The Westside Discs Warship is a 5-speed stable midrange. With published flight numbers of 5 / 6 / 0 / 1, it is most often described as suited for point-and-shoot straight midrange drives, gliding approaches that carry farther than most mids.

Overview

The Westside+Discs">Westside Discs Warship is a straight, glidey midrange rated 5/6/0/1 by Westside — the fastest midrange in the Finnish-designed brand's lineup.[1] Westside pitches it as the everyday player's midrange: user friendly at all levels, holding a straight line with a great feel in the hand.[1] For faster arms it flies straight and controllable; for slower arms it holds its line and finishes gently left for a right-handed backhand.[1] Infinite Discs rates it slightly faster, at 6/5/0/1, and notes it is nearly quick enough to class as a fairway driver.[4]

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

Use the Warship as a point-and-shoot workhorse: straight midrange drives, long gliding approaches, and holes just past comfortable midrange distance where its carry closes the gap.[1][3][4] Its neutral turn and single point of fade make it easy to trust on hyzer, flat, and anhyzer releases alike.[1][3] Reviewers highlight the glide as its standout trait — it carries farther than most midranges, with a small, predictable fade at the end.[3][4]

Best for:

  • Point-and-shoot straight midrange drives
  • Gliding approaches that carry farther than most mids
  • Slower arms that need a straight line with a gentle left finish
  • Stretching midrange distance without moving up to a fairway driver

Plastics & variants

The Warship is available in the following plastic blends from Westside Discs:[1]

VIP, VIP-Ice, VIP-X, Tournament, Tournament-X, Revive, Origio

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

The Warship was PDGA-approved on December 11, 2011, certification number 11-47, under the working name "Pursi1" — Pursi being the Finnish word Westside gives for Warship.[1][2] Westside Discs began as a Finnish-designed brand and is now part of the Trilogy family alongside Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs; the Warship's stock stamp, drawn by Arto Hoffrén in 2011, depicts a warship from the Finnish national epic Kalevala.[1] It remains a lineup staple, produced in VIP, VIP-Ice, VIP-X, Tournament, Tournament-X, Revive, and Origio plastics.[1] PDGA specs list a 21.7 cm diameter and 180.1 g maximum weight.[2]
