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 plastic.
