seasoned P-PD: straight to straight that finishes straight
seasoned Z Pred: straight with nice, predictable fade (new PDs fill this role until they get broken in)
seasoned Champ Teebird: nice s-curves, basically anything that needs less D than the PD or turnovers

Yeah I got a couple of the 12x eagle L's as well ,they feel really good, but fly a touch more stable than the 11x's

Forgot about my River. I carry a very seasoned mid 160s GL that will turn & barely come back, if at all

Lots of TL fans here. Good to see. I bought my first TL in 2006 at the am worlds flymart.(I lost my 168 seasoned teebird during a round) I threw that baby tons at worlds. It flew just like a seasoned teebird to me(but longer). Even was my winning disc in the distance competition(I think I came in 3rd) So I bought it at the end of July of 06, and then I retired it in Sept 06 when I got my second ace with it.

Bought another one online ordered a 165-169, and got the 169, of course. Weighed in at 173 actually. Threw it, never quite did what I wanted it(first one was a 166)

Back in Sept/Oct I was on another disc golf website. I was saying I wanted a Pink 165 TL. One of the guys posted that disc golf center had some. Went and picked them up(2 of them) In 6 short months I am in love all over again. That disc became my #1 driver almost immediately. Looking back, I don't know how I got by for so long without it.

Ok, sorry about the thread drift.

the birds can't be beat

For straight and turnover shots, I stick to a well-worn Star Teebird (175g) ...and I keep a 175g Champion KC Eagle in the bag for slightly more overstable shots...it tends to fade quicker and more predictably.

I actually don't love brand new Teebirds...but, once they beat in..they are money.

Straight out of the box and/or slightly beat...a TL is great too...but once it gets beat..its a different thing altogether...becomes too flippy for me...good for rollers though.

I really like Star Valkyries 175g in all stages of wear...not sure if most would consider this a Fairway driver though...but, that's where I use them the most.

I'm a big fan of Discraft plastic...but, I haven't found their answer to Innova's Teebirds and Eagles...what would that be?...Surge, Avenger?

The only fairway driver I carry is a 170g glow Z Stalker. Really straight and holds into a slight wind too. Won't skip away or fade hard. Great on a slight anny line and holds it well. Roc for anything else besides Nukes for full on drives.
