Tee Bird vs Tee Bird Plus

[Jasonasseln]

First of all what is the difference between the 2 and does one give any advantage over the next. I use them for thumbers and fairways

Teebirds are my distance driver disc. I've never thumbed them before either lol.

I think the Teebird + has a different rim, but I've never felt one or bothered reading up on them, as I have a stockpile of my throwers.

TB+ has a slightly slanted inner rim, similar to a lot of Lat. 64 discs but not as much. One of the runs of TB+'s came out crazy overstable but I can't remember which. Other than that, they fly pretty much the same. I'd probably prefer the original TB if I was going OH with it.

nice

Awesome, that didnt help at all.

What do you mean didn't help?

It's so much nicer than going out and saying throw the damn discs and you tell us.

Awesome, that didnt help at all.

I kept reading the same things people are saying here, took me a while holding them up and comparing them to each other to finally figure out what part is slanted. The inner rim where your fingers would rest when gripping the disc is slanted in pretty good towards the flight plate.

I have a well used KC 12x TB, and a almost new Japan Open TB+. I haven't thrown the TB+ as much yet, but it seems significantly more overstable. Not sure if the TB+ just needs some beating in, or if thats just the way it is.

You may get more input in the main Equipment section...

For me, my 2 teebird +'s were more stable than slightly aged star firebirds. If I wanted that flight pattern I woudl carry a whippet, which I do! I gave them away as CTP's after a week of throwing them.

EVERONES ARM ARE DIFFERENT

Ya'll are funny everyone throws differently with different arm speeds and distance so what one says it does it probabbly doesn't do it for the other the best thing to do is see what works for your game plain and simple

I've been tempted to buy a TB+ but having felt one at a recent tournament, I don't like the slanted underside on the rim. With my weenie size hands, I've had grip slip issues with a Lat 64 Core and I fear a Teebird + is going to be more of the same. That being said, I could see where someone with bigger hands and a stronger arm might prefer it over the traditional TB.
