Westside Disc Golf VIP Catapult Distance Driver 14/4/-0.5/3 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-V-CAT (REF2276-3)
Description
The Westside VIP Catapult distance driver is a super-high-speed driver, 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 long, predictable power drives. 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
Like its namesake, the Catapult is made to cover long distances. It's a super-high-speed disc with enough stability to handle a full-power throw, so big arms can launch it a long way with predictability.
Stability
The Catapult is stable-to-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 | 14 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |

| Turn | -0.5 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
