Westside Discs Plastics
Westside Discs is a Finnish brand, moulded at Latitude 64's factory in Sweden — which makes it part of the Trilogy family alongside Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs. Westside is known for mythology-inspired mold names and for a plastic range that mirrors the Trilogy system under its own labels.
The lineup is easiest to learn as families rather than a flat list: a parent plastic with a few variants built on top of it. There are four, and once you know which family a disc belongs to you know roughly what you are holding.
Quick Reference
- Putting? BT — Medium to start, Soft or Megasoft for grip, Hard for spin putters.
- Throwing and driving? VIP for durability, Tournament for grip.
- Maximum overstability? VIP-X.
- Cold or wet? Tournament — the grippiest premium option we stock.
- Night rounds? VIP Moonshine.
- Lower arm speed? VIP Air.
- On a budget? Origio.
The Four Families
| Family | Character | What sits in it |
|---|---|---|
| VIP | Clear premium, most durable | VIP, VIP Air, VIP Moonshine, VIP-X, Hybrid VIP, VIP Ice |
| Tournament | Opaque premium, grippier | Tournament, Tournament Burst, Tournament Orbit, Tournament Rill |
| BT | Baseline, grip over longevity | BT Megasoft, BT Soft, BT Medium, BT Hard, plus Burst runs |
| Origio | Entry level, cheapest | Origio and Origio Burst |
Elasto, Westside's flexible premium blend, sits outside those four. We are not carrying it at the moment — there is a note at the end on that and on VIP Ice.
The VIP Family
VIP
Westside's flagship premium plastic: translucent, extremely durable, and built to hold its flight through heavy use. It is the Trilogy equivalent of Latitude 64's Opto and Dynamic Discs' Lucid. In the same mold, VIP tends to fly slightly more overstable than Tournament and holds that stability longer over time. The Sword and Destiny are popular picks.
Best for: Drivers and midranges you throw hard and often, and maximum long-term consistency.
Shop VIP →VIP lightened to produce discs around the 155 to 165g range. Less mass means easier distance with less effort, which helps newer players and slower arm speeds. These still feel full-sized rather than thin or flimsy — though a light disc gets pushed around more in wind. Shop VIP Air
Westside's glow plastic, built on the VIP platform. Keeps VIP's durability and adds a glow core that charges under light. Like most glow blends it runs slightly more overstable than standard VIP. Shop VIP Moonshine
The firmer, more overstable version. Across the Trilogy brands the X suffix works the same way — compare Latitude's Opto-X and Dynamic's Fuzion-X. This is the one to reach for on power forehands, headwinds and utility lines that have to finish. Shop VIP-X
A blended premium run on the VIP base, produced in limited batches rather than as a standing line. Shop Hybrid VIP
A firmer, stiffer take on VIP that flies more overstable still — the Sockibomb Harp in VIP Ice is one of the most trusted approach discs in the sport. We are out of it at present; VIP-X is the in-stock alternative for that job. Check VIP Ice stock
The Tournament Family
Tournament
Westside's grippier premium plastic — opaque, durable, and more comfortable in the hand than VIP. It is comparable to Latitude 64's Gold Line and Dynamic Discs' Fuzion. In the same mold Tournament tends to fly a touch less overstable than VIP, which gives you slightly more workability on a shaped line. This is the premium plastic to choose when grip matters, especially in cold, wet or humid conditions.
Best for: Premium durability with better grip than VIP. Works across every disc type and every kind of weather.
Shop Tournament →The same plastic with swirled colour mixed through it. Cosmetic only, and no two come out the same. Burst runs often tie to events — ours are 2025 Trilogy Challenge stamps. Shop Tournament Burst
A contrasting rim moulded into the same plastic. Westside does not market Orbit as a flight change, so the practical benefit is visibility — easier to follow in the air and find on the ground. Shop Tournament Orbit
A limited run Westside applies over a plastic you already know, currently on the Seer. Same grippy opaque Tournament character underneath — Rill turns up on their other plastics too. Shop Tournament Rill
BT: The Putting Tier
BT
BT is Westside's baseline putter plastic — grippy, affordable, and built for putting and short-range approaches. It is the counterpart to Latitude 64's Zero and Dynamic Discs' Classic. There is no plastic called simply BT; you always buy a graded firmness. The Harp in BT Hard is a popular forehand approach disc, and the Crown and Shield round out the putting end.
Best for: Putting and approach discs, and cold rounds where premium plastic goes slick and brick-hard.
Shop BT →The most flexible plastic Westside makes — almost squishy. It grabs chains aggressively and stops dead on the ground with minimal skip. A niche pick, but the players who love it really love it.
Flexible with maximum chain-grab. Discs tend to sit and stick on landing rather than skip, which makes it strong for approaches as well as putting.
Balanced firmness and grip, and the right starting point if you are new to the line.
Firm with a consistent, repeatable release — the one spin putters tend to prefer. It also lasts longest of the four before beating in.
BT Hard Burst and BT Medium Burst are the same plastics with swirled colour mixed in. The pattern is cosmetic and does not change the flight.
Origio: The Entry Tier
Origio
The least expensive plastic Westside makes — the counterpart to Latitude 64's Retro, Dynamic Discs' Prime and Innova's DX. Affordable, grippy out of the box, and quick to beat in toward a more understable, workable flight. Origio is the cheapest way to try a Westside mold before committing to premium, and the smart choice for wooded or water-lined courses where losing a disc is a real risk. Origio Burst is the same plastic with swirled colour mixed in.
Best for: Learning the game, field practice, loaners, and shots over water you would rather not pay premium prices to lose.

Elasto and VIP Ice
Elasto is Westside's flexible premium blend — transparent, rubbery and pliable, with excellent grip in cold weather where stiffer plastics turn uncomfortable. Elasto discs land softer and skip less, which makes them strong for approach shots. We are not carrying it at the moment. If what you are after is a grippy disc that sits where it lands, BT Soft and BT Megasoft are the in-stock Westside answer — baseline plastic rather than premium, but the same soft, low-skip behaviour.
VIP Ice is the firmer, stiffer, more overstable take on VIP. We are out of that too, and VIP-X is the in-stock alternative for the same job.
Both collections stay live and refill automatically when stock arrives: Elasto and VIP Ice.
How to Choose
By Disc Type
- Putters for putting: BT. Start with Medium and adjust firmness to taste.
- Putters and approach for throwing: VIP or Tournament. VIP-X when you need it to finish hard.
- Midranges: VIP or Tournament. Origio on a budget.
- Fairway drivers: VIP is the standard, Tournament for more grip.
- Distance drivers: VIP for durability, Tournament for grip, VIP Air for easy lightweight distance.
By Weather
- Cold: Tournament or BT Soft — grippier plastics stay comfortable when it is freezing.
- Hot: VIP or BT Hard — firmer plastics hold shape and stability in heat.
- Wet: Tournament has excellent wet grip; BT is the baseline answer.
- Night: VIP Moonshine. For every glow disc we carry across all brands, see Glow in the Dark.
The Trilogy Connection
Westside, Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs all come out of the same Swedish factory, and each names its tiers differently. If you already know one of the three, this table is the fastest way into the other two.
| Tier | Westside | Latitude 64 | Dynamic Discs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear premium | VIP | Opto | Lucid |
| Grippy premium | Tournament | Gold Line | Fuzion |
| Flexible premium | Elasto | Frost Line | Fluid |
| Baseline putting | BT | Zero | Classic |
| Entry level | Origio | Retro | Prime |
| Lightweight premium | VIP Air | Opto Air | Lucid Air |
| Glow | VIP Moonshine | Opto Moonshine | Moonshine |
| Firm and overstable | VIP-X | Opto-X | Fuzion-X |
These are comparable rather than identical — each brand's version has its own feel. But the Trilogy system means that if you get on with one, the equivalents from the other two are a safe bet.
FAQs
VIP for throwing — translucent, extremely durable and consistent. Tournament is the grippier alternative with comparable durability. For putting, BT in whichever firmness suits your stroke. Most players end up with VIP for drivers and BT for putters.
VIP is translucent, firmer and tends to fly slightly more overstable. Tournament is opaque, grippier and a touch less overstable in the same mold. Choose VIP for maximum durability and stability, Tournament for grip and a little more workability. It is the same relationship as Opto versus Gold Line at Latitude 64, or Lucid versus Fuzion at Dynamic Discs.
Start with BT Medium. Move to BT Soft for more chain-grab and a disc that sits where it lands, or BT Hard if you are a spin putter who wants a firm, repeatable release. BT Megasoft is the extreme-soft option — polarising, but devoted fans.
VIP-X is the firmest, most overstable premium option we currently stock, which makes it the natural forehand and utility pick. VIP Ice does the same job and is the more famous choice — particularly the Sockibomb Harp — but we are out of it at the moment.
Not as far as Westside claims. Orbit moulds the rim and flight plate in contrasting colours; Burst mixes swirled colour through the plastic. Both are finishes on a plastic you already know, so a Tournament Orbit disc is Tournament. The practical gain is visibility — two-tone discs are easier to follow in the air and find in long grass.
It depends how you throw it. BT Hard for putting and touch forehand approaches — firm, grippy and affordable. BT Megasoft if you want it to stop dead. VIP for powered forehand approaches where durability matters. We stock the Harp in BT Hard, BT Medium and BT Megasoft.
They are made in the same Swedish factory but they are comparable rather than identical. The table above maps the tiers across all three. For the other two in detail, see our Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs guides.
