# Westside King The "King" by Westside Golf Discs is positioned as a distance driver for players with intermediate to advanced experience. With a speed of 14 and a pronounced glide of 5, this disc is designed for throwers seeking maximum distance while maintaining control over various release angles. The wider rim demands clean technique but rewards it with impressive range. Particularly in VIP, Tournament, and VIP Air plastics, the "King" showcases its strengths in distance play. The flight characteristics of the "King" vary significantly depending on plastic type and weight. With turn ratings around -1.5 and fade of 3, the disc develops a controlled turn on powerful throws before reliably fading back at the end. Lighter VIP Air versions exhibit more turn potential and suit players with moderate arm speed, while heavier Tournament plastics offer more stability and resistance to turnover. This variability between identical models makes careful disc selection essential. The "King" is sensitive to release angles and speed—precise technique is crucial for consistent results. In practice, the "King" works well for both backhand and forehand throws, though backhand better highlights its distance capabilities. With a hyzer release, it can shape long S-curves, while anhyzer throws with sufficient power transition into extended turnover lines. Advanced players appreciate this disc for max-distance shots on open fairways. Beginners may find the "King" challenging—the combination of high speed and variable stability requires developed throwing technique and arm speed. Intermediate players, however, will find it an ideal training partner for transitioning to true distance drivers.
