Westside Disc Golf VIP Sorcerer Distance Driver 13/5/-0.5/3 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-VIP-SOR (REF204-8)
Description
The Westside VIP Sorcerer distance driver is a high-speed driver for all skill levels, molded in VIP plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on long S-curves and anhyzers. 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
With a smaller grip than most high-speed discs, the Sorcerer leaves the hand fast. Pros get long anhyzers that come back, while lower arm speeds see it get flat and glide before diving left, giving that "pro throw" flight.
Stability
The Sorcerer is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 | -0.5 | 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. |

FAQ
Is the Westside Sorcerer good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 13 speed, the Sorcerer needs good arm speed to fly as intended.
Is the Westside Sorcerer overstable?
Not really. The Sorcerer is stable, rated 13/5/-0.5/3, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between VIP and Tournament plastic?
VIP is translucent, the most durable, and slightly more overstable. Tournament is opaque and grippier, especially in cold or wet weather.
What disc is similar to the Westside Sorcerer?
The Westside VIP Sword (12/5/-0.5/2) is another user-friendly distance driver.
How far does the Westside Sorcerer fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 410 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
