thinking of replacing my star teebird with a dx

[mattw]

I loved DX Teebirds the other plastic types never flew the same. The only problem I have had is the current run of DX is pretty soft. I am use to DX beating in and looking ugly. Which has always been a good thing when cycling DX. The new DX didnt realy beat in for me. It would get chunks and big gouges taken out of the disc. I ended up switching to a QJLS instead. Not as long as a Teebird for me but the loss in distance was minimal.

I think we can find many more argument in favor of DX, but longevity is not one. Glide, breaks in faster (which is nice when disc rotating - multiple flights, one mold...), cheaper...

I disagree. One thing you will find is that different speed innova discs have variable duribality depending on disc speed. The one speed that seems to work great for D plastic is fairway drivers. Tee birds in d plastic do not break in as drasticly as other Dx discs. I have drilled close trees ten times with a Dx tee bird and have noticed no denting.

I agree with this as it relates to older DX. I bought 2 DX Teebirds last year that were made out of absolute sh!t plastic. I'm used to my DX mids and fairways beating in slowly, but these two were loosing signigicant chunks right away.

I love DX!
