It's literally the same shape as a Teebird in Lat plastic. It's a winner from my small experience with it. Definitely not beefy like some Teebirds, even though it had the sweeping fade of a new Teebird it had the glide of a good Teebird. Some champs I have thrown, both regular and T3 mold, are very OS where the HSS is more like a Firebird and they push into the fade very early and firmly. The Explorer wanted to glide and I look forward to trying one with the fade beaten out of it a bit. The difference is a fresh OS Teebird to me is not fun to throw...I want to beat it in until I can use it. The fresh Explorer was very usable.
Id say the same the one explorer I threw was more like a TL with a TB fade.
