2022 Nate Sexton Firebird Disc Golf Disc Review

Introducing the 2022 Nate Sexton Firebird

Disc golf fans rejoice! Innova has just released the highly anticipated 2022 edition of the Nate Sexton Firebird. As one of the most popular fairway drivers in disc golf, each new release of the Firebird grabs the attention of pros and amateurs alike. So what can we expect from the 2022 Nate Sexton Firebird?

Following in the Footsteps of Past Releases

The Nate Sexton Firebird has become an Innova staple ever since it was first introduced in 2011. Each year the disc receives a new swirly multi-colored stamp along with Nate Sexton's signature. The 2022 edition follows suit with a neon yellow, green, and blue stamp across a pinkish-purple disc. It definitely pops!

As far as flight characteristics go, the 2022 Firebird has the same dependable overstable fade that has made Firebirds so popular. The Firebird is speed 9 and stability 3, meaning it has that hard left finish (for RHBH throwers) that aggressive players love for forehand shots, spike hyzers, flex shots, and reliable fades. It also has a nice flat top and beadless rim for clean releases.

Why Do Pros Love the Firebird?

Ever watched Nate Sexton or Paul McBeth throw a beautiful forehand flex shot that fades perfectly to the pin? Chances are they released a Firebird to shape that line. The Firebird's overstability gives it some unique flight capabilities compared to other fairway drivers.

The Firebird handles torque well, so it flies true on aggressive forehand shots. The fade also allows right-handed backhand players to release the Firebird on anhyzer angles and trust it will come back at the end. Pros count on the Firebird's reliability for these shots time and time again. Having that go-to overstable fairway driver can be a big advantage for precise shot shaping.
