Westside Discs' VIP Air material is a variation of their VIP plastic designed to be lighter weight while maintaining good durability.
Here's a breakdown of its key features:
Reduced Weight: The core technology behind VIP Air is achieving a lighter disc overall. This is accomplished by thinning out the flight plate and rim, with more material concentrated in the center for better impact resistance.
Durability: While lighter, VIP Air discs inherit the long-lasting characteristics of VIP plastic, making them capable of handling punishment on the course.
Trade-off in Stability: The lighter weight of VIP Air discs comes with a slight decrease in stability compared to standard VIP plastic. This means they might be more likely to turn and fade less during flight.
VIP Air is a good option for disc golfers who want the durability of VIP plastic in a lighter weight disc. This can be beneficial for those with slower throwing arms or who prefer a lighter feel in their discs. However, keep in mind the slightly reduced stability when selecting a VIP Air disc.
