Picked up a XG Boss today. Interested to throw it at least a few times, never really thrown a boss before. If I don't like it, it will go up on the wall

Oh man! I'd really like one of those. What weights are they?
the stars appear to be 157-159
both my champs are 159
I am about 1 hour away from getting in my first throws with the champ
the stars are nice

welllllllll
the bubble champ ultra light asia open destroyers are NOT stable
in fact they are flippy
I may not have the best form and I may have OAT but I'm pretty sure that I released mostly flat and these things went right (rhbh)
I threw a big sky anhyzer on a hole and it went a long way and I'm pretty certain that it held the anhyzer the whole way
useful in combination with the star but nothing like the star
Mr. Plow if you are looking for an ultra long distance tail wind driver it is likely the this disc

I was about to PM you and ask about their flight, so this is good to know. I was thinking I'd order a couple, but given the fact they're understable I may just get one and see if I like it. I don't like getting discs that are understable out of the box because once they beat in they're not as useful any more. Thanks for the info!ManU said:
BTW, I've thrown that "Super Stable" Lightweight Star Destroyer from Hero quite a bit more, and it's VERY beefy. I've been bombing a few of my glidier newish Pro Destroyers further than anything else lately, and this disc won't even come close to touching that kind of distance. I have a tendency to release a DS with just a touch of anny and usually it will straighten out, and if you do that with this disc it will hold that hyzer all the way to the ground. It does get some monster skips though. I'm going to continue to field throw it until it's a little more broken in and then probably put it in my bag.

It throws just like every one Champ EX I've had. Pretty stable and a moderate amount of glide.

I did get one, however I have yet to throw it. I would tend to agree with FrankD though as he is the Eagle maestro. As a side note the new run EagleX with the ratings on the stamp are super dooper. Very opaque, extremely grippy and nicely domed up, such sweet fliers.

Nicer than the Star EX?

I enjoy the new champ eaglex much more than the star. Better grip and more dome which equals a lil more glide. Plus I like the way they break in better.

I finally got mine, and had a chance to throw them a couple days ago. I was field throwing and only had the chance to get in 2 throws before dark, but they seemed a little more stable than I expected (though still "understable"). I put the first throw on a pretty decent hyzer and it flipped up some but not to flat, and then faded pretty hard at the end. Second throw I released on a very slight hyzer, and it was nearly dark so I couldn't see the entire flight path... but I found it on the ground almost straight in front of me so it had to have hyzer flipped. So I'm thinking these are maybe in the Valk stability range? If this is the case I'm stoked, I was expecting more of a Roadrunner like flight. The weather's too crappy here to do any more field throwing, but as soon as the rain stops I'm going to go out and throw them some more.johnc99 said:
