TeeBird Champion (7)

The Innova TeeBird is a stable, control-first fairway driver (7/5/0/2) and one of the most trusted point-and-shoot drivers in the sport, famously favored by 12-time world champion Ken Climo. It pairs neutral high-speed flight with strong glide and a dependable fade, producing accurate lines both upwind and downwind without surprises. Off a flat release with moderate power it tracks straight for the bulk of the flight before finishing with a measured, consistent hook for a right-hand backhand thrower. That predictability makes it equally suited to pinpoint backhand placement, controlled distance and clean sidearm work. Headwinds firm up the fade slightly while tailwinds extend the straight portion, but the overall shape stays remarkably stable. As the plastic seasons, the disc drifts toward a slight high-speed turn and a softer fade, easing into a straighter overall flight. Innova premium plastics such as Star, Champion, GStar and Halo Star hold the listed flight longest, while baseline DX and Pro season faster.

Plast: Champion: Champion is Innova's long-running premium plastic, a clear, hi-tech blend built for outstanding durability and predictable flight. Discs in this line carry a distinctive transparent appearance and tend to run a touch firmer and more overstable than the same mold in other plastics. That extra firmness is the point: in heavily wooded courses or on rugged terrain, Champion rims resist deformation from tree strikes and rocky landings far better than softer blends, which is what allows the disc to keep its molded flight shape across hundreds of throws. The plastic is the standard recommendation for professional and serious tournament players, and most Champion molds remain available for custom hot stamping. Premium plastics hold listed flight numbers far longer; baseline plastics deepen turn and soften fade within weeks.
