TeeBird3

The Innova TeeBird3 is a versatile straight-to-overstable fairway driver that is designed to fly like a slightly faster TeeBird. In terms of flight, they are remarkably similar to the TeeBird, just with slightly less glide. For slower arms they are reliably overstable, whereas advanced players will see a straighter flight. The main difference between the TeeBird and TeeBird3 is in hand feel, as the TeeBird3 is typically flatter than the TeeBird and has a slightly wider rim. The TeeBird was approved in 1999 and proceeded to become a bestseller for Innova, and one of the most popular discs among pros at the time. Naturally, then, Innova decided to make a 3-version of the TeeBird (specifically the X-mold of the TeeBird, as opposed to the L-mold now named the TL), and the TeeBird3 was born in 2014, though it was not PDGA-approved until 2017. It was faster, flatter, and more torque-resistant than the original, and since its release has matched, if not eclipsed, the popularity of its predecessor. Along with the TL and TL3, the TeeBird3 owes much of its success to the TeeBird. That success has especially carried over greatly to the pro level of disc golf, where the TeeBird3 has become the more popular of the TeeBird family. Some of the top players in the world, such as Paul McBeth, Anthony Barela, and Ricky Wysocki, were all known to rely on the TeeBird3 while with Innova. Due to its popularity and neutral hand feel, the TeeBird3 is one of the few discs made available as a TechDisc. McBeth, Wysocki, and Barela TeeBird3’s are all collectible.
