    The Innova Thunderbird is said to be predictable in the wind, but not so overstable that it's hard to keep straight. If you’re looking for a consistent driving disc that is slightly faster than the TeeBird3, the Thunderbird is for you. This likely won’t be the fastest or furthest flying driver in your bag, but when it comes to a workhorse driver with the right blend of speed and reliability, the Thunderbird exceeds expectations.

    Innova says this of the Thunderbird: “The Thunderbird comes from strong bloodlines. The stability of a TeeBird with the speed of a Valkyrie; it could be best described as a seasoned Firebird, but with less fade. The Thunderbird is still predictable in the wind and a great choice for your new favorite long-range placement driver."

    My Flight Ratings: 9/4.5/0/3 Not Beginner Friendly Throwing Distance: N/A Straight Score: N/A

    First off, I really like the look of this Shimmer Star plastic. As for the flight, it's pretty overstable for me. I actually use it for more of a utility disc(thumbers & low skip shots), similar to how I use my Streamline Flare but not quite THAT stable. For context, I'm definitely no power thrower. I throw a star wraith as my max distance just slightly over 300 feet. But this thunderbird is considerably more stable than my wraith with just as much or maybe even more fade. 

    My guess is that stiffness of the shimmer star adds some stability and prevents the disc from breaking in as fast. But maybe mine is a bit of an outlier. Personally, I think I'd like to try just a normal star thunderbird, but maybe the shimmer star is perfect for those looking for a slightly more stable one.
