# Discraft XS The Discraft "XS" serves as a controlled fairway driver with a speed of 8, specifically designed for beginners and developing players. With a glide of 5 and fade of 3, it reliably covers mid-range distances while providing enough stability to fly predictable paths even with less refined technique. As a transitional disc between midranges and faster drivers, it’s ideal for throwers looking to experiment with overstable discs for the first time without being overwhelmed by excessive speed. Available in ESP and Z-Line plastics, it offers durable flight characteristics, while X-Line breaks in faster and transitions to S-curve flights sooner. Fresh out of the box, the "XS" flies with noticeable overstability: a turn of 0 resists unwanted flipping, while the fade of 3 ensures a reliable left finish. On flat releases, it holds a straight line before fading predictably. As it wears in, it develops a gentle S-curve—moderate turn appears earlier while the fade remains intact. This progression makes it more versatile: initially, its overstability excels for reliable hyzer throws and headwind situations, while later, turnover options and extended glide phases become available. The speed of 8 remains manageable even for arms with less power. On hyzer lines, the "XS" performs reliably with predictable fade, while anhyzer releases allow for moderate turnovers once broken in. For forehand throws, its stability ensures clean control without the risk of overturning. Beginners benefit from its forgiveness and the opportunity to experience different flight phases with a single disc. Advanced players appreciate the "XS" as a precise fairway driver for technical lines and controlled distance throws up to around 90 meters, especially in situations requiring dependable fade.
