Do I really need a teebird?

[MR. WICK]

My bag is this:
D-Challenger X 2 - 174 - putting duties one beat one newish
X-Challenger - 174 - short drives and some upshots
D Wasp - 174 - newish
D Wasp - 174 - Beat
Champ Gator - 175
Tsunami - 173 - Beat to hell
Tsunami - 173 - newish
Pro Destroyer - 168 - Beat
Pro Destroyer - 169 - newish
Pro Destroyer - 169 - new
ProLine Leopard - 171 - newish
SE leopard - 172 - beat
I throw lefty backhand and can break 4bills on occasion with the destroyers. The proline leopards I have are quite stable and I can do pretty much anything with them other than throw into a headwind (maybe I just answered my own ?) my tsunami is really beat up but it doesn't glide much at all. So, do you think I need a teebird or something similar in there?

I found Tsunamis to be very close to Teebirds, except the have more movement in their flight. Especially into the wind.

So I will answer your question with another question.....

Do you play disc golf?

[MR. WICK]

Yes I play disc golf.......A LOT. And as I think about it.....I probably don't need the teebizzle.

[Timko]

Then you probably don't need it.

[JKP]

of course.. everyone does.. i just got a new one today

[black udder]

I think if you can do what it does without it, why get one. That said, I have 2 150g TBs and 1 162g one... and (believe it or not), I don't consider myself a teebird thrower... how messed up is that?

I throw about 330', maybe more with a good rip, and usually throw the beat teebird for straight shots that need a little hyzer release, the newer 150g for 300'+ shots that might have some wind or I'm going for a lot of power and the 162g for max power. I can't turn the dang thing over and if I put anhzyer on it, it just holds it in a straight line and then just fades out at the very end.

They're good for straight shots or hyzer shots. Instead of using an overstable disc, just hyzer the teebird.

It's not a must though...just works for some people, you know? People like THE CHAMP!

you need a teebird. tsunamis are cool but they have too much movement.. i consider them similar but inferior to eagle-x's.

i think you need to drop the tsunami for eagle x's and you need a teebird.

thats just me tho

Never thought of it that way. Maybee I need to try some eagles out as well and see how they compare.

[zealot]

the tsunamis have more turn tho

[MR. WICK]

the tsunamis have more turn tho

Probably why they added more of a notch and made the predator.

[adidadg]

I dont think you really need it. Players seem to use teebirds for either :

1) a dead straight driver (in DX of course)

2) a mod. overstable fairway driver (star/champion)

Your leopards should cover #1 and the broken in tsunami's #2.

If you realize that you just like teebirds better I would replace the leopards (replace w/ DX-TB) and/or tsunami (star-champ TB) instead of adding in another mold to your bag.

Many of the new 12x Champ TBs are good for straight-ahead shots, too. They are domier and have better glide than the 11x TBs, and are still resistant to turn. Look for opaque plastic and high domes.

[MR. WICK]

Yeah I deffinetly don't want to add another mold. I am going to mess around with some EX's and tb's in the next few weeks and we'll see what happens from there.

Your leopards should cover #1

most leopards will turn if you put any nuttage on them. most teebirds won't turn unless you put like 580' of power on em.
