[Question] ID a disc or ask "What is the story on this disc...?"

[NumSkul]

I haven't seen the name stamped like this before. Any info about it? Worth anything?

So I've got a Huk Lab Star Destroyer that I got a while ago. It's always been crazy overstable, and that was generally just my experience with Destroyers (my other one is a champ glo CFR). Recently, I've had people tell me they can't believe it's that overstable, especially now that it's fairly beat up. This last weekend, I had a guy at a tournament ask me if it was a nightshift. I said no, I thought all the nightshifts were blue. I threw it again and he asked if he could look at it. He said it was a nightshift, they were rare blah blah, Huk Lab sold a bunch yadda yadda. Got me thinking if it was a nightshift and I got to looking online to see if there's any way to tell. I couldn't find anything. So that brings me here...with the question...is there any way to tell if it's a nightshift destroyer or not? Thanks.

nightshifts are all blue with SDS on the bottom.

now nightshifts are blue versions of starlite plastic at max weight.

starlite added to make discs in lower weights but still fill the mold. u can see little sparkles on the top/rim.

so if you have a blue starlite with innova stamp then you have a nightshift. bottom says S/DS probably 175 weight too.

if you have a different color S/DS destroyer most likely between 165 and 168 with the sparkles you have a starlite.

one is 150 dollars the other 15 or now more like 20 dollars.....until innova makes destroyers correctily again.

Innova back in the 90's didn't mark the discs with an abbreviation like they do now. A lot of times when you made an order of custom stamped discs they would come with that stamp on the bottom to help people know what the disc was. It was pretty common, nothing special.

Any one know.the history of magnets ...i have one that has a tourney stamp from 1993 so i.figured it has to be one of the first ones made??? It has no tooling

 

[moose-mdg]

Ok, so I was wondering if someone could share some info with me. I know it is a Discraft Z XS, but the stamp is different than I have ever seen. The plastic in the flightplate feels pretty sticky and will take fingerprints, but the rim doesn't. There is no tooling on the inside rim.

Does the plastic feel that way just due to age or was that an older run of Z that just felt different? Anything special about the disc other than a unique stamp?

The second picture is what is left of the stamp and simply says:

Discraft Elite-Z-XS PDGA Approved
Licensed under US Patent No. (then the number is pretty unreadable)

It's just the older stamp. I don' think the mold changed.

Pretty sure they're Star, but I could be wrong.

J for Jaguar? They were large diameter, understable. I have no idea if they ran in premium plastics...I've only seen dx. This is the best pic I could find of one...no side profiles. http://www.discgolfcenter.com/main_displayProduct.php?p=59
