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 Pro Line Plastic
INNOVA’S Pro Line
is manufactured using a special blend of plastics and are
designed to provide
unique
qualities
for each available model. These quality discs offer increased
durability over discs made in our DX plastic and provide
an enhanced grip when compared to the Champion plastic.
Our Pro Line of discs provide additional glide when compared
to all our other disc lines and are more affordable than
our premium Champion Line discs. The special blends of
our Pro Line plastic can produce discs in a wide range
of rigidity, from the extremely soft and flexible Pro
Rhyno or JK
Aviar to the stiff, firm plastic of the KC
Pro Aviar.
Regardless of the firmness of the disc, all of the INNOVA
Pro Line models offer unique gripablity. Many Pro Line
discs are also available in colorful I-Dye designs.
Some models are now available for custom
hot stamping.

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
