Champion Thunderbird Factory Second

The Thunderbird is a really nice, stable control driver that will fill the gap between your fairway and distance drivers. This thing is going to be pretty beefy for newer players to the game, but more experienced players are going to get a straight stable fight, that is resistant to turn, with a nice healthy fade at the end. Once you season one of these, you are going to have a disc that you can throw on a ton of lines. The Thunderbird is a great driver from Innova. (Posted on 12/31/2018)

Every time I step up to a straight shot that needs a hard left finish, I pull out my champion Thunderbird, and every time, it flies straight before ending with a nice consistent fade. Bridges the gap perfectly between my Destroyer and my Teebird. (Posted on 7/26/2017)

When I got my first Champion Thunderbird, it quickly became my all-time favorite and go-to disc in my bag. I then found out about Innova's awesome Factory Second feature, and took advantage of it by buying two more of them. Do yourself, and your scorecard, a favor by doing the same. (Posted on 6/28/2017)

I am a relatively new player that is completely obsessed with disc golf, much like many others. I threw a friends Champion Thunderbird and loved it for backhand and forehand shots. I bought a factory second Champion Thunderbird and it is amazing! For forehands it is perfect because I can get a lot of distance out of it with a reliable fade. For backhands it gives a good fade, but is not anywhere near something like a Destroyer. Fantastic disc that everyone should try! (Posted on 4/18/2017)

I have bought F2 and Full production thunderbirds and I love them. I haven't gotten a bad one yet. With this last order that makes 15 of them for me. A definite addition to any bag (Posted on 1/26/2017)

I ordered one of these as a backup to my 3x McBeth Thunderbird and for whatever reason it not only feels different in the hand but it flies different. I ended up buying a 4x McBeth Thunderbird which feels and throws just like my 3x and I've shelved this version. (Posted on 7/7/2016)

I just have to get straight into it. I use the Thunderbird for shots in between 320'-420' or so, on the same exact line. Just a dead straight shot with a decent reliable fade at the end. Players of all power-levels will be able to throw this disc on the same line, the only thing that varies is the distance. I don't always step up to shots like I described and think Thunderbird, but sometimes there are just holes that I come across which I couldn't imagine throwing anything else.

I don't even quite understand what makes a certain hole a Thunderbird hole for me, but man when I throw it, it WORKS.

Defining moment for this disc in my bag was hole 17 at Pier Park in Portland, OR. The hole in its B position is 450' downhill sort of narrow fairway with a dogleg left late at the end where the basket is. It's a hole that I had never come close to a birdie on before, but last time I played there, I knew I needed to throw my Thunderbird. It went dead nuts straight down the alley and faded in just at the exact right time, parked 12 feet from the pin. Easily the most satisfying birdie I've ever had on that course. (Posted on 9/8/2015)

I recently tested out my new Champion Thunderbird and they look and fly great. Very consistent and true flight even in a head wind. This disc fits very nicely between the Teebird and the Destroyer. (Posted on 5/4/2015)

I love the 175 Thunderbird in Champion. The guys at Innova fulfilled both my request for weight and color. This disc really is a longer Teebird. It's laser straight with a mellow, predictable fade. Love it! (Posted on 4/12/2015)

soars for days. tiny little spec of black in the disc. great grip, holds its line every time. (Posted on 4/6/2015)

The gstar is nice but these discs in champion plastic just seem so much better in the hand. I don't know why but the glide/distance is a little further and overall seems to hold the line and is much more predictable than the gstar plastic. (Posted on 3/12/2015)

Bought these for practicing my drives. The quality is awesome if a speck or tiny bubble doesn't bother you. You can't beat the price either. Innova has a customer for life because I asked if I could get all the same color and they made it happen. All the same weight too. Thanks Innova (Posted on 2/5/2015)
