Why do both putters have horrible names though? The swan...psssssh. Make me laugh. Now the harp :doh:

Swan is an awesome name for a putter. Guys with Rhynos and Wizards that miss putts all day don't feel so manly when I'm sinkin the Swan.
Plus skulls are cool.

I have 2 westside discs.
The stag and the underworld.
Both are a disappointment, and not in my bag.
I suppose the underworld could be beat into something useful someday

I feel bad for you. The Underworld is one of the most useful discs in my bag with my fuse and judge.
Word to that. I love both of Westside's fairway drivers to pieces, but especially the Underworld - it's a unique combination of understability and speed.

That is a bummer. ..I dig both of those molds!
Especially the Stag in VIP and the Underworld in TP.
Euro molds reward smooth lower power shots. Make sure you are not muscling them.

You want to beat in the Underworld into something useful?
If you beat it in, it will be the most understable thing ever.
Some of the names really do not translate well... "Swan" in finnish stamp for example is "Tuonelan Joutsen", which means "the Swan of the Underworld"(mythology again). Swan also happens to be our national bird.
"Tursas"... well, think of finnish version of the Kraken.
"Stag" is "Hiiden Hirvi", "the Goblin's Moose"...ohgod...
Okok, I see why they didn't translate some of them right...

My VIP stag wasn't as overstable as I had hoped it would be (overlaps with teebirds) at this point I am using a PD instead
And the VIP underworld couldn't take the spot from my OPTO Furys and or (beat glow dx valk, we have been together a long time)

I have an 156g AIR "Hiiden Hirvi" (Stag) that seems to be plenty stable; perhaps closer to the 8/6/0/3 Westside intended. Makes for a good compliment to an AIR Saint...
Anyway, I tried Googling for backups (anyone?) to the AIR Stag and found a Finnish disc golf website. The Google translation presented for "Hiiden Hirvi" was DEVIL MOOSE. How excellent!
For some reason, it seems as though the Air Stags came out beefier than the other versions. Out of the 7+ Stags I've thrown, my Air Stag is by far the most OS.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like a backup for yours; I can cover enough lines with my VIPs and Tournaments.

Anyone hear any more info on the new releases from westside? Im hoping someone has leaked something, or might have an inside source. There are a few holes in my bag that lat/ws/DD hasnt filled yet, and im hoping that a few of the new releases will round out my bag.
The stamp alone may prompt me to buy a Hatchet.
I would also much rather own a Goblin's Moose than a Stag. C'mon Westside, don't underestimate the hipster appeal of quirky names.

Even "Moose" alone would be pretty cool.

Looks like WS put up the unofficial flight numbers. Not as excited about the hatchet as I was...

I don't put much value in their flight numbers. I think for the most part we'll just have to find out how they fly by reviews or throwing them ourselves.

To save everyone some time.
Westside World 14, 4, 1, 4
Westside Sorcerer 13, 6, 0, 2
Westside Hatchet 9, 6, -2, 2
Westside Harp 4, 3, 0, 3.
Very curious why they made another disc like the giant (13 5 1 4) and similar to the Northman (10 5 -1 2).
The Hatchet makes more sense but I'm a little puzzled about "the world"
Hatchet makes more since, but I'm
