XS vs. XL

[SeanMeacham]

I need help in understanding if there is a difference between the Discraft XS and the XL in the Elite Z plastic? The XS (1.5) has been my go to disc for some time, and unfortunately lost it the other night. I did however receive an XL in Elite Z plastic (1.5) in my misprint package. Can anyone help me to understand the differences, if there are any???

Thank you for the help!

It's just a tad more understable than the xl. How does it throw for you?

 

[SeanMeacham]

So you are saying the XL is more overstable than the XS? I have thrown the XL once so far, and it seems to be flying a little farther then my old xs, but seems to be more understable?? I don't know.......

They should be similar.

Joe's Universal Flight Chart, which I find to be very accurate lists the XS as a little bit more understable. The interesting part about that for Joe is that the range of the XS is one step up from the XL.

If I were you I would probably go and get another XS.

Wow!!! That flight chart is great. I just printed it off and am going to keep it in my bag.

I love my XS it is the best mid to mid-long thumber i have ever thrown. It is the best disc in my bag. The XL is good as well but the XS is just a little more consistent.

I haven't had an XS in a while but I used to throw an Elite Z XS alot and at the same time I was using an Elite X XL. I remember the XS being easier to turnover while the XL always has been for me more of a hold the line kind of flight.

ones bigger than the other...personally i prefer a Large

For me, the XS seems more overstable then the XL, but that was in a different plastic.

i threw the xl then stepped up to the xs, the XS doesn't turn over as easy and flys further, my Z XS is my main driver, deadly straight for my strength which is around 300ft. my xl has become a roller and anhyzer disc

i found the XS to be more overstable than the XL - the XL had very little fade at the end of its flight - i need to buy another

I really like my XS and goes really far and straight for me. My go to disc for tunnel shots. I used to have an XL but lost it before I really got a feel for it.

I use the XL for all shots a little under 300' and tight fairways.

The XL is a bit slower than the XS. The XL is more of a longer control driver and the XS is a slower distance driver. If you're more familiar with Innova it's like comparing a TL (XL) to a Viking (XS).

 

[SeanMeacham]

Awesome advice guys....I probably should just go get a new XS, but I am cheap as hell. I may just give the XL a shot and see how it works for me.

I like my XL. Great fairway driver and pretty accurate.
