# The Adder by Westside Golf Discs The "Adder" from Westside Golf Discs positions itself as a powerful distance driver designed for players with high arm speed. With a speed rating of 13, it ranks among the fastest discs in Westside's lineup and is clearly aimed at experienced throwers seeking precise overstable flight paths with maximum distance. The pronounced dome provides surprisingly strong glide before the aggressive fade kicks in. The VIP plastic offers a balanced blend of grip and durability, while Tournament-X presents a noticeably more stable version, leaning closer to extreme utility discs. The "Adder" exhibits an extremely overstable flight with minimal turn and a dominant fade of 4. The disc reliably maintains its line even at high throwing speeds and powers through wind without uncontrolled turns. Unlike comparable distance drivers, it combines its overstability with remarkable glide—staying airborne longer before the powerful fade takes over. This characteristic sets it apart from other overstable distance discs and adds extra meters despite its aggressive finish. The difference between plastics is significant: Tournament-X substantially increases stability, practically transforming the "Adder" into a different disc. For forehand throws with arm speeds exceeding 120 meters, the "Adder" delivers reliable hyzer lines and cuts through strong headwinds. It also excels in backhand situations requiring absolute stability, such as skip shots or flex lines. Advanced players appreciate its combination of speed and control for long-distance throws with predictable fade. Beginners, however, may struggle, as the required throwing speed for optimal flight paths is high. The "Adder" only unlocks its full potential with proper technique and power.
