The Stag is a Westside fairway driver rated 8/6/-1/2. A touch of turn, good glide and a moderate fade give it a straight, controllable flight, and Westside suggests it as a single fairway driver for players who carry only one. Players who need a strongly overstable driver for wind should look elsewhere. Westside describes good stability, a smaller rim that suits a wide range of hands and a controllable, predictable flight: a straight tunnel shot with a hyzer finish for strong players, and a gentler finish left for slower arms. Westside later presented its Bear as the Stag's bigger sibling. The PDGA approved the Stag on 30 October 2012 (12-40), with a VIP Air version approved in 2013. Westside's Finnish site recorded the launch on 1 March 2013, noted that the Stag mold uses the Giant's upper half, and listed it at 8/6/0/3 at the time, while the current numbers are the ones above. Its Finnish name is Hiiden Hirvi, the stamp art is by Arto Hoffrén (2012), and Heidi Laine has had a Team Series run. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Latitude 64 Vision and the Legacy Discs Phenom.

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.
