Firebird Thread

[Fighter]

I searched 3 times (enough for me) couldn't find a dedicated thread.



Wondering what people love best about these discs. Runs, plastics, shot types, you name it. A home for those who salivate over delicious firechickens!

Have

CE FX 172
FT 12x run 168
FT 12x run 175

Love them all for every kind of shot except straight and long.

Also, noticed the CE FX leading edge seems half as thick as the newer 12x flat top runs. Only one?

I've got a domey 12x and an uberflat 12x, both champ. It blows my mind how different these discs are.

The flattop is crazy OS. I like it for those low burners that hit and skip/skid HARD around the corner. It's so OS, and my form on overheads is so terrible, that I can't get it to roll all the way over on a thumber.

Keep up the good work.

What's with all this misguided love for short meathook discs? Ever hear of release angles...and windless days? I refuse to throw a disc that wants to hit a player upside the head on the hole next to me.

Release angles are what it is all about. Firebirds are the ultimate utility discs. Flex shots, thumbers, tomahawks, FH rollers, spike hyzers, scoobies, etc. I have at least 2 FXs in my bag at all times.

might as well throw in a pic for color....

Not all Firebirds are ultimate meathooks. I like having one that is somewhere between the coveted uber-flat O/S, and an FL-like flight. Will probably start carrying two in the bag now that my star is getting very worn in.
