The Underworld is a very understable Westside fairway driver rated 7/6/-3/1. Lots of turn and glide with a light fade make it a first driver for beginners, and a turnover, long-anhyzer and roller disc for stronger players. Players who need a stable finish or a disc for wind should look elsewhere. Westside says it was designed with newer players in mind and lets almost anyone throw an anhyzer, describing it as understable with a low profile. One player on Disc Golf Course Review in 2013 found it flips up flat and glides a long way, and another found it very flippy. The PDGA approved the Underworld on 30 October 2012 (12-42), and Westside's Finnish site recorded its launch on 1 March 2013. Westside later reused its upper half for the Hatchet. Its Finnish name is Manala, from the Kalevala, and the stamp art is by Arto Hoffrén (2012). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Gateway Cyborg and the DGA Vortex.

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.
