One of the best fairway/control drivers made. Unlike the Teebird, the Eagle-x has a bit of turn and healthier fade. The result is a driver that’s easy to S-curve, especially as it beats in. The nice thing about the Eagle is it never loses its LSS too much, making it an easy disc to range due to the ever-present fade. As it beats in, it will develop more turn and will do a decent Teebird impression if you hyzer-flip it. Star, Champ and DX Eagles are all pretty consistent, so you don’t have to worry about 11x or 12x or CAL tooling or any of that mess. The only thing you have to check for if shopping in person is that it’s a X mold and not a L mold. All Stars are basically X, with L’s being made in Champ and DX mostly. The L mold will have a very flat lip or rim whereas the X has a curve, almost concave rim.

These are great stable/overstable drivers. Heavy Eagles can start out pretty beefy, but if you give them time to beat in they become great stable control drivers. You can flex them and have confidence that they are going to come back for you, or you can throw them as hard as you want to and trust that they will fade left at the end. If you beat one in enough, Eagles become great turnover/hyzerflip discs.
Eagles perform predictably in wind, and are consistent main drivers for players of any skill levels.

Started using this disc a long time ago and throughout all the mold changes the EX is the best I have ever thtown. Heavy winds, and tight shots, no problem, this disc gets the job done. I can’t ask for a better go to driver for most the holes out there and yet is still can go big when you really reach back for all the extra D.

I have Tomahawked this disc out over 300ft. It was in my bag for over a year before I started using it this way but preforms as the previous reviewer stated (beware the X vs L mold!). It is the most consistent and predictable disc I’ve thrown (tomahawk, sidearm, and backhand). I prefer champion plastic and have to replace it every other year or so for tomahawk.

In my opinion the Eagle is one of the greatest discs in disc golf. Its a good disc for beginners to throw and learn with and it can grow with you as you get better. I prefer the Eagle to the Teebird because of its line shaping abilities and its a little better in the wind. I won’t play a round without it. I throw it on 80% of my drives. Its very predictable and forgiving. I like the Eagle X version better than the L version because of its overstability. The L mold is a little straighter and closer to a Teebird. I thtow almost all Discraft but the Eagle is the best disc in my bag.

NOTE: The Eagle has two molds. The Eagle X is a stable fairway driver with a concave rim. The Eagle L is an understable fairway driver with a flatter rim. This review is for the EX (I would recommend offering two Eagle molds to review just like you would for the TL FL or SL.)
The EX is my go to driver for both controlled tunnel shots, skip shots, thumbers, and big distance shots. The EX has a straight flight with a large fade at the end. The EX flies great even in heavy winds. The first time I threw it I described it as a Firebird for the faint of heart. It is a very beafy fairway driver but is not as overstable as the Firebird.
The Teebird is a far more popular fairway driver that is much like the Eagle, but with less fade or stability. Dave Feldberg in a radio interview on some Bass fishing show said that the single most importand disc in his bag is the Eagle (not sure if he was referring to the EL or EX). He said that he likes it better than the Teebird because you can carve tighter lines with the Eagle. He might be referring to the Eagles ability to flex very well and predictably.
From what I understand, the Eagle is the Patriarch of a line of discs that include the Teebird, Fireblird, and Starfire. Each of these discs has a “counter” mold that is less stable and lable with the L such as TL, FL, and SL. The eagle itself is available in two molds but has never denoted the change on the stamp of the disc like the others. Every first run CE Eagle is an EL.
