    Are you sick of every TeeBird you find on shelves being super domey? The TeeBird3 is your friend. Thanks to the '3' process, these discs are far more consistent when compared to other discs from the Innova lineup, already knocking aside one of the major complaints about the brand. While the TeeBird3 won't glide as much as most TeeBirds, this will usually have more left-to-right play due to the nature of a flat disc compared to a disc with more dome. Coming in a variety of plastics, the TeeBird3 is a great choice for a consistent, straight-to-stable fairway driver.

    I bag a 2017 Paul McBeth TS MF Teebird3. This particular disc is very flat topped and is stiff but has a litlle bit of give. It is easily my favorite disc to throw. No matter how much power I put behind my forehand throws, this disc refuses to turn over and will hold straight for well over 200 feet before gently fading out. I dont typically throw this disc on backhand so I can't confidently rate its effectiveness as a backhand disc. However, if you are looking for a straight flying torque resistant forehand disc, I highly recommend the Teebird3.

    This disc is great for me. I can throw this disc straight and it will go straight for about 200ft and then slowly fade to the left. Really great disc for my bag. I throw a metal flake and a champion teebird3.

    Looking for a better Teebird? This is it. It's flatter than the original with less variation between plastics. I have Teebird3s in MF Champ, Color Glow Champ, Star and G*.  While the MF is slightly more stable than the others it's not like you're throwing another mold (see the original Teebird). This is my go to disc for shots just a touch too far for a midrange (320ish) or if there's a noticeable headwind. It's also a decent short range thumber disc. I like it!

    Disc: 175g Metal Flake Teebird3

    This is easily one of my favorite discs, and I can't imagine it leaving my bag. I originally got the Teebird3 because I needed a more overstable counterpart to the Innova TL, and this fit the bill perfectly! The one I have is board-flat, so I use it for both backhands and forehands. Even with a straight-to-stable flight, I'm amazed at its dependability. It can handle a decent amount of headwind or crosswind, and puts up with forehand torque quite well. I'd definitely recommend this disc in the metal flake plastic for the added stability and durability.

    My teebird3 seems a little more overstable than what the numbers indicate. I have mine in metal flake champion plastic so it has quite a bit of beef to it. Really reliable for long accurate shots that just need to fade left at the end. I love the feel of the rim being a bit shallower in the hand so it feels that I can really control the angles well. It can seem a little quick heading towards your target but the low glide helps to place it right where you're aiming. I highly recommend this disc for those looking for a quick controllable fairway driver that can still smash some good distance when needed.

    The metal flake TeeBird3 is a relatively new addition to my bag. Nevertheless I am really happy with the disc. I'm a big forehand guy so the flat top and no bead feal really good in the hand. I only use the TeeBird3 for two things tight straight fairway shots or short hyzer shots. If you need a disc that can do that, there is nothing better on the market. But if you need something more versatile, try a Leopard3.

    The Teebird mold is one of the best ever conceived. Nothing flies straight when thrown hard with minimal turn and minimal fade. Getting one beat in perfectly is the absolute dream. The 3 Top gives the Teebird even more predictability in its flight. It is just the tick faster and less glidey, but not enough to make a big difference. The Teebird3 has kicked out all other stable to overstable fairway/control molds for my bag.

    This is the disc I had been searching for. A more stable Teebird with a flatter top. I have two 171g champion metal flake T3's. One dark blue and one red. I use these for longer backhand fade shots and low power forehand placement upshots. I am able to get great control with this disc. For backhand shots I throw it pretty flat and let the disc do the work. For forehand I power down and just give it about 60% for those straight placement shots with small fade. I have even hit a couple of Aces with the forehand shot with the T3. A great all around disc and even works well in moderate wind conditions. I would probably recommend the regular Teebird for beginners, but the Teebird 3 is a great Int to Pro disc.

    The Teebird3 is a faster, less glidey version of the classic Teebird. They have a nice flat top and get out on a laser beam straight line in a hurry. There is still some Teebird fade at the end of the flight, but I found it to be a hair less stable than a fresh Teebird. This is a driver that could really become your workhorse, and you could put it on any line. This is a great disc if you are in the market for a new fairway.

    This is everything a fairway control driver should be: straight and stable.  The MF Teebird3's are faster than a regular Teebird.  They're even better once they begin to beat in.  I use one as my hyzerflip to turning fairway driver.  The Star TeeBird3's start out really straight and hold any line you throw them on.  These also make excellent forehand drivers, as they are very straight and can handle plenty of power.  If a new Star or Champion Teebird is too domey or is too overstable fresh off the shelf then try out a Teebird3.

    My favorite fairway driver hands down. Got my first one at my first tournament 3 years ago, and it is the only disc that has stayed in the bag that long. Such a great woods disc, can go a mile on a tight line. Very versatile, you can make these fly on any angle you put them on. The one disc that has given me confidence every time I pull it out. Perfect fairway driver for a beginner to learn to throw. Highly recommend.

    Bought this disc because im a paul mcbeth fanboy and i thrown mainly innova.... Bad choice for me.\

    This thing is uber stable to the point of almost being too os. It fades hard and consistently.

    Probably good for someone who throws destros over 400, but for a more intermediate player like me, i opt for the thunderbid and leo3 combo instead.

    do you wish your teebirds wouldn't turnover when the wind picks up? then this is the disc for you great for those shots where you need it to go dead straight then have it fade slightly at the end. I truly wish i would have gotten one of these way earlier in my career cause every body needs a teebird like disc in their bag but i would highly recommend you consider this disc especially the metal flake champion very consistent feel and durability.

    Metal flake champ: This has to be one of the most underrated discs on the market.  This is a point and shoot disc.  When you really get on it you might see a bit of turn and a reliable, but not huge, fade at the end.  Just a very straight disc with a little fade at the end that is incredibly reliable.

    I just started playing disc golf again and have been building up my bag from scratch. The one spot in my bag I have been struggling to fill was a stable fairway driver that could be used for both my forehand and backhand. In the past I used Teebirds in this slot but never could forehand them consistently. 

    Enter in the Teebird3.

    The moment I picked up a Teebird3 I knew it was exactly the disc I was searching for. The low profile feels great at in the hand for both my backhand and forehand grips. The flight numbers are spot on! It's my most used disc in my bag and has help me take my game to another level.

    I wouldn't recommend this disc to a beginner but it should be one of the first fairway drivers a player should consider. 

    Buy a Teebird3 and enjoy!

    I have this in MF and Gstar, MF for spring/summer, and gstar in fall/winter. But I prefer the MF. The TB3 is one of my favorite and most thrown disc I bag. Had it for 2 years at least. My favorite is to use it for hard, low ceiling shots BH. It seems to only fly as high as your arm release and just lazers.

    For me it goes about 300ft on a rope then controllably fades up to about 330ft. If I'm trying to get it to 340-360ft, it'll turn slightly then faded back to straight or left. Predictable even in the wind. I wont try to get 400 out of it, I'll usually step up to a thunderbird. I don't ever FH it, haven't tried.

    I prefer the tb3 vs the regular teebrid. The regular teebird definitely glides more but for my game, the glide of a teebird takes me more off target on my mistakes vs the teebird3. All that being said, I cant see my bag without the TB3.

    I've got 3 metal flake teebird3's and they make their way into the bag depending on the course.  I mainly stick with the standard teebird but when i need a disc to hold a low, straight line.  In the woods I'm reaching for a teebird3 for any hole that's longer than 300'.  Out in the open I prefer my standard teebirds.  I also have a star teebird3 that i bag once and a while as well.  Very similar to the metal flake ones but a touch more overstable.

    I picked up a Paul McBeth tour series Teebird3 about 6 months ago and it has become one the most used, if not the most used, disc in my bag. This is truly a dead straight fairway driver, easy to throw backhand or forehand, and a must have for anyone that needs a solid fairway driver.

    175g Metal Flake Champion Teebird3

    Oh the Metal Flake Champion Teebird3. How I have lusted after this disc for so long. When they released the McBeth Tour Series ones in late 2017 I just had to have one (or three). For me, it was just not what I was hoping for. My biggest complaint about a standard Teebird is that it wasn't understable enough for me. I was hoping to get that stupid straight/slight turnover shot that you see the pros throw over and over again. I'm sure that with time, this disc will be what I'm looking for, but out of the box and after maybe 10 rounds with it, it is not unique enough for me to recommend over a standard Teebird.

    Great disc. Bought one max weight in metal flake champ plastic and it quickly became my money disc for any shot 230-290 ft. Very straight disc, but throw it on a hyzer and it will flip to straight then break back into the hyzer it was thrown on after 150 ft or so. most accurate disc i bag and flys just like the numbers suggest. I threw the first one i bought into a creek about 2 months after getting it, so bought 3 more before moving on

    This disk is the laser beam of all laser beams rhfh. Had a little trouble adjusting to this disc but once I did this disc is money from 250-300'. thrown hard can get a little turn but, usually not. 2 fade is accurate but can minimalize by throwing low and hard. Highly recommend

    If you are looking to bump your Teebird distance, grab the Teebird3.  I play a lot of tight wooded courses that required high powered low ceiling shots.  This disc excels in this area.  The Teebird3 is like the regular teebird with higher octane fuel.  This disc rips out of my hand and cuts through the air on extremely far and low lines.   I love my Teebird3.

    The TeeBird3 is a must have disc in every players bag. For the beginner player the TB3 will act as a nice stable fairway driver for headwind shots or reliable hyzers. For the more advanced player the TB3 will be a straight flying fairway with a consistent fade at the end. Once you get the TB3 in your bag you will wonder how you ever made it through a round without it.

    I love this disc! It is very consistent, which is what I look for in discs. It will hold the initial line, hyzer or anhyzer, for a good length then always finishes over stable. Not a great long distance driver as it doesn't have much glide. Great for shorter down hill shots.

    I picked this disc up looking for a fairway driver that can handle power/wind and also goes straight with a confident hyzer out at the end.   This was it.

    I am not a long-time teebird thrower so I'm going to rate this disc  based on itself.  I picked up a glow champion T3 at 175g.

    Feel is excellent, flat top, fairly fast but is not going to go THAT far, it does have minimal glide, so I think the flight numbers are very accurate.  Its a disc I can confidently throw with any amount of power at any angle.  Mainly I use this for straight shots that need a nice hyzer out.  Give it a hyzer angle and it follows that to the ground.  Anhyzers will hold and flatten, depending on the height and angle it may or may not come back fully.  Very good disc, It goes just as far as my TL, just less glide more hyzer, trusty.   I dig it
