Yes but... if durability is an issue look for a flatter top ESP.. I play on rockpiles that eat the new "X" plastic, also probably less than -174g as a starting point.
X is pretty durable...it took about a year or so of use before mine became "flippy," and Comet flippy is awesome. They do that slow turn thing beat Rocs do.
While I agree with Streets...took me well over a year to season an X to turnover and I think X Comets are fantastic, I have played ThrawaEnvy's home course and 100% understand his concerns. That place is NASTY rocky and will chew up anything. I didn't even throw a lot of my normal discs when I was there because I didn't want to destroy them.
Waaaa Waaaa! I didn't know you had been out this way.. Do I know you? Did you make it to my place for the doubles?
No it's been like 4-5 years since I was there, we did a group camping trip on the island. Best course ever for people new to the game too...the bad luck and crazy kicks you can get is so comical with friends. What was a general camping trip that I brought extra discs to, turned into a disc golf weekend for everyone.
But that course definitely eats plastic for breakfast haha
Try the X-Comet first! I think the X is best for anyone's first Comet.

Yeah x plastic, DX and electron has a limited lifespan.. 2 months on 3 soft E Envys and they are Proxyish.. My 4 year old first proton isn't as straight yet as a fresh electron... my "9" used for a few throws is a 8- haha.
Flat ESP for me..
I have never thrown anything in Elite X plastic before, in the past it's always been either ESP or Elite Z.
I'm getting pretty excited to get out and try everything out.

Wow, this thread is amazing.. 142 pages and counting.
I'm in. My distance wasn't much to begin with (~330), but it's started to even regress lately to ~300. By eliminating high speed drivers, my hope is to focus more on technique and precision. Also want to commit to more field work. It's not as fun as playing a round, but playing a round is not as fun if you're not as good.
Going forward, my bag:
2 Wizards
2 Rocs
2 Explorers
I've been taking on my local course with mostly a Wizard, Buzzz and Buzzz OS and it's been a fun experience. I really only use drivers on 2-3 holes out there but I've been able to reach one of those holes by pushing the Buzzz further.
I've come to realize I really don't enjoy drivers lol.
One of the local pitch and putts has 9 baskets with 18 tee pads ranging in distance from 150 to 400ft. I love to take 4 different putter molds and just play a round keeping score of each. A few of the guys I know think this sounds boring because they can't rip on discs, but I think it's a blast!
