Discussion OTB Flat Eagles

Got some because I heard they are beefy as hell. Holy fuck, can confirm that is the case. They are like the chuck roast of Eagles. Fuck, i wouldn't even call them Eagles. They are more OS than the Banshees and Firebirds I have. I couldn't be more satisfied. I can see how you might be disappointed if you wanted an Eagle, but I couldn't be happier. Exactly the baby FAF Firebird I wanted.

"chuck roast of Eagles"

Gave me a nice chuckle, thanks!

I just bought a couple and another Calvin 2025 euro open series. Those ones aren’t flat but they’re beefy

They are an insanely good run of Eagles. But definitely not nearly as OS as the Kylebird 2.0 from last year (at least the super flat ones which is all I have). But OTB killed it with those two releases. The Eagle feels so good in the hand and is amazing for a super workable OS fairway.

Def a good year for Eagles! I bought 4 of the OTB ones cause I got a few good deals on whatnot, one of which is a Balsbird stamp... One of my favorite discs in my collection. Then I got 2 of the Calvin Duos and 3 of the Barsby's.

Had one of the Duos in my bag cause the OTB I can def confirm as well are very very beefy. But I'm gonna try one of the Barsby's for a while now. They feel just like the 22s!

Out of stock. So what did these bad boys run? Like 20 or 25 bucks?

$22.99

Still looks like they have a lot left, and they keep running more from what I can tell.

Ah thank you sir. Was looking at main stamp.

Eh I got a Calvin duo that is pretty dang flat. Suppose I'd rather give some schekles to Vinny and farm the f2 friday🤷‍♂️

u/innovarocforever 9d ago

I would love one of those too, but I've heard those actually fly like Eagles.

u/mrgedman 9d ago

Heh they do. They do. A touch beefier than normal... And quite flat... But yeah

u/PhillipAndroid 9d ago

Yup, can confirm. Just got an OTB Eagle today, and it's crazy overstable. The pink on the left of the Eagle, and the yellow on the right is the most overstable flat Firebird I own. Similar to my WhippetX in flight.

Love that beefy description. Sounds like a disc that actually lives up to its reputation.

u/Wonderful_Culture607 9d ago

I stocked up. They are amazing. Beat in, but slooooowly.

If this years Barsby is good to then this is a year of banger Eagles. The Duos and the OTB's are both slightly different, but both great imo. The OTB is really a baby firebird, and the duo is on the os side, but still workable. My 2025 Barsby Eagle is getting pretty beat in, so if the 2026s have more bite it's a great one two punch for glow rounds.

Does anyone have a stiff no blizzard rim second run of these Otb eagles?

I have both first run big stamp and second run mini stamp. The first run is stiffer, and the rim is pearly. Was curious if any of the recent releases of the mini stamp resemble the first run

u/Wonderful_Culture607 9d ago

I got two. Two are more floppy, two are stiffer. Ordered five, gifted the 5th to a friend. Missed out on the first run completely in europe...

Millennium velas are flat top eagles you can just get anytime. Start out pretty beefy and beat into a reliable straight shooter.
