SKU: DG-WD-TO-SAM (REF1639-7)
Description
The Westside Tournament Sampo fairway driver is a neutral, glidey fairway driver, molded in Tournament plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on long, straight, low 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 Sampo gets great distance with minimal effort thanks to its smooth release and great glide. Its very neutral flight path makes it great for long, straight, low shots.
Stability
The Sampo is stable-to-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.
