Innova Star Teebird Väinö Mäkelä Tour Series 2025
How do I read the numbers and stability?
How fast the disc has to be thrown to fly as designed. Beginners: up to 7. Without a strong arm, a faster disc will simply drop to the left and won't fly far.
How long the disc stays up in the air. A higher number means more distance with less effort. 5–7 works well for beginners.
High-speed turn. How much the disc turns to the right early in the flight (right-handed backhand). For beginners −1 to −3 is better: this turn to the right offsets the natural drop to the left of a beginner's throw, so the disc flies straighter.
Low-speed fade. How sharply the disc hooks to the left and drops at the end of the flight. For beginners 0–2 is more predictable and keeps more distance.
Despite how it sounds, understable does not mean a bad or unpredictable flight. Stability is relative to the power of the throw.
An understable disc is made to turn right on a powerful throw. On a beginner's softer throw, this tendency evens out the natural drop to the left, and the disc flies straight.
On a beginner's throw, a stable or overstable disc will drop to the left straight away and won't fly far. Once your throw gets stronger, you can move on to more stable discs.
Beginners: the first 6 months, still learning the basics of the throw. Amateurs: play regularly, with a developed technique. Advanced players: experienced players with a powerful, consistent throw.
Finnish disc golf star Väinö Mäkelä knows a lot about Teebird discs and scoring on the course. On tour, he carries five Teebird discs in his bag, with varying degrees of stability, which do most of the work from the tee . Sure, his Destroyer discs can fly a little further in some winds, but gram for gram the Teebird simply gets the job done with less effort. The Teebird is no slouch when it comes to long distance either; it once held the world record at 247 meters, or an impressive 810 feet. That’s pretty impressive for such a controllable fairway driver.
Väinö Mäkelä isn't the only one who believes Innova founder Dave Dunipace has created a great design. Most other manufacturers have tried to copy the Teebird, all with varying results. We think Väinö would agree: if you're looking for the world-famous, shot-saving Teebird flight, just throw the Teebird. The 2025 Väinö Mäkelä Tour Series Star Teebird!
A significant portion of the proceeds from each sale will go towards Väinö Mäkelä and his participation in tours.
