Westside Disc Golf Origio Burst Hatchet Fairway Driver 9/6/-2/1 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-ORB-HAT (REF963-9)
Description
The Westside Origio Burst Hatchet fairway driver is a user-friendly, glidey fairway driver, molded in Origio Burst plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on frozen-rope lines, anhyzers, and rollers. 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.
Origio Burst Plastic
Origio is the least expensive plastic Westside makes, the counterpart to Latitude 64's Retro and Dynamic Discs' Prime. It's affordable, grippy out of the box, and quick to beat in toward a more understable, workable flight, a smart choice for learning or for wooded and water-lined courses. Burst mixes swirled color through the plastic; it's cosmetic only, and no two come out the same.
The Mold
The Hatchet fits any hand and is extremely user friendly, holding the line you put it on for frozen-rope drives. Pros get a controllable, glidey fairway driver that's great for rollers, and lower arm speeds get the anhyzer shot they've been missing.
Stability
The Hatchet 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 | 9 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| 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. |
