Catapult
The "Catapult" by Westside Golf Discs positions itself as an overstable distance driver for experienced throwers seeking maximum distance with reliable fade. With a speed rating of 14, it ranks among the fastest discs in Westside's lineup and is clearly aimed at players with developed arm speed. The wide rim design divides opinions—while some throwers appreciate its grip, others find the unusually broad design takes getting used to. In the popular VIP and Tournament plastics, the "Catapult" showcases its signature stability most prominently. The flight characteristics prove significantly more overstable than the manufacturer's numbers suggest. The minimal turn of -0.5 barely materializes in practice—the disc holds its line with strong torque resistance, favoring a hyzer flight over straight paths. The strong fade of 3 kicks in reliably, bringing the disc down with a pronounced left finish. At full arm speed, the "Catapult" unlocks its full distance potential, while slower throws cause it to dump early. Its actual speed feels noticeably lower than 14, making it more controllable than comparable max-distance drivers. For forehand shots, the "Catapult" delivers dependable hyzer lines with predictable fade, while in backhand, it excels for powerful hyzer bombs and utility shots against wind. Straight distance lines demand significant power and precise timing. This disc is tailored for advanced to expert players who consistently throw over 120 meters and want a trusty overstable bomber for demanding conditions. Beginners may struggle with its stability and speed, but experienced throwers with 400+ feet of power can fully harness its potential.
