[Innova] Whippet X vs Whippet

[mdellis1987]

Preface: I have only been playing DG since March, so bear with me. I throw 40% LHFH, 40% LHOH, and 20% LHBH. This question is in regards to my Tomahawk throwing.

When throwing OH, I usually throw Champion Wraith as I get good distance from the turnover and glide. I have played with a guy who throws a Whippet X OH, as an accurate upshot or a controlled slow turnover. When he throws the Whippet X, it barrel rolls at a much slower rate than the Wraith does and always lands on its top and slides around.

I don't want to hear about technique, snap, or release angles; I already understand these factors...

Finally, My Question:

What is the difference between a Whippet and a Whippet X? I can not find anything about the Whippet X on the Innova site...

The same thing that is different in any X and normal mold.

The X is more overstable because it has a concave wing.

Do Whippet X's usually have a different stamp or look that differentiates them from the regular Whippets? I can not recall ever seeing a Whippet X in a store...

The Whippet X can be identified with a "WX" penned in on the underside rather than a "W"

WX's are usually molded in Champion plastic and have tournament or club stamps on them. There was a production run of "CE" Whippet X's but they are really expensive because there were only 1000 molded.

I am not aware of there being any "WX" Whippets in baseline plastic but the DX Whippet is still pretty dang overstable. I'd give one of those a try for starters.

I think the DX was changed to WX at some point.

I stand corrected! I just don't know much about baseline plastic to begin with lol.

Just picked up two DX Whippet-X from PIAS. I needed an overstable fairway to compliment my gazelles and something to have several stages of over stability eventually.

Meathook. And I love it.

I have a dx whippet x WX penned on the bottom

Im pretty sure all whippets now are the x mold. Bc my dx is definatly an x too. Ive never even seen a regular mold whippet.

A discing buddy of mine knows that I used to like to throw Whippets back in the day. He recently sent me the pic (attached below). Is this old news and I missed something?

New run came out a week or two ago on the pro shop. They have sold out/restocked a couple times now with all the color options.

Profile looks relatively flat.

The X is more overstable because it has a concave wing.

AviarX and rocX3 don't fit the pattern. The whippet I believe also had just a nose configuration change to get the X designation.
