I'm not impressed with the eBay prices.

I have two....... an orange Asia Open & yellow X-out. Just my name/number inked on 'em. $40+shipping.

my 170 champ xd doesnt fly anything like my 175 dx xd
it doesnt seem to have as much glide as the dx and just falls out of the sky
and i always seem to throw it into the dirt

Aviar XD Information Needed

Hello DGCR, I tried searching for this with no luck but if someone wants to prerube me then feel free.
I really like my XD's as a driving and approach disc, not so much as a putter. I know lots of you guys love your aviars. I really would like some info on the aviar xd. It's my understanding that the xd, aviar, and the aviar xd are three different discs. Is this true or am I just misinformed? Second question is what would be the difference between these discs? Third question, is the aviar xd still in production and if not then when did they stop making it?
Thanks, Joe

[BogeyNoMore]

Alright, now were getting somewhere. Anyone else have some info for me?

 

[MasterJoda]

I can't tell you about 'em, but they're out there:

If those are yours then could you tell me what markings are on the back? Might be from before they marked the back.

not mine - google searched "Aviar XD."

I always thought they were just really early versions of the XD (a modified Aviar) so nothing different aside from the stamp. The name XD meaning (E)xtra Distance is accurate though. Jay Dub would probably be the man to talk to about this. He's a pretty faithful thrower and recently bid adieu to one of his oldest ones.

8-31-11 is not very recent lol...and that was a dtw bullet xd..not an aviar xd

 

[apdrvya]

correction, xd has a bead, aviar xd does not.

I guess I thought it wasn't so long ago. He mentions later in the thread that he has replacements, but they are Aviar XDs not DTW XDs. What's different besides the stamp?

And Apdrvya, are you sure about that? It doesn't look like the current XD has a bead. Is it a micro bead like small bead Aviars?

 

[THE GOV'NA]

ontario xds have a bead but www. mold doesnt

 

[MasterJoda]

My bullet stamp ontario has a bead. My others are newer, pre flight#, marked ontario and don't have a bead

STOP!!! STOP!!! THIS THREAD IS MAKING ME CRAZY!!!

Edit to remove more of my speculatin'.

3P, when are you getting your Maven banner?

 

[Three Putt]

The "Aviar XD" discs are just the early XD's. The XD is a low-profile 'Xtra Distance" version of the Aviar. At some point they just started stamping them as XD's.

 

[Three Putt]

In the beginning, the XD was a San Marino-tooled beadless disc. At some point in the late 80's/early 90's it was retooled using a new Ontario core and the small bead Aviar wing. A few years ago they went back to the beadless wing. So there are beadless and small bead XD's out there.

There are also big bead XD's. They are called Classic Rocs.

That answered all three of my questions and knowing is half the battle.
Thanks Three Putt
