[Help] 150-class wind fighter

[onemilemore]

I've recently gone to 150-class drivers, and I am looking for a wind fighter that will be longer than my 152 gram Star Teebird. I'd like it to be readily available, rather than a special order or OOP situation.

I think I have it narrowed down to:

DX Firebird
QOLF
RDGA Tsunami

I know Flicks come in 150, but that just sounds like uber beef. I am leaning QOLF because of the premium plastic, but if anyone can chime in with their experience I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Blizzard Ape or Air Giant?

Believe it or not i will suggest the star eagle x. or SEX. not sure if the SEX marking determines anything, but this is one of the most stable discs i have thrown. it will turn a little but it will ALWAYS come out of it in my experience.

the qolf will do great as well. the stability holds at this lighter weight.

i also had a 150 pd that was super stable for the weight i think it was p. the most stable pd i ever threw. my buddy with over 400 power ripped it 450 dead straight. he swore up and down all 150s were flippy until that throw. if i remember correctly there was a r to l crosswind too.

I should clarify: Didn't want to go above speed 10 because the fatty rims bug me. (AKA I have wimpy hands.)

Banshee. Champ ones can come in 150 Class.

11+ rims bother me too.... But I have big hands. Or at least not small.

Edit: Oh, lol, didn't see the longer than teebird part.

I, too, have small hands, but I have found that if I tuck my pinky into the palm of my hand that I can use a three finger power grip to really rip on discs with rims as wide as the Legacy Rampage, Vibram Lace, Discraft Nuke, etc. with no problem and I actually get more spin this way.

"DX Firebird"

This will work but will obviously break in fast.

I had a lightweight (upper 150s) pink p-pd that was a great windfighter. It would laugh at most headwinds as it sliced through them. Unfortunately, it also laughed at me as it flew into the lake when I tried to throw to hard and OAT'd the hell out of it :doh:

You can find 150 class champ Firechickens. That would be my suggestion.

I might have to look for some of these myself.

I have been using First Run DX Valkeries which are surprisingly stable.

Disc golf center has a few 159 champ chickens. Disc nation is showing a 158 and a 159. Marshall street has a 158 and 3 159's.

I'm trying to go in the lower 150s to keep it consistent with my other drivers, but I appreciate the help.

I was going to suggest teebird based on the title.

I was going to suggest teebird based on the title.

Kinda thinking this might be the way I have to go, based on availability in decent plastic.

150 JO Banshees are straightup beasts (hero disc)
150 FB or flick if you can find it would be fine too (prolly more of a specialty thing)

*edit
if the only real stipulation is that it needs to be longer than the TB, try maybe a bliz DS?

I use a 156g AIR "Hiiden Hirvi" (Stag) in my lightweight bag with Diamonds and AIR Saints. Flies similar lines to my 169g TP Stag in semi-stiff winds...

Teebirds are also a solid Diamond windfighting complement. Used to use a 150 class DX, Star and Champion before going all Scandinavian.

 

[stratfordwill]

Champ Banshee is a solid wind fighter at 150g. I have yet to flip it even in wenatchee winds.

I'm playing with a VIP Air Stag that's a bit longer but a bit less beefy.
