The Innova Firbird is a popular and reliable overstable distance driver from Innova Discs. Any serious player will be packing at least one of these babies.

Flight Numbers: 9 / 3 / 0 / 4

Diameter: 21.1 cm

Rim Width: 1.9 cm

Available Plastics: DXChampionGStar, StarHalo

Best Choice for: A favorite of sidearm and overhand (thumbers) throwers.

First Released: March, 2000-1

Flight: How the Firebird flies

For those with power (and you know who you are), the Innova Firebird provides a straight flight followed by a substantial fade (or hook) to the ground for medium to short drives.

Expect this overstable disc in many cases to skip hard before it comes to a rest. Without enough power, the disc will immediately hook hard to the ground.

Innova Firebird Flight Numbers

Innova Firebird Flight Numbers

Here’s a look under the hood of this popular upwind distance driver.

Speed: 9

Sure there are faster discs out there. But when you combine the Firebird’s modest speed with its other beefy flight characteristics you get an overstable workhorse like no other.

Glide: 3

Of all of our active drivers, the Firebird has the lowest glide. That means the chances of it blowing by your target is nearly nil.

High Speed Turn: 0

Zero high speed turn means this disc isn’t going to budge from the line you put it on, until of course the generous fade kicks, sending it to your target with gusto.

Fade: 4

That’s about as high as fade gets. Big fade combined with zero turn means you can put everything you got into this disc and have no doubt it’s coming back.

How do other discs compare to the Firebird

With the flight numbers of: 7 / 5 / 0 / 2, the TeeBird is a straight shooter, with a slow and steady flight, moderate fade finish, and can be thrown by most players. The Firebird requires considerably more power for a straight flight, and still produces a significant hzyer finish at flight’s end.

The flight of these two discs starts out similar, however the Firebird’s fade is much more severe. The Thunderbird (9 / 5 / 0 / 2) still has respectable overstability, however, you won’t have to plan for nearly as much hook at flight’s end.

Speed is the big difference maker here. With the Innova XCaliber (12 / 5 / 0 / 4), you get the same cranked-up fade as the Firebird, however the XCal’s 12-speed will put you out into the fairway faster, covering more ground, before its hefty fade takes effect.

  1. Every disc golfer needs a disc that can turn the tide. Our Classic Glow Champion Shryke with the slice n’ dice Sling3lade design has enough wow-factor in the air and on the disc to keep you in the hunt. *A Marm O. Set Design. Run Details: Noticeable dome. More about the design: The original SlingBlade design with two blades was cool, but this Sling3lade edition with three blades is even cooler – we’re talking cool infused with bacon and fire breathing monster trucks – kind of cool. Not only that, but artist Marm O. Set, who calls this “My favorite of the VTX series,” was inspired by Boba Fett’s helmet for this ultra clean design. Can’t go wrong there. Word of warning: If you spin these Sling3lade discs too fast they may open a portal to another dimension, which may or may not have disc golf.

Underside of rim has flattened edge.   Ram Flight Numbers: 6 / 4 / -1 / 4 How the Ram flies: In the mid 1990’s it wasn’t uncommon for Innova’s fairway drivers to be a lot bigger. In fact some like the Ram were the same size as today’s large diameter mid ranges. In the air, the overstable Ram flies like a faster midrange, but serves up extra helpings of mutton with its fade rating of 4. DX plastic Provides good all-around, all-weather grip at a very affordable price. It’s the least overstable of Innova plastics and has the shortest break-in time.

Plastic Types

You’ve heard of the Champion Firebird. Now get to know the rest of the Firebird family

Trust us. If you haven’t thrown a Firebird before, start here first.

DX plastic is the least overstable and is the easiest way to get-to-know this beefy disc model.

Grip: Good all-around, all-weather grip.

Durability: Least durable of Innova plastics (short break-in time, though)

Pack this grippy guy for rainy or frigid rounds when you can’t live without overstable goodness. A GStar Firebird is the next step up in overstability after DX.

Grip: Grippiest of Innova’s premium plastics. Soft and flexy. Ideal for wet, cold weather.

Durability: High durability

If Champion grip is not for you, but you don’t want to sacrifice too much overstability, then the Star Firebird will be right up your alley.

Grip: Good all-conditions grip. Many players only throw Star plastic.

Durability: Very durable. Nearly as durable as Champion and Halo Star plastic.

This is the Firebird that Firebird throwers reach for and one of the best-selling Innova discs. Champion plastic is known for being the most overstable plastic, and that beefiness is put to great use here. Another reason to throw the Champion Firebird, it’s a signature disc of 12-time World Champ Ken Climo.

Grip: Among Innova’s least grippy plastic

Durability: Innova’s most durable, long-lasting plastic

Halo disc models, with their intense two-color combinations, are a sight to behold. Compared with Star plastic, Halo Star discs have more glide and more overstability. If you love your Champion Firebird, but wish it had better grip, say hello to the Halo Firebird.

Grip: Excellent grip that bests the desirable Star plastic

Durability: Among Innova’s most durable plastic. Just a notch below Champion.

Flat Top Champion Firebird

When just plain overstable won’t do, many Firebird lovers seek out the venerable Flat Top Firebird. Like the name suggests, these discs are board flat or as close to it as possible. The flat top is said to give the disc extra overstability and less glide. Although some Firebirds can come quite flat off the factory line, most of these Firebirds are post production flattened.

Grip: Among Innova’s least grippy plastic

Durability: Innova’s most durable, long-lasting plastic

Why use a Firebird?

The Firebird is an excellent disc for so many throws. Here are the Top 8:

Forehand / Sidearm / Flick Shots

Pros call it the ultimate sidearm disc. Once you develop the arm speed, you won’t use anything else.

Headwind Shots:

When you throw a Champion Firebird backhand, forehand, or overhand, heavy winds seem to change from a roar to a whimper.

Overhead Shots:

Lay the hammer down, or the thumber for that matter with the one disc that can handle those powerful throws and stay on point.

Monster Hyzers:

Perhaps the easiest throw to make with the Firebird is the meat hook. This disc just wants to hyzer. So, let it do what it wants and both you and the disc will be happy.

Hitting Sharp Corners:

Need to hug a dogleg? Not many discs do it better.

Force Flex Shot:

If you have the power or a well-worn Firebird, this shot could be a round-changer for your game.

Skips:

Get out of trouble or touch down on an unlikely green with this handy shot.

Forehand Roller:

When you force a Firebird to roll magical things can happen, especially from the rough.

Who Should Throw a Firebird?

Let's face it, not every disc is for every disc golfer. And that includes the Firebird, one of the most overstable discs available. Designed for professional level players, it’s often too much disc for beginners and those who struggle to throw past 300 feet.

So how do I know if I can wield it? If you are easily turning over discs like the TeeBird or Thunderbird with a flat release (whether it’s backhand or forehand), then you’re a good candidate for a Firebird.

The Firebird can still serve smaller arms. If you don’t have a big arm, but you’re an experienced disc golfer, a Firebird can still find a place in your bag for select situations like headwind drives, big downhill shots, skip shots, and overhand shots. **If you're unsure if you have the power for full use of a Firebird try it in DX plastic first in the lightest weight available.

Firebird Reviews: Pros swear by the Firebird

If you do have the power, you won’t throw anything else when you need a hyzer finishing flight. The list for those that rely on the Firebird is long. Check out some of its biggest fans.

Jeremy Koling ( 2016 US Champ): “I love the mold of the Firebird. It comes out of the forehand grip, the backhand grip so clean. It just feels right in the hand,” said Koling, adding that it still works if your forehand form isn’t the best.

Brian Schweberger (2013 US Masters Champ): “My best disc for over-hand thumbers,” said Schweberger, who uses a Champion Firebird (with Flat Top) for 95% of his thumbers.

Nate Sexton (2017 US Champ): “Regardless of the conditions or hazards on the course I can put my full effort behind this disc and always trust that it’s going to do what I think it’s going to do and put me in a good spot,” said Sexton one of the pro tour’s best forehand players.

Jennifer Allen (Women’s Distance World Record Holder): “I have always thrown the Champion Firebird. I’ve always played in a lot of wind so I love throwing big spike hyzers … the Firebird is one of the most dependable discs that I have that will always finish to the left (Backhand).

A favorite for Average Joe’s, too: This disc is so revered, even players loyal to other manufacturers will cross over to buy it. Anthony, DGU Customer: “Trust the overstability! You’ll go to the Firebird over and again when you’ve learned which shots they are best utilized for. They’re great for shorter hyzer shots when you don’t need the extra distance and they’re also my go to disc for tough to reach flick-shots.” Seaver, DGU Customer: “You can bet that this disc will fade back no matter what. I use it for situations where I need a big skip or I need a consistent hyzer shot.”
