Closest shipping disc to 11x CAL TB

[rlw911]

Anyone have suggestions on new discs that have similar flight characteristics and plastic feel to 11x CAL teebird? Haven't seen or thrown one of the totem TBs yet so maybe that is the answer but previous 12x were not. I've stuck to a small number of molds and manufacturers to this point. Any lat, Westside, legacy, MVP, etc disc that may fit the bill?

I feel like a river would serve your purpose pretty well, or wait for the westside stag. The river wot be like the 11x TB straight away but once it gets beaten in about half way it will be

A totem Teebird would be close a river would not be close at all. I've heard talk of the new champ Teebirds being flat and kind of stiff like the totems.

You can find some flat glow teebirds on discgolfvalues that I think are about as close as you get to that stable flight path. May be a little more OS from the gate, but break in well.

The Legacy Rival is the best Teebird I never had. I've never had a pre 12x champ Teebird but I've heard others make the comparison to earlier TB molds.

The Rival is a bit slower but similar flight patterns. It flies more like a 5.5-6, and the TB is a 7. So you lose a bit of distance but not much.

Yes the rival is definitely your best shot for a disc that isn't named TeeBird for sure. Btw it has a speed 8 rim.

Rival. Very close in flight and feel to my 11x CAL Teebird.

 

[CrowLegs]

I am no TeeBird expert, but I have a totem TB that is pretty domey and is very overstable for me.

I found an older DX at PIAS (stamp has bird with spread wings) that was flat and had a great feeling plastic. That disc is great! Very straight and long. I'd love to find more that fly like that.

Nothing else in my bag compares: GL River, Amp, Trak, S-FD. All of those have a bit of OS to them, but this simple $5 DX TeeBird blows them all away.

I honestly notice no difference aside from the way the disc feels betweeny river and my 11x teebird

the river is nose angle sensitive, way more glidely a lot less HSS and even more less LSS. It is nothing like a teebird let alone the more overstable 11x variety

 

[MrGlass01]

i agree most rivers are no where close to a teebird of any variety expecially stable 11x. But i had a pink gold line river a couple years ago that was way more stable than any teebird i have thrown. I forgot how stable it was and its sitting in a pond in MN because of the super fade. I think super stable rivers are all but gone now and i would not know how to begin to look for one like the pig i had.

There are some Rivers out there that might do, but most are appropriately understable. Totem TBs are overstable, but they could, in theory, be flattened and abused into flying straighter. The plastic is nice on those.

Someone in the FD thread said the flatter C-FDs are 11x Cal TB-esque. I just got a couple hoping they would have good HSS but be less overstable than most of my TB's. I've never thrown an 11x, nor have I had a chance to throw these C-FDs, so a great lot of help I am!

 

[SteezeOG]

My flat pinnacle rival actually holds up better in wind and is more stable than my 11x TB. Of course the bird has been beat in and passed around for years. It gets more glide and distance too. I'm not sure why but the Rival is a little blunter on the rim and doesn't fly as far for me. Great fairway though.

 

[Alcuin]

My vote is for a flat totem Teebird (or a stock TB just like it, though I've not seen these on the shelves yet).

My two blue totems are as flat as an 11x--I've compared one side by side with a friend's 11x so I know the domes are pretty much the same. It's more overstable than my Star TBs, but it flies just as straight and will fade a few feet (like 10-15) earlier.

They are great discs if you can get a hold of one. I'm sure Innova will be molding up some stock stamp TBs in this plastic if they haven't already. It's the same plastic, though maybe a little stiffer, as the production Terns and Roc3s.

 

[rusch_bag]

Teebirds like 11x are still out there. I got a bunch of the flat glow from disc golf values and they fly similar. I also picked up a stack of 5 flatter x-out teebirds from PIAS so I am set for awhile. It took me a years of searching to find them though.

 

[jrawk]

concur with the Legacy Pinnacle Rival recommendation. You won't notice much difference in flight.

 

[1978]

get a CFR glow eagle any year 2011-2013 disc golf values, done.

Thread = full of fail.

yeah i was going to say what weight because max weight is mini firebird. i always like a 168 one and it wore in nicely. wish i never sold that one.

sorry i'm no help a stalker is actually a nice slower disc to take its place...less of a lazer shot but still works nice if you don't need the distance of teebird

i'm going to say just get a starfire...old pearlys are just as nice and 1/4 the price....but par with stalker or something slower.
