Best Teebird?

I recently lost my champion teebird that I liked but didn't love, and want to replace it in my bag. I need other slower drivers to compliment my leopard. Teebird throwers, can you give me an idea of what to expect from different runs/plastic and possibly help me choose what to get?

No CE/rare stuff. I'm sure its good but I dont have $100+ to spend

I've always heard that DX teebirds are the way to go.

Discs in general tend to go from more overstable to less overstable in the order of Champion, Star, Pro, and DX. If you didn't love your Champion Teebird, you might want to try an Eagle.

Personally, God himself couldn't pry the Teebirds out of my bag, but a lot of people really like the Eagle instead. They fly differently, but are generally used for the same types of shots.

DX teebirds are really good, but in my experience, the flatter, starry, champ teebirds are perfect for me. Stay away from the plus mold unless you like the new lip on the inside.

I too have heard good things about DX teebirds, but won't throw them on the rocky desert course I play because it eats DX discs alive. I have a champ teebird myself, which as I'm sure you know throw more overstable. A start might be a nice compromise between the two if you're looking for one to get beat in and flippy sooner than a champ. If you're open to something not a teebird, a Lat64 striker is a damn good replacement. I find that I like my GL striker just a bit more than the 'bird. It's a little flippier out of the box and feels slightly faster.

I've also heard S and P-line PD's referred to as a faster teebird

If you weren't happy with the Teebird I would recommend a Lat 64 Striker. It has taken the place of my teebirds in my bags. I have only tried the GL but I have an Opto on the way to try out.

For something more readily available, DX fresh out the box flies nice. For more stability and durability I like Echo Star or GLow TeeBird.
