Westside Disc Golf VIP Vellamo Midrange 5/5.5/0/1.5 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-VIP-VEL (REF2719-2)
Description
The Westside VIP Vellamo midrange is a glidey, controllable midrange, molded in VIP plastic. It's built for players who want a straight, easy-to-control flight, and it's at its best on straight throws and shaped lines. 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
The Vellamo is a midrange shaped for control and glide, with effortless distance and the ability to hold any line. It excels at straight throws and controlled, shaped lines, whether you're navigating tight fairways or dialing in approaches.
Stability
The Vellamo is neutral. Neutral discs fly straight and true with very little turn or fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with only a slight drift and a gentle finish. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with a gentle drift the other way. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's an easy choice for beginners and a reliable tool for experienced players.
