DX Teebird help

[JSurmann]

It looks like the weight is ONE cause of the problem. I also suggest a 170ish teebird in any plastic.

Light discs are quite flippy.

Good luck.

My 176 Z Buzzz flies pretty straight for most of the flight on a flat throw with little fade at the end.

I had an older DX Teebird (170g) that was my go to straight/tunnel shot disc. Unfourtunately lost it, bought what I thought was an identical disc to replace it. Not even close. The older Teebird was flat on top, the newer one was a domey turnover machine. The older one I got used in a trade, so I don't know if it was originally flat. I have noticed all Teebirds are pretty domey. I now have an FLX Surge that is super flat that has taken the place of the old Teebird in my bag. It flies just about identical to the old Teebird, even able to throw the same down hill laser shot into a head wind. Did they make two different DX Teebirds?

They made googolplex different dx tee birds. Every disc is different. Throw it to see what it does. Write on it in permanent marker so you remember.

because i dont want to open another thread about the same disc (okay mines a champion but thats not what im concerned about) im going to ask another question here. Whenever i throw my teebird, often times it will get its usual hyzer yet the second it hits the ground it skips but it will skip way off to the left. Im not entirely sure why it does this, it may have to do with my grip and or release, but if anyone has a similar effect, or a solution, do you think you could share that knowledge with me?

Having discs that skip can be a great benefit, you just need to plan for it to skip. Either release more to the right, or throw a different disc. Just about any stable/overstable disc will skip when it lands after a hyzer. There's a hole at Portage Lakes DGC that a lot of people try for a skip ace. It's pretty wide open with low hanging trees surrounding the basket. Behind the basket is the park road which is o.b. I only try for the skip ace if I'm playing doubles, too easy to go o.b.

DX 'Birds are the sheez knees. I made the mistake of buying a beat in Star one thanks to the beauty that is my DX, and the Star one I have is only good for 180' hard left turning holes (but holy crap it's a gem in that one situation). It's like throwing a Drone on a hyzer line. But the DX I have flies long and straight with just enough fade... Unless I sidearm it... In which case it flips over, goes left, and never returns .

I have the exact same problem! My DX Teebird flies straight as an arrow so I figured I'd pick up a Star one and the two couldn't be more different. The star one makes some hard left turns when thrown the same as the DX. Next time, I'll just stick with the DX.
