Westside Disc Golf VIP Ahti Fairway Driver 9/3/0/4 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-AH-VIP (REF2113-1)
Description
The Westside VIP Ahti fairway driver is a very overstable fairway driver for heavy wind, molded in VIP plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on spike hyzers, flex shots, and windy days. 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.
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
When you're stepping up to heavy wind, the Ahti is the call. It's designed to be a really overstable fairway driver for spike hyzers, flex shots, and windy days.
Stability
The Ahti 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 suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 4 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
