About the Birdie
The Birdie is a slow, straight flyer with our Thumtrac® grip
for a sure release. It has great chain catching ability.
Great for approach shots, as it flies straight and slow
start to finish. It is one of our best “go for” discs
as it doesn’t go far past the basket on misses, and
stays put when it hits the ground. A good disc for those
players making the conversion from flat edged disc sports:
Catch, Ultimate, Freestyle, etc.
About
INNOVA's Champion Plastic
INNOVA’s Champion Line is produced with a unique plastic that provides
outstanding performance and durability. Champion discs are distinguished by a
clear or pearlescent plastic. Our Champion Line discs retain original flight
characteristics for an extended period of time. Whether used in heavily wooded
situations, or on extremely rugged courses, our Champion Line plastic will continue
to perform predictably and avoid damage better than any other plastic. Originally
designed for professional players, Champion Line discs can handle the increased
power of top level players. The Champion Line has recently expanded to include
most of our drivers as well as many of our popular disc models in other categories.
Many Champion Line discs are now available for custom hot
stamping. Certain Champion models are available only through our successful Candy
Fundraiser Program.

I switched to
this disc from the Aviar several years ago. It is rock
solid in the wind. This is why I putt with it. I also
use it for approaches out to about 200 feet, for the
same reason (stability in wind) and because, compared
with other discs, it stays put better when it hits the
ground. Five Time Senior Grandmaster
