About the Birdie
The Birdie is a slow, straight flyer with our Thumtrac® grip
for a sure release. It has great chain catching ability.
Great for approach shots, as it flies straight and slow
start to finish. It is one of our best “go for” discs
as it doesn’t go far past the basket on misses, and
stays put when it hits the ground. A good disc for those
players making the conversion from flat edged disc sports:
Catch, Ultimate, Freestyle, etc.
About
INNOVA's DX Plastic
INNOVA’S DX Line is produced with our Deluxe plastic. The DX Line offers
the widest selection of models and weights. These discs are affordably priced
and provide an excellent grip in a variety of weather situations. DX discs wear
in with usage and over time will eventually take on new and varied flight characteristics.
Many top pros carry several DX discs of their favorite models to provide different
flight patterns for different situations. Some DX discs are available in glow-in-the-dark plastic
or with our Full Color hot stamps.
Most models are available for custom hot stamping.

I switched to
this disc from the Aviar several years ago. It is rock
solid in the wind. This is why I putt with it. I also
use it for approaches out to about 200 feet, for the
same reason (stability in wind) and because, compared
with other discs, it stays put better when it hits the
ground. Five Time Senior Grandmaster
