Westside Disc Golf Tournament Giant Distance Driver 13/4/0/3.5 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-T-GIA (REF2116-2)
Description
The Westside Tournament Giant distance driver is Westside's most reliable overstable high-speed driver, molded in Tournament plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on giant hyzer lines and forehands. 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.
Tournament Plastic
Tournament is Westside's grippier premium plastic: opaque, durable, and more comfortable in the hand than VIP. It's comparable to Latitude 64's Gold Line and Dynamic Discs' Fuzion, flies a touch less overstable than VIP in the same mold, and is the premium plastic to choose when grip matters in cold, wet, or humid conditions.
The Mold
The Giant is built for giant hyzer lines. For pros, it's a go-to hyzer disc for shots over 350 feet, and for slower arm speeds it's a good utility disc in all conditions. Many players also find it a great forehand disc.
Stability
The Giant is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard 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 | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3.5 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
