The Swan 1 Reborn is a very understable Westside putter rated 3/3/-2.5/0, with lots of turn and no fade. It suits players with slower arms who want a straight putting line, and turnover approaches for stronger players. Players who want a stable putter or one for wind should look elsewhere. Westside says its original Swan 1 flew straight for almost anyone and was designed to give slower arms a straighter putting line. The Swan 1 Reborn brings that design back: Westside's Finnish site recorded a new lower half, finished on 12 October 2014, on the original Swan top. That site listed it at 3/3/-1/0 in 2015, while the current numbers are the ones above. The PDGA approved it as the Swan Reborn on 6 February 2015 (15-23), and Westside planned a BT Soft launch for 1 March 2015. The stamp art is by Arto Hoffrén (2010, updated in 2014). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Westside Swan and the Discraft Fierce.

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.
