Westside Disc Golf Tournament Fortress Fairway Driver 10/4/0/3 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-T-FRT (REF2281-2)
Description
The Westside Tournament Fortress fairway driver is a fast, stable workhorse fairway driver, molded in Tournament plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on long fairway drives, hyzers, and flex shots. Westside Discs is a Finnish brand known for mythology-inspired mold names, molded at Latitude 64's factory in Sweden as part of the Trilogy family alongside Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs.
Tournament Plastic
Tournament is Westside's grippier premium plastic: opaque, durable, and more comfortable in the hand than VIP. It's comparable to Latitude 64's Gold Line and Dynamic Discs' Fuzion, flies a touch less overstable than VIP in the same mold, and is the premium plastic to choose when grip matters in cold, wet, or humid conditions.
The Mold
The Fortress combines speed, control, and stability as a workhorse for long fairway drives, hyzers, and flex shots. Wind will not conquer your Fortress.
Stability
The Fortress is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
