Innova Star XCaliber

Innova Star XCaliber 12 | 5 | 0 | 4

The Innova Star XCaliber is a fast, very overstable distance driver in Innova's grippy, durable Star plastic. 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 Star XCaliber delivers:

• Torque Resistance: Throw it as hard as you want and it won't flip over.
• Wind Fighter: No turn and a strong fade keep it on line in headwinds.
• Forehand Power: One of the best drivers for full power sidearm throws.
• Star Grip: Grippy Star plastic that holds on in cold or wet weather.

It excels at:

• Headwind drives that need to hold their line
• Full power forehands
• Big hyzers and dependable fade-out lines
• Skip shots that need to finish left

The Star Plastic Advantage

Star is Innova's premium opaque plastic. It's almost as durable as Champion but grips better, so it feels secure on full power throws when it's cold or wet out. It holds up to tree hits and keeps its flight a long time. Check each option and pick your exact disc right on this page.

How the XCaliber Fits in the Innova Lineup

• Vs the Champion XCaliber: Same mold and flight numbers. Firm, translucent Champion plastic, including Moondust Champion runs. It's the most durable XCaliber and stays beefy the longest.
• 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 Star XCaliber

Does the Star XCaliber fly differently than the Champion XCaliber?

They fly close to the same. Star grips better and feels a little softer in the hand. Champion is firmer and stays overstable the longest.

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.
