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.
