    The Discraft Xpress is a great first distance driver made by Discraft. This understable disc helps newer golfers get more distance by reducing the fade to the left (for right handed players throwing backhanded). The Xpress is also one of the best discs for learning to throw rollers. Discraft gives this disc a stability rating of -1 in Elite X plastic. In the more durable Elite-Z plastic, the Xpress is a stable disc that has a stability rating of 0. This disc is available in super colorful dyed plastic for just a few extra dollars.

    I have always been a huge fan of the Elite-X Xpress. It is the Discraft Sidewinder but actually shows the turn off the shelf unlike a lot of plastics for the Sidewinder. A fantastic beginner disc and a good neutral to understable control driver for those with lesser arm speeds.

    So I was absolutely thrilled when Ledgestone decided to do a run in ESP. With the Xpress functionally being out of production and elite X seemingly a thing of the past, I was excited to pick up some of these great drivers in a premium plastic.

    I did so and at first, I was actually disappointed. I even shelved them after a few rounds and sold off some of the backups I had bought. It felt like Discraft had developed a case of the Innovas... a premium plastic version of a disc that flew completely different. While I expect premium plastic to be more overstable, these only showed a hint of turn. And for an understable control driver, that is not exactly what I was looking for.

    However, the Xpress stayed in the back of my head for some reason. After a few more weeks, I decided to try the ESP Tour Series Xpress again. As I put them through the paces, still a tiny bit irked about the reduced turn, I noticed something. These discs went STRAIGHT.

    While they had a tiny bit more fade than I was used to out of the Elite-X version, it was not a lot more. Maybe these did not have the premium plastic curse, wear good understable base plastic discs just turn into glideless, dumpy bricks. As I tested them more and brought them back out to the course, I realized that the ESP Xpress was still a great control driver.

    The ESP Xpress is a great neutral to stable control driver. I think the 8 speed is right on. I would say the glide is 4, it does not carry quite like the Elite X do. As stated, it turns much less and I would rate that at -1. The fade I am going to keep as a 1. It finishes but it does not dump out or fade out, it penetrates gently to the left for a right hand backhand throw.
