Innova Firebird
The Firebird is an overstable distance driver which works extremely well into a headwind. It is our most popular upwind distance driver.

The Firebird’s combination of superior speed and stability make it possible to throw drives into the wind with confidence. An excellent disc for throwing long range flex shots. A favorite of sidearm and overhead throwers, too. This disc is designed for professional level players.

Love this disc for forehands – very predictable and easy to control. Also great in strong winds and for backhand spike hyzers. One of my go to discs.

Feel – The firebird fits very nicely in the hand as is has a fairly narrow rim. Many firebirds are fairly flat, but ideally the flat ones are usually the best/most overstable/most comfortable for a forehand grip. I’ve only felt a few sexton firebirds other than this one and they’ve seemed to be fairly flat. It feels good for both backhand and forehand shots and the color glow champion plastic is super durable and is pretty grippy compared to other extremely durable plastics and is probably my favorite plastic that innova makes.
Flight – The Sexton firebirds are a bit less stable than a regular flat 12x champion run but they are a bit more glidey. You can definitely still trust this disc into a headwind but it will still get you a good amount of distance before fading out. Because I have a weak forehand, I don’t throw this forehand unless I’m in a very tricky situation where I need a flick roller or a tomahawk or something like that to get out of trouble. But I love this disc for backhand dogleg shots as it seems to always skip more than any other disc in my bag.
Overall – I would recommend the firebird or FD3 or Felon or whichever brand that you like. These discs all fill the same overstable fairway slot and do it very well. If you already have that extremely overstable fairway and are looking for a reliably overstable fairway that gets you a bit more distance I would try out a sexton firebird for sure.
