Westside Disc Golf First Run VIP Giant Reborn Distance Driver 12/6/-0.5/2
SKU: DG-WD-FRVIP-GIARE (REF2738-7)
Description
The Westside VIP Giant Reborn distance driver is a large-diameter, glidey distance driver, molded in VIP plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on controlled lines with endless glide. This listing is the First Run release of the Giant Reborn. It's from the very first production run.
VIP Plastic
VIP is Westside's flagship premium plastic: translucent, extremely durable, and built to hold its flight through heavy use. It's comparable to Latitude 64's Opto and Dynamic Discs' Lucid, and in the same mold it tends to fly slightly more overstable than Tournament and hold that stability longer.
The Mold
Reimagined with a larger diameter and built for exceptional glide, the Giant Reborn carves controlled lines with confidence. It has a smooth release, subtle turn, and dependable fade for a balanced flight. While it carries the Giant name, it's an entirely new disc.
Stability
The Giant Reborn is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 12 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| Turn | -0.5 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Westside Giant Reborn good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 12 speed, the Giant Reborn needs good arm speed to fly as intended.
Is the Westside Giant Reborn overstable?
Not really. The Giant Reborn is stable, rated 12/6/-0.5/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between VIP and Tournament plastic?
VIP is translucent, the most durable, and slightly more overstable. Tournament is opaque and grippier, especially in cold or wet weather.
Does the First Run Giant Reborn fly differently than the standard Giant Reborn?
No. It's the same Giant Reborn mold, rated 12/6/-0.5/2. What's different is the stamp, edition, and plastic, which can change the feel and grip a little.
What disc is similar to the Westside Giant Reborn?
The Westside VIP Sword (12/5/-0.5/2) is a user-friendly, line-holding distance driver.
How far does the Westside Giant Reborn fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 395 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
