  • Speedi 9

    The first number is the speed of the disc. It can range from 1-14. Putters are rated 1-3 and are designed to function at low speeds any player can use. Mid range discs are 4-5 and require more speed when thrown to achieve their desired results. A fairway driver will be speed 6-8, these discs fly mostly straight. Discs that are speed 9 and above are classified as distance drivers. Throwing a distance driver takes a significant amount of power to get up to speed, players are rewarded with additional distance if they learn to control these discs. New players are cautioned that speed does not equal distance. Due to the difficulty of controlling higher speed discs, a beginner could find that a light weight disc with a speed of 6 or 7 could fly farther for them than a max distance driver with a speed of 13. In fact most new players should learn by throwing putters only so they can develop the proper form. After a few weeks they'll begin to get reliable results and are ready ×

  • glidei 3

    This second rating is numbered 1 – 6. Glide describes a disc’s ability to remain in flight. Discs with higher glide ratings will fly further than discs rated lower in this category. A high glide rating is good when the goal is distance, but can have the wrong effect for putts and approach shots. Sometimes overshooting the basket can be worse than not making it far enough. Low glide ratings such as 1 or 2 are popular with upshot putters because they don't fly for distance but for a little extra control. Glide is different for different kinds of discs as well. A putter with a glide of 4 will stay airborne much longer than distance drivers with a glide of 4 ×

  • Turni 0

    Third in Innova’s flight rating system is turn. Turn is rated from 1 to -5?, with -5 being the most understable. The lower the numer, the more striking turn will result. A newer, slower-throwing disc golfer using an understable disc with a ‘high’ negative turn rating will enjoy great distance, as the disc isn’t going to fade as quickly. Also, players whose farthest throw is 200 feet or less probably won’t notice any turn in the flightpath. Once a player gets more speed and power, they will see their understable discs start turning to the right at the beginning of the flight before fading to the left at the end. Discs rated -4 or -5 are popularly used for rollover or roller throws by experienced players. Some discs have 0 turn which means that they'll start to fade when they run out of speed during the flight and at no point will they turn. It's important to carry at least one disc with a high turn rating in your bag for rounds. ×

  • Fadei 4

    This last rating category ranges from 0 to 5; with a disc rated 0 being the straightest finishing, while a disc rated 5 fading the most during the last portion of the flight. Even discs rated lowest in turn will still ‘fade’ as the disc slows at the end of the flight. A disc with a higher fade rating is useful for a hole with a dogleg. Straight finishing discs are great for control, discs with little fade are normal. If you're a Right-hand backhand thrower you'll find that almost every disc wants to fade to the left at the end of your flight. Discs with a 4 or 5 fade rating are excellent in heavy winds. They sacrifice a little of the distance but make sure that the disc won't do anything unexpected. Discs with a low fade are more susceptible to being affected by the wind. ×

Product Description

The Hailey King 2022 Tour Series Halo Firebird is an overstable disc that's perfect for forehand or backhand. It's the utility disc that gives you confidence that the disc will always hyzer out. The stamp features a bird on fire with a crown made of flames, perfect for a King. The Halo on the outside gives it that signature look and name. It's a combination of lots of overstability and power, you're not going to overpower this disc.

The flight path of the Firebird is straight for as long as it has power. Many players use this as a flex shot disc because it takes a lot of power to get this to cut through the air. This is not your maximum distance driver, it's going to be what you can rely on to always fade out though. The Firebird is a choice for many woods players who have specific shot shapes that they're looking to create. Whether that's high flex shots, skip shots, or even rollers, the Firebird with its very overstable nature helps you do any of those. When thrown level it will dump into a hyzer after it slows down. The range on this disc is about 100-300 feet unless you're a professional player. It fights the wind pretty hard, so if you're in those blustery days in Spring or Fall and don't know what to throw, pull out the Firebird and be sure you're going where you want.

Star Halo plastic from Innova is their most overstable premium blend of plastic. It's got that tacky and grippy feel to it and it's going to last you a very long time as well. It's what pros throw on the disc golf pro tour on many of their drives because it works, and it's flying all over the world in different kinds of weather.

The 2022 Halo Hailey Firebird is an excellent disc. The stamp is cool, people have been waiting (impatiently) for a halo firebird ever since the plastic came out! It's a great choice for sidearm throwing, overhead throws, and it's designed to always hyzer. But more than just being a sweet disc, it also helps support Hailey King as she tours the world throwing plastic. You get an awesome disc, and you can help support a fellow disc golfer and the 2022 USWDGC champion at the same time! Snag one of these discs today and get some superior speed and firepower in your bag!
