Does anyone not throw Thunderbirds longer than Teebirds? A typical Champ Thunderbird is longer than an overstable Teebird for me (Thunderbird has more glide, more speed, but also a little more turn and a bigger sweeping fade) but I still think that mellow Teebirds like beat Star or Gstar are longer and straighter than the Thunderbird...but won't handle wind as well. Of course if I want a left finish at close to that range or to hold a hyzer then the Thunderbird is the answer.
Or do Thunderbirds need to be beat for a while to really mellow out the fade for them to get as long as people claim ("near distance driver distance").
For my arm (maxing out a bit under 400 feet on the course), I don't bag both Thunderbirds and Teebirds because there is too much overlap. The Thunderbird gets me the same distance with a little less effort and on a little lower, more penetrating lines than a Teebird which is why I prefer it. I still bag a TL on certain courses for straighter to turnover lines in that range though because I don't have a Thunderbird beat in enough not to fade out.
Very impressed on power forehand tunnels too...holds straight for a very long time and doesn't fade aggressively.
So many discs are fun to thrown in the open but not super useful on the course (like high speed high turn discs). This one is the opposite for me I think...just predictable straight with some finish, not super long, but it will go somewhere. I could see it being a lot of fun for big arms though.
severely disappointed with the Thunderbird.
the hss is never consistent when a cross wind happens its like this disc get mad flippy or does wonky crap.
the lss on low lines seem to be ok, but disc is never consistent.
tb3 should of been the Thunderbird imo. this disc is garbage.

And I love my thunderbird, but I'm not going to use it as a wind fighter at all. I have firebirds and OS destroyers for that
No one who throws well would ever use this mold. Certainly no pros bag them...
This is clearly the best criteria for choosing a good disc for anyone's bag. :| Suppose you just replaced your Monster with a FD3?
