Westside Bard Flight Chart
The Westside Bard is a power-ready, overstable midrange built for control in wind and torque-heavy throws. Manufacturer flight numbers: 5 | 4 | 0 | 3. Expect a flat, neutral start with minimal high-speed turn and a reliable, late fade. Common plastics include VIP (durable, stiff), VIP Ice on select runs, and Tournament (TP) for a touch more grip. This page focuses on the Bard’s flight chart, flight path by skill level, and practical use cases informed by player feedback.
Snapshot & Flight Numbers
Speed 5 control with workable glide (4). The Bard resists turning when thrown hard and finishes predictably, making it a dependable line-holding mid for headwinds, flex approaches, and forehand touch shots.
Beginner Take: Straight-Then-Fade Control
If you’re newer, the Bard will feel quite stable. Use a slight anhyzer or extra height to get forward push before the dependable fade. It’s great for learning “point-and-fade” approaches that land near the target.
Intermediates: Midrange You Can Lean On
From a flat or mild hyzer release, the flight path tracks straight and then finishes on time. The Bard shines for forced hyzers, low-ceiling pushes that must not drift right (RHBH), and forehand chips where you want the disc to fight out.
Advanced & Forehand Utility
Power throwers can rip the Bard without fear of turn. It accepts torque on both backhand and forehand, making it ideal for windy days, skip-safe landings, and controlled flexes that always finish.
Plastic & Wind Tuning
- VIP / VIP Ice: Maximum stability and durability—great in wind and for forehand torque.
- Tournament (TP): Slightly grippier in the hand; flights remain solidly overstable.
- Wind notes: Headwind = throw it flat; Calm/Tailwind = add hyzer to keep it on line.
