Innova XCaliber
The Complete Innova XCaliber Collection Hub
The XCaliber is one of Innova's most overstable distance drivers. The XCaliber is extremely fast with glide and stability. It achieves maximum distance when thrown low, flat and hard, and it's the one for confident bombs in windy conditions. It has the stability to let players with a lot of power throw it as hard as they want. It's a great disc for sidearm throwers, it can handle headwinds and throws with off axis torque, and it's definitely not designed for beginning players. This hub has every XCaliber we stock.

Understanding the Flight Dynamics & Stability
The XCaliber flies 12 | 5 | 0 | 4. The 0 turn means it won't turn over no matter how hard you throw it, backhand or forehand, and the 4 fade brings it back hard at the end. It has enough glide to carry a long way when you throw it low and flat, but it needs speed to get there, so slower arms will just see it fade early. The wide rim takes a little getting used to if you have smaller hands. It's 21.1 cm across and 1.6 cm tall with a 1.2 cm rim depth and a wide 2.3 cm rim, and it was PDGA approved on March 13, 2008.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |

Choose the Right XCaliber Plastic
Each plastic offers a different feel:
- Champion XCaliber - Firm, translucent and the most durable XCaliber, including Moondust Champion runs. It stays beefy the longest.
- Star XCaliber - Grippy and opaque, Innova's premium Star plastic holds on in cold or wet weather.
How the XCaliber Plays on the Course
Reach for the XCaliber on headwind drives, full power forehands, big hyzers and skip shots. Heavier discs, around 172 to 175 grams, are the most stable and the best in wind. For a little more glide and a softer finish at the same speed, try the Innova Destroyer. For a slower wind fighter that's easier to throw, grab the Innova Firebird.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Innova XCaliber
Why is the XCaliber so good in the wind?
With 0 turn and a 4 fade, it doesn't flip over when a headwind lifts it, and it always finishes with a hard fade. That makes it one of the most dependable drivers to throw into the wind.
Which XCaliber plastic should I get?
Champion is the most durable and stays overstable the longest. Star grips better in cold or wet weather. Moondust Champion flies the same as Champion with a speckled, shimmery look.
Is the XCaliber good for beginners?
No. It's built for players with a lot of power. Slower arms won't get it up to speed, so it will just fade out early. Newer players will get more distance from something like the Innova Leopard3 or Mamba.
