MATERIAL:
Tournament plastic is Westside Discs' premium plastic blend, known for its durability, grip, and flight characteristics.

Durability: On par with VIP plastic in terms of toughness, Tournament plastic can withstand the wear and tear of frequent throws and course play.

Enhanced Grip: Compared to VIP plastic, Tournament plastic offers a slightly better grip, especially noticeable in wet or sweaty conditions. This improved grip can contribute to more controlled releases and overall accuracy.

Flight Performance: Discs made with Tournament plastic tend to maintain their flight characteristics well over time. They are known for their reliable fade and stability, making them predictable during flight.

Here's a comparison between Tournament plastic and other Westside plastics to help you decide:

Similar to Latitude 64 Gold Line: In terms of both feel and performance, Tournament plastic closely resembles Latitude 64's Gold Line plastic.

Grippier than VIP: As mentioned earlier, Tournament plastic provides a bit more grip than VIP plastic.
Less grippy than BT Soft/Medium: For maximum grip, Westside's BT Soft and Medium plastics offer a softer, more comfortable feel in hand. However, Tournament plastic provides a good balance between grip and durability.

Tournament plastic is a versatile choice for disc golfers seeking a durable disc with good grip and reliable flight performance. It's a well-rounded pla

DESCRIPTION:
Here's a description of the Westside Sampo as a fairway driver:

Speed: 10 (out of 14, a high speed for a fairway driver)

Glide: 4 (out of 7, a moderate glide disc)

Turn: -1 (slightly understable, will turn a little when thrown with power)

Fade: 2 (has a moderate fade at the end of the flight path)

The Sampo's flight path falls between a distance driver and a fairway driver. Here's what that means:

For beginners: The Sampo might be a bit too fast for beginners and could be difficult to control.

For intermediate and experienced players: The Sampo can be a good option for long, straight shots with a dependable fade at the end. The turn characteristic allows for achieving more distance with a powerful throw with a slight hyzer angle (angled upwards at the release).
