Pro Thunderbird
$12.99
Pro Thunderbird – The Thunderbird has been an extremely well received new addition to Innova’s lineup. It was touted as the perfect in between for the ever popular TeeBird and Destroyer molds. The Thunderbird has lived up to those expectations wonderfully! 4x world champion Paul McBeth uses his Thunderbirds for many different shots and has even made it one of his signature discs. It is a very straight flyer and can handle high arm speeds with ease. Now thrown by players like Nat Sexton and Jeremy Koling, The Big Sexy tandem, it is still a highly used disc in the Innova lineup. A hybrid between a fairway and distance driver, this disc gets plenty of distance while having the control of a fairway. It bombs way further than most fairways and is generally more stable than most fairways; while at the same time it is much more controllable than a 12 speed. It is pretty glidey and sits right in between the Teebird or Eagle and the Destroyer. It is a solid disc that many players throw and lots of people bag it. We over at OTB bag the a couple Thunderbirds each and we are a big fan.
Innova says this about the mold: “The Thunderbird comes from strong bloodlines. The stability of a TeeBird with the speed of a Valkyrie; it can be described as a seasoned Firebird with less fade. The Thunderbird is predictable in wind and a great long range placement driver. Pros will appreciate the shot shaping ability of this driver while less experienced players will find a consistent, predictable flight.”
Speed 9 | Glide 5 | Turn 0 | Fade 2 |
I wanted a cheaper replacement for my lat64 gold-x explorer and even though its a 9 speed, the pro plastic thunderbird flies almost exactly the same
A little more beefy than dx but not as much as star and champion, straight with fade. OTB rocks
Fills that stable to slightly overstable control driver slot beautifully. Was actually a perfect fit for someone just starting out, and he needed it more than I did, so I had to hook him up.
Real sweet disc… only thrown once.
Was hoping for a more workable Thunderbird with this plastic but it’s still not my favorite fairway.
Favorite forehand flex disc
Lonnng flight with a strong fade at the end, I’m glad OTB carries these in lighter weights! I don’t have a strong arm and I appreciate that. I’m looking forward to the dx beating in for me as this disc is near the limit of what my arm can handle.
Right now this is in competition with my firebird in its slot. I like the firebird better but I will keep practicing
Wonderful turnover disc once beat in a little. Love it.
Excellent slightly overstable fairway driver out of the box. But expect it to beat in quickly.
Great disc. I love the feel, the flight, and the rate in which it is seasoning in. I only gave 4 stars since it did have some pretty bad flashing.
