Innova Champion

Disc Golf:Innova factory seconds(aka X out)?

So the disc shop I go to sells a few innova factory seconds discs(mostly champion plastic). I was wondering if anyone out there thinks that the “defects” that forces innova to sell these discs at lower than list price really effects the disc or the flight of it? I’m so tempted to buy a new disc lately though I could go without doing so I’m almost thinking of buying a factory second. Or I may just go with a DX model of something nice like a valkyrie. Yeah basically what’s anyone’s thought on factory second discs from innova.

The Innova X-Out’s are great disc especially when you are looking to try new disc. The defects that cause them to sell at a lower price are for the most part completely cosmetic and are things such as a bubble in the disc, a double stamp or a bad coloring job, which can actually look pretty cool sometimes.

I have several molds where I have X-Outs and Regular disc and I can’t tell a single difference in the flight characteristics.

While I don’t throw much Discraft I have heard very good things about the prices of the Discraft Misprints on this website. http://www.sportdiscs.com/misprints.html. You have to purchase in bundle and can’t choose your disc but from looking online the Elite-Z’s normally cost around $13 and you can get them there for $6.

Also if you don’t want people to know you bought some X-Outs and the disc has an X-Out stamp just grab some acetone (Nail Polish Remover) and it will come right off.
