The Westside Discs Northman is a speed 10 distance driver with glide 5, turn -1 and fade +2, for an estimated maximum distance of 118 m / 387 ft. With fade outweighing turn by 1 point, it is an overstable distance driver: it holds a straight-to-left line even when thrown with power, resisting the wind rather than turning over. The flight path above is traced directly from Westside Discs's official chart, so it reflects the disc's real charted flight rather than a calculated estimate.

How the Northman flies

At speed 10, this is a distance driver in the distance range. It demands high arm speed; thrown slower than its rating it will fade out early rather than fly its full line. Its glide of 5 keeps it airborne and carrying with little effort. A turn of -1 means it shows a gentle rightward drift out of the hand, and a fade of +2 gives it a moderate finish to the left as it slows.

Who it's for & how it handles

Stability: Overstable (rating +1). It holds its line in a headwind and resists turning over, making it a dependable wind fighter.

Backhand & forehand: The extra fade resists the turning force a forehand imparts, so it doubles as a reliable sidearm disc; on a backhand it finishes dependably to the left for a right-handed thrower.

Skill level: Its high speed and overstable finish need real power to fly properly, so it suits intermediate and advanced arms more than beginners.
