Fortress

Westside Fortress Flight Chart

The Westside Discs Fortress is an overstable control driver with flight numbers 10 | 4 | 0 | 3. Built for confident placement shots in wind, it offers a straight-to-stable high-speed phase and a strong, predictable fade. Many players use the Fortress flight path for controlled distance drives, forehand lines, and utility hyzers when they need reliability more than raw max-D.

Fortress Flight Path for Developing Arms

For newer and lower-power players, the Fortress will behave like a very overstable driver. Expect it to start moving forward briefly before finishing hard to the fade side, especially on flat or slight hyzer releases. It’s not ideal as a first driver, but it can serve as a reliable utility option for headwinds or forced hyzer shots.

Control Driver Flight Numbers for Intermediate Players

Intermediate throwers will see the listed Fortress flight numbers of 10 | 4 | 0 | 3 show up on the course. With enough arm speed, it resists turn even into a breeze and produces a flat, controlled push before a dependable fade. This makes it a strong choice for fairway-like distance where you want predictable finish without a big skip out of control.

Advanced Lines and Power Throws with the Fortress

Advanced players can really lean on the Fortress as a workhorse overstable control driver. Thrown hard and flat, it tracks straight with minimal lateral movement, then finishes with a strong but manageable fade. It excels on flex lines that must fight out reliably and on placement-driven tee shots where you need the disc to land on a specific side of the fairway.

Forehand Use and Headwind Performance

Forehand players often reach for the Fortress when they need torque resistance without jumping all the way up to a meathook. Its rim feels comfortable for power grips, and the overstability keeps it from rolling over under wrist torque. In headwinds, the Fortress remains trustworthy, holding its line and fading out on schedule rather than drifting or flipping unpredictably.
