X-COM Discs

X-COM builds flying discs for competition, and the proposition is straightforward: full weight, consistent moulding, and plastic that survives a season of real use.

WFDF certification and what it guarantees

Certification by the World Flying Disc Federation means the disc meets the specification for sanctioned play — weight, diameter, rim configuration and flight characteristics all measured and within tolerance. In practice, the value is consistency: every disc in a batch flies like the last one, which is exactly what a team sharing discs across a tournament needs.

It also means the disc is legal wherever you play, which removes a question you would otherwise have to ask before a match.

The 175 g competition standard

Full weight gives enough mass to hold a line across a field and stay predictable in a crosswind, without punishing the hand on a hard catch. It is the weight the sport standardised on, and the one every regular player has calibrated their throw to.

Rim profile and grip

A consistent rim is what makes a throw repeat. X-COM discs use a moulded profile with enough depth for a firm grip on a hard throw and a clean release, which is the difference between a flight that holds its line and one that wobbles off it.

Eight colours, one of which glows

The range covers the useful spectrum, including a luminous version that charges in daylight and keeps a game going after sunset. If you play on grass in the evening, that one earns its place quickly — a bright disc is easier to track, and a glowing one is very hard to lose.

Choosing an X-COM disc

For competition or regular play, take a standard colour at full weight and buy two — matched discs mean your second throw feels like your first. For evening games, take the luminous one. For casual throwing with children, the lighter recreational discs will suit better.
