[Innova] Should I buy a Champion or Star Firebird

[Mortis Canyon]

Hello all,

I recently lost my goto Champion Firebird by throwing it into a pond this past weekend. I do have a back up, so no big deal for that round. However, I am looking to purchase another Firebird to back up the one I'm currently throwing.

I love the Champion Firebird, but have heard good things about the Star Firebird as well. Finally my question, which one would you all prefer to have in your bag and why? I just wanted input from others before I go buy the same disc again.

Thanks all!!

I prefer Champ plastic in discs I want to stay OS like the Firebird. So i'd say get a Flat Top Champ Firebird.

I don't like.champion plastic
So for me.its star but I'm a noodles arm!!!

I carry both a flat Star and a flat Champ. My Star definitely has more glide/distance and isn't as overstable and the grip is better and it will be it over time. Champ will last forever and will hold it's stability. If I only had one; it would be a Champ. Mine will be useful till the day it's lost on the course.

I have a star in my bag right now. It's not as overstable as the champion, but it still fights wind and comes back every time.

I carry a 12x Star 172 in my bag and its kinda domey and getting beat. It's been a great disc since I bought it, but the more beat it gets its not flying as consistent so I am going to buy a new Star and I'm also tempted to try a flat Champ because of all the good things I hear.

If I had to pick one, I'd choose Star. Just because it's easier to throw.

But I doubt I could throw one any farther than my Banshee. Well. Maybe farther right (RHFH)

Do it, I threw a Star Firebird for a couple years then I switch to Champion Flat Top & haven't looked back since. You won't regret it.

Yep.

dx is the best for me

 

[Moonshine]

The answer is both. Flat top champ for utility. Star for a mean headwind driver. Profit!

 

[StarFirebird]

Pick a StarFirebird.

I carry 2, a domey champ and a newer 12x flat top. The flat top has never left my bag since day one. It is my go to utility,thumber,skip shot disc. And I love it. It depends on how stable u want it to be. The star and the softer domeier champs will fly farther though, but less stable. If I had only one it would be a 12x flat top, just a lot more versatile. I use a trident and a champ TB behind them in stability.

Like others have said, star will glide out farther before fading sharply. the champ starts it fade earlier and it is more dramatic. They're both useful, but would keep the champ if you could only have one.

 

[thugjitsu]

I've tried one of the newer flat stuff star firebirds and the plh was way higher and it was much more overstable than the flat champs. Something though about how it felt in my hand I didn't like it so I'm sticking to my flat champs.

 

[nrihan]

neither, get a Neutron Shock.

LOL LOL

Not even close.

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to buy a Champion Firebird now for a backup since I use that disc so much in a given round. After hearing the input about the glide of the Star Firebird, I'm thinking of purchasing one of them as well. That might be later down the road though....
