XDISC is the one and only direct descendent of the PYRA-DISC (later referred to as
STARDISC) which was a popular gaming disc for kids in the Rocky Mountain Region
during the 1970's and early 80's. The US Utility Patent for those trademarked names
introduced center-pivot flying discs to the world in 1978— consequently, the marketing
company representing them fell into hard times in 1982, with PYRA-DISC/STARDISC
being one of their casualties. Like a Phoenix rising from its ashes, XDISC was re-
designed from the ground up and made huge strides in product development. Now, the
original patent holder of the PYRA-DISC/STARDISC has brought the design back,
updating its performance and obtaining new patents and trademarks. We began
marketing XDISC in 2012 through a new company, Ai Productions, Inc. and the
company’s name was changed to Xaipros, Inc. in 2015.
The XDISC spins faster, flies higher and longer with more stability than its ancestor ever
could— not to mention it now gives users the ability to perform countless tricks, spins,
and free style moves. This was accomplished by designing and incorporating a concave
flight-plate and a center pyramid that stabilizes the disc, making it more aerodynamic
and easier to throw and perform tricks with. We think XDISC is one of the most
fascinating new gaming objects created in a long, long time, and in fact, we found we
just couldn’t put it down! The XDISC design integrates beaucoup aerodynamic
principles that make it a truly unique flying disc due to its stability, accuracy, and the
sloping wing design which provides natural hand positioning—making it super easy to
throw and perform your own freestyle moves.
With that being said, it has been
awesome to hear from so many adults who loved PYRA-DISC/STARDISC as children,
and Xaipros Inc. is proud to continue the tradition and improve upon the PYRA-
DISC/STARDISC legacy with XDISC.
