Warship

4.7(181)
Mid Range
The Warship is a glidy, straight-flying Westside midrange rated 5/6/0/1. No turn and a small fade suit straight fairway shots and approaches, and it is easy for newer players to control. Players who need a mid with a strong fade for wind should look elsewhere. Westside built it as a midrange for everyday players: easy to use, comfortable in the hand and straight. It says faster arms get a straight, controllable flight, while slower arms get a straight line with a finish to the left for a right-hand backhand. One early poster on Disc Golf Course Review in 2012 noted that prototypes flew less stable than the production discs. The PDGA approved the Warship on 11 December 2011 (11-47), with a VIP Air version approved in 2013, and Westside's Finnish site recorded its launch on 1 March 2012. That site listed it at 6/5/0/1, with speed and glide the other way round, while the current numbers are the ones above. Westside later reused its upper half for the Tursas. Its Finnish name is Pursi, and the stamp art is by Arto Hoffrén (2011). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Latitude 64 Compass and the Discmania MD3.

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.
