Innova Champion XCaliber 12 | 5 | 0 | 4
The Innova Champion XCaliber is a fast, very overstable distance driver in Innova's firm, translucent Champion plastic. This page also has Moondust Champion runs. 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.

Flight Numbers
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.

The Champion Plastic Advantage
Champion is Innova's firm, translucent premium plastic and the most durable plastic they make. It takes tree hits without getting too beat up, so a Champion XCaliber keeps its hard fade for a long time. The Moondust Champion discs are a special Champion blend with a speckled, shimmery look, and they fly the same as regular Champion. Check each option and pick your exact disc right on this page.
How the XCaliber Fits in the Innova Lineup
- Vs the Star XCaliber: Same mold and flight numbers. Grippy, opaque Star plastic. It grips better on cold or wet days and feels a little softer in the hand.
- Vs the Innova Destroyer: The Destroyer (12 | 5 | -1 | 3) is the same speed with a little high speed turn and a softer finish. The XCaliber has no turn and a harder fade, so it's the one for headwinds and full power forehands.
- Vs the Innova Firebird: The Firebird (9 | 3 | 0 | 4) is the slower, easier to throw wind fighter. Grab it for shorter utility shots and the XCaliber when you need the distance.
- Vs the Discraft Force: The Force (12 | 5 | 0 | 3) is another fast, overstable driver. The XCaliber has a wider rim and fades harder at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Innova Champion XCaliber
Does Moondust Champion fly differently than regular Champion?
No. Moondust Champion is a special-look Champion blend, so it flies and wears the same. You're just picking the look you like.
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.
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.
