Choose it for
Faster drives with a finish. Choose it when you already throw fairways comfortably and want this flight role at speed 9.
Choose something else if…
You need an easy-turning driver for lower-power throws.
What the Thunderbird flight numbers mean
The 0 turn and 2 fade favor a finish-oriented flight; inadequate speed can make that finish arrive early.

Before you buy
Check whether a speed-7 fairway already covers the shot before adding another driver.
Read about the Innova TeeBird or compare the Thunderbird and TeeBird side by side.

Throw it and your familiar fairway toward the same open target, then compare consistency as well as reach.
