by
Innova
SKU: DG-INV-DX-Fir (REF809 *AST**4)
Description
The Innova DX Firebird fairway driver is Innova's most popular upwind driver, molded in DX plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on headwind drives and forehands. If you're shopping for a dependable Firebird for your bag, this DX run is a great place to start.
DX Plastic
DX is Innova's value plastic, offered in the widest selection of models and weights. It provides excellent grip in a variety of weather, and it wears in with use, gradually taking on new flight characteristics. Many top pros carry several DX discs of their favorite models for different flight patterns.
The Mold
The Firebird is an overstable driver that works extremely well into a headwind, and it's Innova's most popular upwind distance driver.
Stability
The Firebird is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers

|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 4 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
