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.
