Westside Disc Golf VIP Metallic Slayer Prince Distance Driver 13/5/0/3 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-VIPM-PR (REF2286-5)
Description
The Westside VIP Metallic Prince distance driver is a high-speed overstable driver designed with Matt Orum, molded in VIP Metallic plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on maximum overstable distance. This listing is the Metallic Slayer release of the Prince.
VIP Metallic 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. This run has a metallic finish.
The Mold
The Prince was designed with Matt Orum, who asked for a jaw-dropping driver people could brag about for the distance. It fills the gap in Westside's lineup between the Adder and the Sword.
Stability
The Prince 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 | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
