Westside Discs Tide

The Westside Discs Tide is a high-speed distance driver designed for players who crave both maximum distance and precise control. With a flight rating of 12 | 6 | -0.5 | 3, the Tide offers an incredible blend of glide and stability, making it ideal for players with powerful arms who want to carve long, accurate lines through tight fairways or launch bombs in open fields.

While the Tide shares similarities with the popular Westside Sword, it offers slightly more overstability and glide, helping it stay aloft longer while maintaining its line with minimal flipping. Its mild turn and reliable fade make it a go-to for backhand and forehand drives alike. Whether you're shaping technical shots or pushing your max distance, the Tide delivers with consistency and finesse. This disc is not recommended for beginners. With its speed rating of 12, it requires a fast arm to achieve optimal flight. Intermediate to advanced players will love how it resists turnover without being dumpy at the end of its flight. On a flat release, expect a gentle turn before a strong forward fade that finishes reliably.

Professional disc golfer Matt Orum helped design the Tide to fit his needs as a precision bomber. It fills the gap between the Sword and a more overstable Destroyer-like mold. With its dependable fade and extended glide, it's ideal for shaping hyzer lines, fighting headwinds, or launching controlled s-curves down the fairway.
