"The ESP XL is a terrific beginner and expert friendly disc that flies straight with very little fade. In the Northeast where trees rule the fairways, the ESP XL is king because it is an accurate, straight flying, controllable driver that is now made in the durable, grippy ESP plastic."
-Adam Goodman

I use this disc for very accurate drives. Most of them are from left to right as the XL is an understable disc, but it's very, very accurate and doesn't fly as fast as some other discs, which makes it easier to control.

"Whatever your skill level, throwing the XL is a must. It is the "thread though the woods", "what did you just throw", "do you have any for sale" disc. Beginners: master this disc before you try to learn a super high speed driver."
-Jon Drummond

"This is an old favorite and I still consider it to be my most controllable driver. With its comfortable rim and deliberate flight, this disc just doesn't allow you to make big mistakes. A great driver for those just getting into the game."
-Scott Papa
