From what I understand, there are not a lot of folks too psyched about these.

I however love them for what they are. They are the straitest teebird out there. Not unbelievable in the wind, but really grippy and consistent. I buy a lot of X out pro teebirds for a couple holes out here that are long, open, and over water, this way I get the advantage of a really fast consistent disc, but don't take a huge money hit if I make a mistake.

I think most people find these discs to be a bad value however. I haven't seen many nicks and chunks missing from the disc, but if you hit a tree your teebird will become a teebird-L or roller really quickly. This can be a huge negative, but I still like them when their broken in.

Bottom line: this is the grippiest straitest teebird out there, but it's succeptability to warp and change flight characteristics mean that it probably can't become your main driver since one square shot into a tree means you have a different disc. That said, if you need a new annie disc or a roller, you don't need to wait long to break this puppy in.

I thought the "T" was pretty understable brand new. Somewhat like a semi beat DX Teebird. They didn't fly well with wind, but they were a great disc in calm conditions. Don't play with them on wooded courses.

I think Jon S nailed it.

I agree. I see these T-Birds as the most faithful to the original SE T-birds. Very straight, lotsa glide. For me, they fly like old XL's. I mean that in a nice way.

aren't most (or all) SE Teebirds TLs?
all of the SEs I have seen or owned were TLs, even one I had that was marked T had the L lip on it...
I find that the Pro Teebirds are quite a bit more understable than the Champion or even dx ones...

They couldn't all be TL cause the stamp on the TL has L after Teebird on the top stamp and the T doesn't.

I think CR DG'r is saying that he thinks all of the old SE (Pre-Pro plastic) Teebirds were TL's.

I know that there were a lot of SE TL's, but I know that there were also some T's out there. They were the shizz.

Anyways, I liked the Pro Teebirds. I found that the ones with color were more overstable than the white ones. But there's just no replacement for an XL.

1st run pro teebirds are sweet flyers but the plastic "doesn't fit my game". :D

The first runs plastic is very undurable. The 2nd run is much better plastic more like the super roc plastic.

I dig them. I throw ce valks mostly. used to throw special edition Tl's . these are not too stable which I like. and they go a long way. I was consistently throwing mine farther than my ce valks. which is real wierd because none of my other teebirds get close to my valk in distance. I would have to say that I LOVE this disc

thanks for the info guys, I like how mine throws so far, however I have been hesitant to only throw it on open shots
