I was thinking the pro starfire might be like its bigger brother (cfr Starfire), I was wrong. Brand new, straight level throw this thing threw like a Flash. The Pro Starfire has lots of Glide and Good D but needs some hyzer release to keep it from going 60+ feet from straight. Has anyone else encountered this with anyother of the new "proline" discs? I'm think of getting an Orc but I'm afraid it will be worse than the Starfire. Is the firebird the way to go? Opinions please!!

the starfire isn't that bad...make sure you aren't rotating your wrist slightly.

Check out some of these other threads on the Starfire, you will find a lot of opinions there! :)
Pro Starfires, how do I throw thee? (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Board=Throwing Techniques&Number=367856&Searchpage=0&Main=367856&Search=true&#Post367856)
2nd run CFR vs pro Starfires (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Board=Equipment&Number=355023&Searchpage=0&Main=355023&Search=true&#Post355023)

I have better luck with the Pro Orc (second run) because it has a bit more fade at the end. The Pro Starfire is probably better though with a tailwind. I'm still trying to learn this disc.

Try Throwing the Pro -Orc with Flat Hyzer when new. Don't hit trees with it right away. Maybe I just get good runs or something. All my Innova discs fly as far as I can Throw them.
It's up to me to be Fit enough to throw the good stuff.
Love Innova Plastic. I'ts just up to me to throw it correctly.

In the summer it is very hot and humid. Very nice springs and falls. The winters aren't usually too cold...but they aren't really warm either.
