As the title suggests I am wondering what you think is the Discraft equivalent to Innova's XD?
Thanks.
Don't laugh, but I find a worn in Classic Roc fairly similar. Other than that, I would say the Aero, Anode, Dart, or Spike would be fairly similar but not really the same..
I'm not sure you're gonna find one. I assume that's why it's been around for somethin like 25 years.
My XD's are quite a bit flatter than any Classic Roc I've thrown. But the low rim profile is similar. Never thrown a Spike or Anode, but the Aero and Dart was like throwin a salad bowl... especially compared to an XD.
Why do you want other options? If you love the XD just throw it. It's not like they are OOP or anything. I've never really understood why people want to find an alternative to a disc they already throw. If you throw the XD well, why would you want to swap?
Well, two good reasons are that Innova can't seem to control quality very well, and the latest few runs of dx plastic suck hard. The new ones fly ok, but they've got dome and it changes them a bit. For me, it was mostly about plastic quality. You can get glo champ XDs but they're not as neutral and have little glide.
Overall, the Spike is the best replacement if you can handle the deeper profile.

There are no other options.

nothing is an XD. don't bother looking for an equivalent, you won't find one.

the rim really isn't much deeper on the spike. i don't know that i've held a disc that feels more similar to an XD, other than the classic roc
There is nothing like an XD. They ran some in the late 90's with the bullet stamp that are the best feeling plastic I have ever thrown. Feels like a mix of Pro and DX. I have three and I am always looking for more. Most of the time you can get them for under $20 but finding the right run is the hard part.
I LOVE XD's...
I have been throwing Spikes a bit because it is the most similar disc you are going to get in feel and flight. They are a bit more stable but not much.
Are you guys still trying to figure out that there is no Discraft equivalent to the XD?

Eh, I don't care so long as Innova keeps making XD's.I really wanted last years ace race disc to be the one, sadly it was not even close. This is a hole in Discrafts line-up that should be filled IMO.
