Westside King

[winkdtm]

Got one in the mail today. Flew all the way from in Finland. Haven't looked at the specs online, but it looks like it's got a 2.3cm rim (destroyer). Only threw it 3 times doing some field testing and it was very understable. Threw the first one pretty flat and it just flipped and into the ground at about 250'. Next one I gave some more air but still not enough room for it to come back. Last throw - hyzer flipped it to just past flat and it went soaring and came back. Had great distance with the last throw. Definitely as fast as a Nuke, Boss,... but weirdly understable.
Just kind of wondering if anyone else had thrown it and what their experience with it was.

I didn't even know such a thing existed.

why is the stamp backwards

understable? These things were supposed to be beefy. 4/5 in fade ratings

OAT?

I got my wife a northman for christmas. MS says they are like an SL and she uses an SL as a meatyhooker.

I threw a friends northman (170-2?) for a couple short rounds and it felt quite a bit like my 175 beast
GGGT also has em for $9 still I think, awesome for an opto disc
Bring on the King!

i can't get a deleted post notification?

I have been keeping an eye on Westsides website, but I did not see them post the Kings PDGA approval yet. Does yours say it's approved ?


Uhhhhh, my Northman flies nothing like an SL, it's alot more flippy and glidey. Still dont know what to compare it to, but its closer to a Beast or a Sidewinder than an SL, with Leopard glide.
Very un-meat hookey, more like tofurkey.

Maybe Westside will be the understable counter part to Lat 64...

 

[booter]

the king is approved and it's supposed to be overstable the ratings were

14 speed
5 glide I think
-1 turn
4/5 fade

PDGA specs are interesting though.
The King's rim is only 2.3cm, which is the same as an Xcaliber, and a Boss is 2.5cm

I guess the King gets it's speed some other way...like from across the tracks
