What is XG plastic?

[yankees23]

I have seen numerous things about XG plastic and I was wondering what it is and how it differs from other plastics.

I've fondled some XG Champ Rhynos & they are gummy & flexible

 

[NOSteveLA]

Xtra Gummy

XG=extra grip or extra gummy

It's pretty much just a gummier version of champ plastic.My xg bosses are way easier to turn than my regular ch. bosses

 

[GripEnemy]

yup, what they said....if you are comfortable with softer plastic it feels great

 

[yankees23]

I see. Thanks for the clarification guys. Sounds very enticing. Might have to go feelin some discs soon. No Homo. Well maybe a little. lol

I am not, the way I understood it was XG was an attempt to get more glide into the Boss like the first runs. A byproduct of that process was they became slightly more gummy and grippy. This process has since been put to use on other molds and I think they adapted the name to eXtra Grippy or something because it didn't really provide much extra glide as anticipated but did improve the grip.

sorry to double post, but im pretty sure you were misinformed. a poppy-top boss has more glide, regardless of plastic. if you dont mind me asking, where did you come about that info?

 

[gkeberhart]

Will Schusterick right when they made did a small demo on driving explaining them as extra glide. It was about 2 months after that they they showed up on DGV as eXtra Grippy...after it was realized they they didn't have the glide like the first runs

 

[dmalexander]

Extra glide. I asked mark from disc values and that's what he told me any way. I don't believe they are gummy, I have 3 or 4 and they don't feel much different than champion plastic.

 

[Huk Finn]

My XG Boss was gummy.

Xtra Grip...

The glide thing might have been the original intention but GRIP is what it came out to.

Case closed.....
