Xcaliber is wicked. Flies like a Star TeeRex X, always coming back. Definitely not as much distance as the Star TeeRex X, or Star Destroyer, but it has surely got the speed and glide.

Does this Xcaliber not fly as far as the Destroyer or TeeRex because it is so overstable? I have the Max and was curious on the Xcaliber but I am not sure there would be a lot of difference between the Max.

As I have thrown this disc more I've found that distance can be achieved. It took me a little bit to get used to the stability, but it is by far the best wind driver out there, imo. There is a significant difference between the Xcal and Max. The Xcal has definitely got more of consistent flight pattern (I now have 4 of these discs) compared to the Max (I have 4 of these also). I found that disc-to-disc the Max is fairly inconsistent. I have 2 that I can anhyzer and 2 that knife out like a Speed Demon. Still love the Max, but Xcal is taken over. I think that it has helped me to get out and just throw the Xcal in open fields to get an understanding of what it's capabilities are (and there are a bunch). This disc is going nowhere fast if you don't carry the arm speed necessary to get it spinning good. The Xcal was my go-to disc during Gr8tful at Sundance. I got within 60-75 feet of the valley shot(can't remember what hole 14/15?) in a headwind!!!! So what I'm saying is, that if you feel you have the arm speed and power, want a dependable overstable disc, the Xcal is for you. Hope that helped, Jeff S

Thank you for the feedback. I will have to pick up the Xcaliber and see how it works for me. The Max works fairly well for me but it does have a tendency to knife edge and break a lot. I use it situationally when I want a big break and a bit shorter off the tee.
