Material Information

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.

Mold Information

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.
