TL3 - Evolution of the TL

[ranger]

I've only thrown a gstar. How do the other plastics fly?

Any different than an eagle L?

I haven’t thrown EL’s in a long time, like 15 years... So I can’t compare them to TL3’s but I can give a stability rundown of the plastics:

Gstar TL3 is hyzer-flip to turn with a slight fade

Star TL3 is hyzer-flip to straight with slight fade

Champ TL3 is rip flat to straight with slight fade

All max weight

Thanks man

I was just looking at my extras and I have way too many teebirds and ELs. I shouldn't even be thinking about adding another but I used to enjoy throwing the gstar tl3

My favorite disc is a really old beat third for hyzerflips that barely fade, do I need a tl3? O feel like it will take forever to beat in another teebird with how overstable they mold up these days

Third=teebird

That is an issue, that you might lose that beat in Teebird, and beating in another will take time. IMHO a TL3 should get into the wheelhouse of that beat Teebird fresh out of the box or much more quickly. Try a TL3 in your favorite plastic and see how it does. At worst it's a practice disc or you can pay it forward. At best, you're gonna love it.

TL3 wasn’t even on my radar but I found some super flat pearly champion ones in a shop and had to pick one up. Looks and feels great. Don’t know where it will fit in my bag with the FD and thunderbird.

Got out and threw the tl3 today. Pretty interchangeable with my c line FD. A hair more fade and less turn. I may not end up bagging it because they are so similar. The tl3 is definitely better for forehand’s though.

Is this the pearly ones?

Ship em my way, I’ll cover full cost plus shipping. I need a consistent replacement for 2nd run FD

Yep,super pearly and somewhat soft. I'd say its probably the closest thing I've felt to a 2nd run FD tbh. Other than not being firm. The feel is reminiscent of early pearly champion blends.
