and love them. Feel so smooth and good and very reliable.

[@BryceRogers_]

My friend throws a Cookie in the Sunny plastic and man it’s sooo smooth. It’s really knifey tho, and doesn’t glide long like the ones he’s reviewing in this video

[@BATAngTABA]

Cookie gang cookie gang

[@cs2097]

I just found a Rival and am waiting for the owner to call me back so I can return it. But I through it around a little bit before I left the course and it is DEAD STRAIGHT. I also have an Instinct which I like but I do find I can turn it over fairly easy. Not this Rival though it can take power and just go straight. Def a disc I'll be adding to my bag

[@johnsanders5160]

The skywalker is so good. Love the dead straight with the reliable fade at the end.

[@CasualRelief]

When the AB teebird3s are gone this will be the likely replacement for me.

[@TRUSTintheSAVIOR]

You've changed man. I trusted you!!! Anything but the teebird.

[@Cristopher1976]

This is essentially how I became a discmaniac. One mold got me. Then I started looking at the new discmania made plastics. Now it's all I bag.

[@southtoe3607]

You always say your flick is trash but it always looks good to me And that's coming from a flicker of Heats

[@serenityinsilence]

My stable fairway driver is the discmania magician. It’s rated at 6/4/0/2 and It works well for my arm speed. It has a nice flat flight with a reliable finish. A beat in magician does get a mild mid flight turn, but always fades out at the end. I’m in the neighborhood of 275-300 ft of distance for reference.

[@metalisit]

I really like the Explorer and the Cookie.

[@BryceRogers_]

Yeah I was thinking the Explorer and the Glory should be compared here. I personally don’t like the dome on the explorer

[@Carback27]

The Athena for that slot, all day.

[@andrewjung6987]

Skywalker and Athena for me. Beat in Athena for the longer anny turnovers, skywalker for the extra fade

[@tikimurtaugh4919]

Try the mint disc grackle. It's better than the 3 disc you used in the video

[@remmer3380]

The Best compliment to the crave is a servo 😏 and resistors

[@neverlayup]

I still feel like MVP needs a 7 speed that is less stable then a volt but more stable then a servo. A beat in volt is almost there but not quite imo.

[@remmer3380]

@@neverlayup yea. The volt is an MVP mold that doesn't have an Axiom 'less stable' counterpart. Tesla/insanity, resistor/servo/crave really covers any shot shape I could ever hope to throw in that 300-400ft range. But if you're a volt thrower, looking for something that feels like a volt... Yea you're SOL.

[@BryceRogers_]

@@neverlayupmy solution: get an electron volt. I’m not joking

[@neverlayup]

@@BryceRogers_ ok I will have to try that

[@jonc9922]

Rival and stork for that slot for me. X plastic explorers work also.

[@SixSided]

Ive been slowly switching my bag over from innova to clash because I love the plastic. Cookie is a good teebird

[@Timberius]

Have a flake champ Teebird, and what I dislike is it tends to gain in altitude when thrown harder. Tried a friend's lucid Explorer, and it flew very level, which is what I needed for a shot. So I'll be switching to the Explorer. I wish I could try a ton of discs before I pick one, but when I see one that works, I'll get that and not risk buying the unknown and be disappointed.

[@cameroncochran9405]

TSA Votums would be a great disc to try too. The new JP Aura run is very straight.

[@youreatowel1103]

Proctor Panda Votum are incredible discs. Forehand, backhand, love it. TSA is working it's way into my bag with every release I get my hands on. Pathfinder, mana, Votum, mantra, Omen.

[@jacobjones1774]

The rival is the 11 time teebird mold. Steve rico bought the mold from innova

[@Tsxtasy1]

Same, I went to a Halo TB3. Flies the same at 400’ as the Star TB does at 300’

[@CatchMeOutside361]

Mint Alpha. Look no further. Pick your plastic for stability. And I love my CRAVE!

[@benharrison5816]

Lost my C-Line FD, but I wasn't too mad, it was really overstable, and I already have an old Axiom Clash that flies very similar. I'm tryna throw my 7-speeds on like 350ft holes low ceiling tunnel shots dead straight and it's not helpful when the disc skips hard left into dense trees. I ordered a River so I'm hoping I can hyzer flip that, maybe I shoulda gone with the Crave. I only got so much money!

[@drm-]

I love the Mint Alpha in that slot

[@emilkihlberg4236]

how is the durability of DM's new plastic, are they similar to star or more like gold ?

[@flipflat4814]

Replace Tee-birds 😆😂💀 many have tried but always come back! The Tee-bird will be back in your bag by the end of the 2024 season. No one escapes the power of the Tee-bird, mwahahaha, mwahahaha 🤣

[@backhanddaddy]

I tried to escape but in the end came back as well. You just can't beat it

[@billherrera6386]

Huge fan of S Line plastic. Typically S line is a little more understable. If I didnt love my Crave, I would throw an FD and FD1. As forehand dominant, the Crave is my one stop shop.

[@drewg3087]

Crave Proton FH is where its at.

[@billherrera6386]

@@drewg3087 I have a Cosmic Neutron that is my first disc and first Ace disc.

[@BryceRogers_]

The Crave is money all around. I also throw it in Proton

[@ReeRuns]

I thought for sure you'd be replacing them.. with new teebirds

[@CasualRelief]

I'm a teebird3 fanatic but recently I got my hands on a Clash Lotus, it's a larger diameter disc but has a very long strait flight, and might replace my beat up teebird3. Something about the large diameter that I like a lot, it's stable and smooth. Maybe a little slower, but went further 🤷‍♀

[@CasualRelief]

I'd love to see your take/explanation of the difference between normal diameter vs larger diameter discs.

[@Mikenewton4l]

I had an old PFN star teebird that I was afraid to lose. I put the new cicada in its place and it’s great.

[@JonnyEsports]

Votum gang reporting in. I love that my Glow, Ethos, and James Proctor Aura are essentially 3 different discs. Glow being really overstable, Ethos being stable, and the James Proctor Aura being a little flippy. If I needed to live with just 3 discs and a putter I could do that.

[@chrishess3413]

Absolutely love the votum and the pathfinder. But where did you get a glow one?

[@JonnyEsports]

@chrishess3413 actually got gifted one, ended up losing that one in water but I loved it so much I scoured the internet to get a new one. Unfortunately, not currently in print so you either need to get lucky or find one second hand. Hopefully they'll do a stock run of glow votums again soon because it's one of TSA's best.

[@ronbaughman3982]

Have you tried the Infinite Halo S blend Centurion?? Great fairway driver!!

[@andrewbell_dg]

I threw teebirds my entire career then I found my millennium Velas

[@akkadian1995]

Teebird 3 is so good but I find I don’t throw it much compared to the Instinct. I’m also now loving the FD1 maybe replacing the Instinct.

[@BryceRogers_]

What plastic do you have all these in? I have been looking for a disc to extend my Instinct slot. I have a Neo Instinct which is reliable for a straight, flat line and a lot of fade at the end. Problem is that it doesn’t glide enough.

[@akkadian1995]

@@BryceRogers_ I use “forged” instincts that are a little more stable than neo but hard to find more. Horizon FDs work well.

[@natemaas1982]

Shoulda had the neutron volt in that group.

[@joeydupont7664]

I’ve found some success with a vulture. Ik it’s a 10 speed, but i find I have a lot of control with it, and also I have the plus of mashing it upwards of 350

[@eli14eli14]

You should check out the Vanguard instead of the FD1. If you wanted something less than a 9 speed, but want something more stable than the standard S-line FD which is dead straight, then the Ella Hanson Showstopper Fd's are a tad more stable and fall perfectly between FD s line stock and the s line Vanguard which is 9502

[@ilikesnow]

Was curious what you thought of the new DD. It seems to be a good amateur distance option maybe?

[@johnsanders5160]

The dd is good. It's like a beat in wraith with a lot of glide.

[@justinpk422]

I switched to Teebird 3 in star and champ, I use one of each, they are much more reliably OS compared to original Teebirds and my star plastic is beating in to be a hyzer disc.

[@DiscGolfDemastus]

I have the Founder’s Brazos from Lone Star and dude… it’s my workhorse!

[@jasonlane74]

This video is absolute heresy!! 😉

[@thomaswalker2537]

FD1 for the win. I love my c-line FD1 it such a beast. The FD is my go to straight to under stable fairways if you can find a metal flake FD they are money

[@elliotmcconnell5449]

I have a legacy discs rival. Great disc.

[@BryceRogers_]

Buddy bags it in the Pinnacle plastic. He’s in love with it. It feels hella nice, and he gets mad distance

[@jakemiller270]

I have a glow ice passion for this slot with stock runs of passion to fill out the stability range. I don't like the hand feel of traditional 7502 molds after I bagged the explorer and realized I avoided throwing it since it felt so weird.

[@boydw1]

An RPM Tara Iti might be worth a look.

[@Dafunkyjunky870]

The Votum is amazing btw. You should give it a try

[@r3db34rd8]

I’m on the Athena train. I’ve been throwing the proto since it launched. Stable and consistent.

[@MonkeysFightingRobots]

[@jiles12]

Team Votum reporting for duty

[@BryceRogers_]

Thing about the votum, it’s not really a 3 fade. But the flight numbers it actually shows are money. I’d put it at 7 6 -0.5 2

[@JoshJackson13]

I picked up a dx thunderbird dx beast and aviar 3 years ago and I've had 5 dx thunderbirds since about to buy another. They fly very similar to the crave but 50 ft further. Can't 4hand it tho. Tb3 doesn't 4hand good for me either. Crave 4hands good but my new insanity 4hands perfect.

[@JoshJackson13]

I 4got ur in the wind. No wind here except in spring. Evader just feels to domey to me

[@discgolfwes]

Banzai is a great choice too!

[@johnshepherd6925]

I have a Patrick Brown Aztec Serpent Badger by Legacy Discs. It's the most overstable mid I've ever thrown. It might only come out of the bag once a round, but man, it's nice when you need the stability. It's what I imagine might be the Tilt of mids 😂

[@OkieTradez]

my Glow Teebird is overstable so i know after it beats in should beat into perfectly stable with glide for days!

[@zachw4829]

The Athena is my new favorite disc

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

Love the vids! You kind of rock around a bit when seated. Makes me think ya gotta pee... My champ glo t-bird fits the stable slot, after my KaxeZ, which is after my crave. Love me some mid range for my wooded courses.

[@daniellarrabee9741]

I'm right there with you on that, love the fd and fd1s, these new runs are perfect

[@ddctv2617]

[@jonathonmyers1587]

Teebird and Teebird3 are not the same, just similar. I get a full 40 ft+ more with a Teebird3 than I do with a Teebird (same weight, same plastic ... 360ft vs 320ft for my top-end distance ... avg for each 340 vs 310).

[@BryceRogers_]

My top 5 underrated brands: Legacy, Clash, DGA, Gateway, Thoughtspace Man I have been contemplating this slot lately. I found my favorite workable “beat in Teebird disc” in the Millennium JLS. Seriously underrated disc. Currently bag a pink Neo Instinct for the OS slot, which is stiff on the rim and I find that I have to power up a LOT just to get the distance I want out of an OS 7 Speed. I need something that glides easier and still fades heavy at the end. I’m contemplating these molds: - Athena - Glory - Terra - Saint Pro - Eagle / Exodus

[@rrydkvist7790]

Dont look over the explorer, the different plastics makes it amazing.. I have a dead straight Recycled Explorer, a gold orbit Explorer a little overstable and a ricky Opto-X as a beefcake
