Fireball is my go to. Was money in the wind today and parked a few holes with it today. It is what I wanted my Firebird to be.
The Proton Fireball is one of my favorites in the bag. For certain shots, it really gets the job done.
I started playing near the end of 2020. Felon was my first overstable 9 speed, and it's still in my bag. My first felon is really beat in, so it's just slightly overstable now, I threw a Ricky fuzion orbit felon in the bag which seems a lot more overstable than I remember my lucid felon ever being. I never tried any other overstable 9 speed because of how much I love my felon. My beat-in felon is the oldest disc in my bag and is my go-to disc for forehand or backhand when I really need a disc that I can trust.
I’ve been throwing a Fireball for around a year now, and I describe it as a faster flat top Firebird or Splice. The edge is a little sharper and makes it feel a tick faster than the others. Where the Felon, Firebird, and Raptor rely on blunt edge to take away some speed and make it fade, the Fireball is just tooled to make it fade. Personally, I think the Fireball is a great option for the overstable shot that you want to skip, but can see the downside if you just want more lateral air movement on your shots. Also, if you don’t have enough power to throw it hard and have it fly straight for a while, I can see where the Fireball seems unusable to some (much like the Splice).

I found this similiar across most of MVP/Axiom discs. Instead of hanging the bump on the rim like a lot of Innova and some other companies discs have like the TeeBird or Thunderbird, MVP just makes the disc overstable without slowing it down during it’s flight.

This is the disc comparison I've needed! I just bought a raptor and don't know yet if it's what I'm looking for!
Really liking the Mint Alpha for this slot, had a Fireball but it was just too much for me.
Great content. I have all 4 and fireball is def my most os.
There are some domey Firebirds out there right now. Definitely more glide and a little straighter
The Halo Firebird has been great for me. Definitely consider it if you find yourself enjoying Halo Wraiths or Halo Destroyers.
As some one who’s thrown all of these to varying success.. I’d also recommend the FD3. All are great tho
How is fd3 not in this comparison?

Felon is my fave but they are all in a fun slot to throw
Should've put a Millenium Draco with that lineup!!
The raptor works really well for my forehand shots but i rarely use them backhand lol. They dive hard for me 😂
You left out the Xenon from loft! That one should've been in since you reviewed Loft before.😊
You could have included the Kastaplast Stal in this review. I am local and have one you can use if it helps.

no thanks! appreciate the offer tho
Fireball is just a level above the others in stability. You should also try a Neutron Terra in that slot, more closer to the others in stability.
the raptor is the one for me in that slot. I like the feel and is so trusting
What about the prodigy FX-2?
I threw every overstable 9 speed I could get my hands on, until I came across my Felon. No other 9 speed does for me what my Felon does. It could just be my throwing style but my Felon is money, always. But I throw my Felons almost exclusively on forehand. I have them in basically every combo and the Sockibomb Felons are so damn good. The only drawback, is that the Felon will skip off on you if you aren't careful. I try not to throw it around water. lol
Will you be deciding between different molds of whichever disc makes the bag? (Tour series, limited edition player runs, tournament edition like LVC, OTB, Ledgestone)

Is that a Lucid Felon? Looks fairly opaque
How about a blade V2 from Gateway?!
Try the mint diamond back please
Streamline Flare by far!
I carry a Star Firebird and a FAF Firebird. Star for normal days and FAF for windy days.
I use raptors but I’ve had them long enough to beat them in and get nice controlled flights out of. I personally like the idea of getting a fireball simply because it’s so stable and beat it in over time and filter it in and replace one of my raptors.
Didn't you have an FX-2 laying around? Did you get that to turn? It's in my slot for this shot. My speed is slower ofc so prob. why it suits me better. Got a Fortress as well for more distance but late stability, won't flex back as much. Did you ever get to throw a =K= Rask in the woods? ;)

Stal is a great disc too
Wild discs Tasmanian Devil ❤
You 100% can get different flights with fierballs. They offer them down into the 160g and the plasma fierballs season in fast.
Can confirm that fireball is beef. Can also confirm it's not even close to splice beef. As someone who bags both the splice not a disc that flies while the fireball is a super reliable overstable fairway
never love for the pioneer. thats my favorite disc in that slot
bro fd3, doom bird 3 and 4 are cracked
If you want a slightly more stable felon, take lat64 pioneer or a slightly domier the kastaplast Stål is money
I don't quite get the one-mold ideology the way you described it. If you have two Firebirds that came out of the box wildly different, the profiles on those discs will be wildly different as well, because that's what determines the flight of a disc. I'd say having two different MVP models that share the core mold would be much closer in hand feel than some Innova misfire discs. Apart from a placebo effect, I don't think there should be any reason why you couldn't pick up a Proton Tesla as a straighter-flying complement to the Fireball. Or a Convict to go with your Felon. It's a different thing when you beat a disc in yourself and get used to the gradual changes in the disc.
Before watching this, I've found the best for me. For this type of battle, the most overstable doesn't win. The one the glides usually does. The Cap Rap and the Draco are the best for me with the super strong fade. I don't do content, but did my own tests. Cap Rap most overstable, Draco has best glide and overstable combo. I noticed your stamped firebird had great distance and glide, others have used it in their vids. They van stamp is moving around!

Ohhh boy Anthony. Wait til you have some mean wind or play in lower elevation. Your gonna wish that Fireball was in the bag. Go down in weight if you want it to fly a little straighter before a consistent hard fade, like a 168g Fireball. And guess what.....they'll all be flat and feel the same. Unless your only playing tourneys in CO, I don't think you account for how elevation changes the flight. Something to think about. #ThrowGYRO

TSA Omen is what you're looking for.
My arm speed is so slow that an incredibly understable disc flies the way these are supposed to fly for me. I don't think I could throw an overstable driver more than 150ft
Millenium Draco is my favorite version of the Firebird so far as well as the Sexton. But these discs don't have more glide than you were expecting you were just putting them on flex lines pretty much the whole time which obviously make the overstable discs "glide" more. Throw these discs flat and they have the glide that the flight numbers mention.
@BodanzaDiscGolf
Жыл бұрын
I've heard the draco is great! But yes, these discs def did have more glide than what I'd expect of the numbers, they held the turn more than I'd expect bc of the glide. It's just bc they had dome where the fireball didn't. Flex lines don't make discs glide more, but it can make them fly farther, glide makes discs hold lines more. Similarly, thrown flat, they go farther than you'd expect because of the dome that creates glide, flatter versions would def be accurate to the numbers tho. Raptor I think is right tho

Why do people keep comparing the Raptor to a Firebird, It's not even close. If you want a discraft disc that is like the other molds, that would be a Predator.
