Where are you all buying these champ 150 class Xs? I'm in Okinawa and can't exactly go to a store to inspect the difference between the L and X.
Can if you go to the Okinawa Open in February. Hero set up shop at the event last year, they had plenty to finger through. Rumor is that it might actually be on base this year instead of on the northwest side of the island.
I wouldn't have recommended a DX Eagle to you, for your overstable fairway driver. Since you like lighter weights get a Star or Champion Eagle. They will definitely have the fade your looking for. Plus they'll stay that way for along time. I wouldn't recommend GStar. GStar discs tend to be more understable than Star & Champion discs of the same mold.Hello Eagle people. A couple weeks ago I started a thread saying I throw up to 300' and wanted a fairway that could quickly beat into doing some various s-shots on hyzer and flat release, and that I was thinking 165ish DX Eagle-X. Got some confirmations that that was a sound plan and so went ahead and ordered one. I've only played two rounds with it so far, but while I actually really dig it, it doesn't have the hard fade I expected at all. I mean at low flat 250-280' shots it is pretty much the straightest disc I've ever thrown. Lasers that even usually skip straight forward instead of left. Beautiful long anhyzers that flatten out every time but never come back left at all unless the nose is up.
So did I get a freak and maybe should try again? It's definitely an X mold. Hopefully it's not just the lighter weight since I don't really like throwing heavier drivers.
Maybe try GStar? Do they start with more LSS than DX and keep it while the HSS seasons out of them?

As the Eagle beats in it doesn't lose much fade at all. It just gains turn. The newer runs of Champion Eagles tend to br pretty beefy. Champion Eagles will take a long time to gain more turn. I'd get a light Star Eagle. It will beat it up like you want.Thanks, but just to be clear, I'm not exactly look for OS. I use a Resistor for that and love it. What I'm wanting is something that has both a good bit of turn and also a good bit of fade. I was hoping/expecting a DX Eagle X would start out with no turn and lots of fade, and then lose HSS as I beat it in, while retaining the fade.

To my knowledge current production Star Eagles aren't the L Mold. If they were, I wouldn't carry a Leopard in my bag.Aren't those all L's, though? Maybe that's fine if so, I've never thrown one. I just was under the impression that they had less fade.

Thanks guys. Just saw that Marshall Street actually lists their L's and X's separately, so I grabbed a 165 Star X to try out. I feel like it will probably pair really well with my DX.
I heard SD86 throws Eagles, so I'm replacing mine with PDs/FDs
