Midrange · Overstable · Modeled from official flight numbers
The Westside Discs Vellamo is a speed 5 midrange with glide 5.5, turn 0 and fade +1.5, for an estimated maximum distance of 86 m / 282 ft. With fade outweighing turn by 1.5 points, it is an overstable midrange: it holds a straight-to-left line even when thrown with power, resisting the wind rather than turning over. The flight path above is modeled from its flight numbers using a calibration built from official manufacturer charts.
At speed 5, this is a midrange in the midrange range. It asks for only moderate arm speed and stays controllable for the majority of players. Its glide of 5.5 keeps it airborne and carrying with little effort. A turn of 0 means it resists turning right even at full power, and a fade of +1.5 gives it a moderate finish to the left as it slows.
Stability: Overstable (rating +1.5). 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: It is best suited to players who can bring it up to its rated speed; a slower arm will see it finish left early.
