MATERIAL:
Westside Discs' Elasto plastic is known for its grippy feel and flexibility, particularly in cold weather conditions. Here's a breakdown of its key characteristics:

Superior Grip: One of the most notable features of Elasto plastic is its exceptional grip. The elastomeric properties provide a comfortable, tacky feel that allows for confident throws, even in wet or snowy conditions.

Flexibility in Cold Weather: Elasto plastic retains its flexibility at lower temperatures, unlike some plastics that can become stiff and slick in the cold. This makes Elasto discs a good choice for playing disc golf during winter months.

Potential Trade-offs: While grippy and flexible, Elasto plastic might not be the most durable option compared to some of Westside's other plastics, like Tournament or VIP plastic. Additionally, discs made with Elasto plastic may have a slightly different flight pattern due to the flex in the material.

Westside's Elasto plastic is a strong choice for disc golfers who prioritize grip and cold-weather performance. The added flexibility and grippy feel come in handy during winter rounds, but keep in mind there might be slight trade-offs in terms of durability and flight stability.

DESCRIPTION:
Westside Underworld is a popular, understable fairway driver designed for beginners and for achieving turnover shots by more experienced players. Here's a breakdown of its flight characteristics:

Speed: 7 (out of 14, a slower speed fairway driver)

Glide: 6 (out of 7, a good amount of glide)

Turn: -3 (significantly understable, will turn considerably when thrown with power)

Fade: 1 (has a minimal fade at the end of the flight path)

Due to its significant turn, the Underworld excels in two main areas:

For beginners: The understable turn allows for achieving good distance even with slower throws. Beginners can throw the Underworld with less power and achieve a comfortable S-curve flight path that turns right (for right-handed throwers) and fades gently at the end.

For experienced players: The Underworld is a great option for turnover shots (thrown with anhyzer angles) for controlled rollers and curving the disc around obstacles.
