Westside Disc Golf Elasto Tursas Midrange Disc 5/5/-2/1 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-E-TUR (REF2108-5)
Description
The Westside Elasto Tursas midrange is Westside's most controllable midrange, molded in Elasto plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on learning anhyzers and gliding straight. Westside Discs is a Finnish brand known for mythology-inspired mold names, molded at Latitude 64's factory in Sweden as part of the Trilogy family alongside Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs.
Elasto Plastic
Elasto is Westside's flexible premium blend: transparent, rubbery, and pliable, with excellent grip in cold weather where stiffer plastics turn uncomfortable. Elasto discs land softer and skip less, which makes them strong for approaches.
The Mold
The Tursas is designed with the everyday player in mind. Its shallower grip makes it great for smaller hands, it helps newer players learn the anhyzer, and for lower speed arms it glides straight for as long as it's in the air.
Stability
The Tursas is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
