Innova
SKU: DG-INV-CHID-FRBRD (REF1567-20)
Description
The Innova Champion I-Dye Firebird fairway driver is Innova's most popular upwind driver, molded in Champion I-Dye plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on headwind drives and forehands. If you're shopping for a dependable Firebird for your bag, this Champion I-Dye run is a great place to start.
Champion I-Dye Plastic
Champion is a hi-tech plastic with outstanding performance and durability, distinguished by a beautiful clear appearance. Designed for professional players, Champion discs are usually a little firmer and more stable than the same model in other plastics, and they keep performing predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic, even on wooded or rugged courses. I-Dye discs add colorful, unique dye designs, so no two look alike.
The Mold
The Firebird is an overstable driver that works extremely well into a headwind, and it's Innova's most popular upwind distance driver.
Stability
The Firebird is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
