Anybody ever seen or thrown one? I found one yesterday and it is noticeably domier than a Z crush and looks like it will fly great. This is the first one I've ever seen.

They are also flippy. But do go a long way.
I didn't find them to be flippy, if fact, I thought they were more overstable than some of the Z's. They are faster and more distance oriented than the Z's, and a more durable alternative to the D Crush.

I have 2 of these I'm trying to unload if anyone is interested.

I think it's a great disc to have in your bag. I throw one this weekend and it was less stable than the Z-crush that I throw with it and the X-crush ended up 40ft past the Z.

I got 2 last weekend and play them as if they will flip.Maybe its just me. The D Crush I got is the most overstable disc in my bag. Its like throwing a Whippet. Although, it feels awesome and I cant wait to break it in and get some D of it.I dont have much experiance with Discraft, is there any variations between colors?

No variations in colors for the D Crush. I have only thrown orange and yellow but both were fairly stable. I have one beat in real nice but it still flexes out. These are the best drivers I have thrown since I picked up a cyclone 7 years ago.
As for the X Crush, I have not found a spot in my bag for it. I don't have any x plastic in my bag actually, cept for a first run xs that flips over in a 50 mph tailwind... :eek:

D Crushes are more overstable than Z?
How do both compare to 1st run Zs? That's the only ones I'm throwing now, and the only type I plan on throwing for a while.

D is the most overstable. Z is inconsistant. X flies like a DX Beast. I get more distance with slightly beat x-crushes than I ever did with dx beasts. Out of the box the x-c will be just stable, beat it in a little & it goes forever.

For me its the opposite... even though I have only thrown two Z crush's they are both more overstable than the d crush. The d c definitely glides better and seems to take more advantage of downwind. When I first threw my d c I threw it like the z version and it never was able to come out of its anhyzer angle. Can't wait to test the X version, i hope it closely relates to the flight of the d c but of course with longer lasting plastic
is it true that the only run made were the ones with the throw me stamp? all of them were white.

There are new runs being produced, anyone know if there is a difference between the new ones and the throw me run?
The one I found is white and has the throw me stamp on it. Very strange looking disc indeed. I threw it some today and it is awesome. Very long and straight. Better glide than the Z crush. I cranked it out past 400' a couple times. Slippery plastic though. Why they don't mass produce this disc is beyond me. It's awesome.

The mold wouldn't accept the X plastic...but they tweaked it (plastic) and now they do mass produce them...at least for tourny stamps that I know of.

Same color, same run crushes are very consistant. Maybe the archer not the arrow?
Saw some of the Pro D's, but didn't like how domey they are. One of the reason I love 1st runs is because of how they feel in my hand because of how flat they are.

I've seen standard production, non-tourney X-Crushes. Pretty nice looking. The light blue and yellow appeared similar to the memorial Crushes. The orange was pretty flat.
A side note on Memorial Crushes, the first year "throw me" discs were part of a limited amount that made it out of the warehouse, the rest were scrapped. The ones you have are legal, but just barely. All the rest shrank too much, making them too rigid and too heavy for the shrunken circumference. I would suppose that the first year's would fly a little differently than anything else.

Sure, that very well could be it, but I'm not going to go searching for a particular run or color of the Z's. I like the flatter (more overstable) ones for 300' hyzers & that doesn't come up too often on the courses I play.
How do these compare to the Flash or Pro Starfire?

Still trying to break in the D- Crush. Its went form a whippet like disc to a Firebird like flight.
The Xs are flippy as hell. I can only throw them for sky anhysers. They are really fast but I can only drive them for anything else with hyser and they still flip. They are a long ,long disc though.
