Bard | Westside Golf Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Bard" from Westside Golf Discs positions itself as a reliable overstable midrange with a speed of 5, glide of 4, turn of 0, and fade of 3. Its flat profile and moderate depth make it a versatile workhorse disc for controlled throws in various wind conditions. The "Bard" performs particularly well in VIP, Tournament, and Origio Burst plastics, with VIP versions prized for maximum durability and consistent flight characteristics. Weighing around 177 grams, this midrange delivers dependable stability without excessive overstability—remaining manageable yet powerful enough for headwinds up to 30 kilometers per hour. The "Bard" flies straight with predictable fade at the end of its flight path. Despite its overstable rating, it exhibits surprising glide, achieving impressive distances for a midrange. Its actual stability is slightly less pronounced than the manufacturer's specifications—behaving more like a solid stable disc with reliable bite rather than extreme overstability. This trait makes it more versatile than initially expected: it holds clean hyzer lines, stays stable on straight throws, and fights through wind without fading too hard or becoming uncontrollable. The flat top ensures a fast, direct flight and a comfortable grip. For advanced players, the "Bard" becomes a go-to disc in the midrange slot—replacing classic workhorse discs with its combination of control and distance. Intermediate players benefit from its predictability for precise approach shots and controlled fairway throws. The "Bard" works reliably for both forehand and backhand throws, making it ideal for tunnel shots and situations requiring a defined fade. Beginners should first gain experience with neutral midranges but can use the "Bard" as a next step for wind throws and overstable lines.
