Westside Discs Disc Golf VIP Anvil Midrange 4/2/0/4 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-VIP-ANV (REF2029-2)
Description
The Westside VIP Anvil midrange is an overstable approach midrange, 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 windy approaches that can't turn. 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 the wind is up and you need an overstable approach disc, the Anvil is the answer. It has good speed for a midrange with even more overstability than the Bard, so if turning isn't an option, reach for the Anvil.
Stability
The Anvil 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 | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 2 | Very little glide, so it drops and stops near its 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. |
