A DX TB might turn a bit, but shouldn't be 'turning over'. I'm not sure which you mean.

You could drop either the River or the A-SS

If you like the teebird, keep cycling them. As your current one gets more beat up, it can probably fill the same role as the river. You can cycle in a newer one for more stable flight. You also might consider getting one in premium plastic to try out.

You could use an overstable mid. Wasp or Drone are good options.

I'll second the Wasp as an O/S mid.

Also, I've found the DX Teebirds will not mask form flaws. I've had some really bad rounds when my form was off even just a little. You should consider uploading a video to be critiqued.

What would be the difference between a star Tb vs a DX TB? loss of glide at all? more stability? and my Tb right now, when it starts to turn it almost never comes back but if it doesnt turn, it has a nice fade at the end.

It sounds like the turn your seeing is from a form issue.

A star tb will have a bit less glide and will be more resistant to turn

So i should probably stick with the DX and fix my form rather than getting a Star and masking it? and how often do you guys cycle through Z Buzzz on avg if your playing 3 rounds a week.

Don't be afraid to buy a new teebird, but your statement is accurate.

If your talking heavier z buzzzes, they can retain stability for years. I don't have experience with ones as light as yours...

I threw a Z Buzzz for almost a year without any stabilty loss. You should be able throw it for a while before it's a beat-in anny mid.
