Sorcerer

4.2(68)
Distance Driver
The Sorcerer is a speed-13 Westside distance driver rated 13/5/-0.5/3, with a little high-speed turn and a solid fade. It suits players who want a 13-speed driver with a smaller grip and an S-curve line. Players who need an overstable driver for strong wind should look elsewhere. Westside aims it at a broad range of players and gives it a smaller grip than many fast drivers. It says strong players get long anhyzers that come back at the end and a long S-curve, while slower arms see it flatten out and glide before it dives left. Players on Disc Golf Course Review in 2014 thought it flew fairly neutral for a 13-speed driver. The PDGA approved the Sorcerer on 28 October 2013 (13-69), and Westside's Finnish site recorded its launch on 1 March 2014. That site also recorded that the Sorcerer mold uses the World's upper half with its own lower half, and listed it at 13/6/0/2 at launch, while the current numbers are the ones above. Westside links the name to the old sorcerer Väinämöinen of the Kalevala (Finnish name Tietäjä), with stamp art by Arto Hoffrén (2013). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Dynamic Discs Raider and the Axiom Panic.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
