I have not played with it much. It is for sure more stable then the XS.

It was pretty windy tonite, so it was hard to tell. I would say close to the Z, but a tad less stable :?:

More info in the near future.

The disc is going to Nebraska.


Here is a quick review of the disc if anyone is interested.


ESP XL-

Exactly what I want in an XL with the added great feel and grip of ESP plastic. Flies just like a worn Z XL. Throw it high and hard and it will flip and ride a great anhyzer line. Throw it low and firm with a little hyzer and it will flip up and ride a great straight line all the way to the target.

Meteor-

This disc was a pleasant surprise. The plastic felt more firm then the Ace Race Meteors. The disc performed more stable, maybe because of the plastic? It is probably still to flippy for bigger arms. For newer players, younger players, and people with less then 300 foot arms. This disc could be a good all around midrange and upshot disc.

" For newer players, younger players, and people with less then 300 foot arms. This disc could be a good all around midrange and upshot disc." This definitely applies to me, but....I LOVE THIS DISC!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a newbie and I can throw it hyzer, anhyzer whatever line. It's almost like a little mini buzz for "small arms" Just my 2cents.......It's also much more predictible than the ace race discs were.

Back in the day ('98-ish?) the XL (& X2) changed the face of disc golf...forever. Innova countered with the Eagle, and later the Tee Bird...some quality history there, for sure!

This variety of XL brings back memories of 1st run elite pro (in flight )made from better plastic.A great down wind/anhyzer disc holds and holds that glide angle .lots of float.I use it interchangeably with my Squall for longmidrange/3/4 power drives that go straight a longgg way.longer and easier than a Buzz.

These things are sick!

I am not a fan of the Stamp. I wish they would just do a simple small XL or big Discraft.

After the first time I used mine, the Z XL was out of the bag.

The week wife had Emery I toyed with it a bit at Herman hill. I threw it on several shots.

I put hole 3 with in 15 feet of the pin on a long anhzyer.
I put hole 4 below the pin next to the hard wood tree. With an air shot under the pine.
What ever hole is after the bathrooms. I put it on the pin on an EZ little touch anhyzer.
Then I turned the crap out of it on the next pin. It turned low and hard and ended up to the right of the pin.

I was playing the course that has hole 1 as the longer pad.

It is a going to be a hot disc.
