Westside Disc Golf BT Soft Burst Swan 1 Reborn Putter 3/3/-2.5/0 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-BTSB-SW1R (REF1465-10)
Description
The Westside BT Soft Burst Swan 1 putter is Westside's original straight-flying putter, molded in BT Soft Burst plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on straight putting for lower arm speeds. This listing is the Reborn release of the Swan 1.
BT Soft Burst Plastic
BT is Westside's grippy, affordable baseline plastic built for putting and short approaches, the counterpart to Latitude 64's Zero and Dynamic Discs' Classic. It always comes in a graded firmness. Soft is flexible with maximum chain grab. Discs tend to sit and stick on landing rather than skip, which makes it strong for approaches as well as putting. Burst mixes swirled color through the plastic; it's cosmetic only, and no two come out the same.
The Mold
The Swan 1 was Westside's original putter, flying straight for anyone right off the shelf. It was designed to give lower arm speeds a straighter putting line.
Stability
The Swan 1 is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 3 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | -2.5 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 0 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
