    Strictly a roller discs for me. Idk if I prefer this over the Underworld, and Stag because of the wide rim.

    Forehand thrower. My backup distance driver or roller. Throw as hard as you can with the disc tipped heavily towards the ground and it'll come out flat and fairly straight with a fade at the end. Throw the same way not tipped so much and it'll get way out to the left and then fade right in a long distance S. The Queen and the King are bother very predictable once you've got how to throw it down. Go for the heavy disc. 172-175g

    I have thrown a handful of Kings, and a trio of Destinys, but I think I prefer this Queen to either of those molds. I found it to be more comfortable than either. The Destiny has more high speed stability but it flies almost like my Sword, and I prefer the Sword. The Queen has more stability than any of my Kings; it's subtle but noticeable. I throw the Queen both fh and bh just as I did with my Kings, but my Kings required that I throw them fh with a steep hyzer and my Queen does not. The Queen when thrown bh is exceptional in calm or downwind conditions, but is still useful into a light headwind with a bit of hyzer; at noodlearm speeds of course.

    The Queen I have is a big power disc that loves being put on a zip line. I throw majority forehands and especially off the tee pad this disc can be just what I need. I live in North Carolina so a lot of the courses around me don't really have big long bomber holes so I only get to really unload big drives with this disc but on a few course; when I do it is super satisfying to watch fly big distance.

    This disc was a little too understable for my liking. I like Wraiths, Katanas and even some turns for 375 foot shots. I can see it still as a good disc as the feel and plastic are very good. Mine was VIP and 168. Maybe if I went to a higher weight one it would be better. Overall great disc, just didn't work for me.

    This is a great high speed driver for those that are able to throw 350-400ft. I was worried about moving up to a 14 speed (the highest I had was the Destroyer at 12), but the understable Queen is perfect since its understableness allows my shots to fly relatively straight. The VIP plastic feels really good in the hands and has a great color to it.  Most sites have it at 14, 5, -3, -2 ; but on my disc it states 14, 5, -2, 2.

    The queen is a very beginner friendly disc when looking for easy distance off the tee. It is less stable than the king, therefore advanced/professional players will find this to be their understable utility disc (long paying anzyhers, rollers). Being a 14 speed disc, it isn’t great for small hands. I could see this bag in a recreational/intermediate bag as their main “big distance” driver, in which the high speed allows a consistent fade at the end most times.

    This disc is turning into one of my favorite hyzer flip discs.  I know that I can snap it super hard and it will stand up and turn a bit.  It has a great finish.

    It took a while to figure the best way to throw this disc as a RHFH, but once I figured out the flight pattern this disc has been a blessing. For open fairways that need a long range bomber, the Queen fits the bill every time. High speed with a predictable fade, this disc is perfect for big arms.

    This was the first driver I ever got complete control over, but I didn't get it right away. It took some work to get up to. So it isn't a great first disc for beginners, but it is a little beginner friendly because it is so understable. This is a great bomber disc for low arm speeds, but for higher arm speeds it will turn over and won't come back. It's still in my bag for special shots though. I use it as a low ceiling driver on holes 300+ and put it about 5 feet off the ground and let the glide on this thing do it's job. It still turns over, but it eats up ground and finishes just right of straight for me. So even though it is a beginnerish disc, there are some uses at the intermediate level for this thing. Good luck with it!

    The Queen is a very underrated understable distance driver. I use my queen (VIP) primarily for rollers, and it does an amazing job at it. For slower arms, I can see this being a top distance driver, as at a slower release, it'll hold a nice S curve, and still finish well. If you are looking for a disc you can roll and get great distance out of, pick up a Queen!

    Bit of a tantalizing disc here. It feels good in your hand and is lightning fast. However, its so understable that any drive over about 350' results in pretty much instant flipping into the ground. The Queen is hard to release perfectly to maximize flight. To do so you need a pretty steep hyzer release. If the Queen flips over, it stays flipped all the way to the ground. Very little low speed fade.

    Glide seems a bit mediocre and if/when the Queen fades it does so suddenly, falling out of the air like a rock. I was actually a bit disappointed in the distance I was getting with well-thrown shots with the Queen. I felt like compared to other fast understable discs it seemed short. 

    The Queen has similar stability to a Bolt or Nuke SS. However, those two discs both penetrate and glide better than the Queen. Overall its a very touchy disc that I can't really find much use for. The King and Destiny by Westside are both better options for that brand. 

    It will work for uphill or downwind shots, but other than that the Queen seems like too much of a liability to throw regularly. Its very hard to control.

    I must have gotten the only stable queen. Kinda bummed about that. But the good news is that it flies pretty far and stable for me. I already have disc's for that though. And it's not a good roller at all.

    I was pretty excited, when the Queen was released.  I immediately put a VIP Queen in my bag, next to my King.  I was hoping for some magic love.  However, I was quite surprise that she (Queen) turnover a lot.  I mean she took off into the right field. Leaving my King all alone in the fairway.  The Queen is vey much so Understable.  I did like how she sailed in the air.  Dancing and swirly in the sky (nice s-turn).

    In the end, the Queen will have its place in bag.  Even if she rolls to the basket.

    I'm going to give the Queen 4 stars, because I see it's usefulness- but this disc wasn't quite for me. In my opinion, it's definitely more flippy than the ratings would suggest. I really had to power down to get a full flight out of the disc, and even then sometimes it flipped all the way over.

    I'd think for a speed 14 I could throw it as hard as I could and it would perform as the ratings suggest, but that wasn't the case. It has the rim of a speed 14, but you big arms will have to power down.

    Now I'm excited to see what newer players/slower arms can do with the disc. I think this would be perfect for those who've learned how to throw, but now want to extend their distance.  Or those who want to try a thick rimmed disc that is still beginner friendly. I'll have to let my beginner friends borrow it and see what they can accomplish!

    The Queen! I will do my best not to sound too negative here, but the Queen wasn't my favorite disc. 

    Initial Impression: That disc is way more understable than I was expecting! My first throw was a hyzerflip and it would have turned into a roller had it not flipped into the bushes

    Feel in the Hands: I actually like the feel of a Queen. It reminds me of a DDx except feels a little less domey. The VIP plastic looks slick but has a little bit of grip to it, which is nice. The shape of the disc allows for a good hyzer release, which is good because it is the only angle I want to throw the Queen on.

    Flight Characteristics: Surprisingly Understable. To me, this disc is what happens if you leave the Turn and Fade of the Innova Tern, but beef up the rim to 14 speed. The added speed just makes this disc flip so hard it wasn't even funny the first 2 times I threw it. The 2nd time I threw it I felt like I threw it to the moon and it still flipped all the way over and turned into a roller. It wasn't until my 3rd shot that I got a full flight out of it. It was a 450 foot uphill hole and I took the big anhyzer route. I hit the line, but the disc never faded and I ended up too far right; the throw was 425+ without any fade at all! This disc is SO FLIPPY. Obviously I would suggest this disc as a roller or massive anhyzer disc if you can throw over 400 feet. Otherwise, the Queen is probably best for medium arm speed ams who are looking to get a consistent distance flight path out of a high speed disc.

    Overall, I don't really like the Queen. I think it is too fast and understable for its own good, which adds some unpredictability. I can see its usefulness, but it isn't in the stability range for me unless I'm looking for a fast roller disc.

    I have absolutely fallen in love with Trilogy plastic over the past year, and this new disc did not disappoint! The first thing I noticed was the rim, I do not have the biggest hands so at times a lot of the disc rims feel a bit oversized.  But this disc feels so good in your hand, so all of you smaller handed throwers get out there and check it out.

    Now as for the flight of this disc, it is flippy... Super Flippy!!  Which equates to great turnover shots that seem to just want to fly for days.  Now mind you this is coming from someone who averages around 325-350 and every now and again I might push one out to 400.  So my arm is what I would consider an average arm,  so when I see this thing fly it is exciting to think what the possibilities might be! 

    This disc has quickly found a home in my bag and I do not see it leaving!

    I love Westside drivers! I use a King, in a couple of different plastics, as my understable driver (despite the odd stability rating printed on the discs), and I use a Destiny for long, straight shots, and I like my Catapult for my long, overstable drives. I was excited to try the Queen, though I knew it would be more understable than I could probably use. I figured that it would be an "easy-to-throw" distance driver. 

    However, I found the Queen to be something of an enigma in my case, throwing RHBH. It was far to understable for me to throw with the kind of speed that the disc suggests, being a "14-speed" driver. When thrown with the power I use on a King or Destiny, the Queen flipped over and went right into the ground, turning into a roller (something I prefer not to do intentionally). So, I backed off the speed, figuring that the only way to rip that thing at a speed 14 would be with a serious hyzer angle. When I backed off on the speed of my release, it turned into an overstable fairway driver, always fading pretty early. So, I couldn't find a way to make it fly with a -2 / 2 stability at any speed, unless I intentionally threw the disc hard and high, giving it time to stabilize, but of course, it lost velocity and didn't get distance.

    Next I tried it with a high anhyzer release to see if I could bend it for a long glide to the understable side (my right). However, it still would fade back enough that it couldn't hold a new line after making the turn. 

    So, the Queen gets three stars from me, because it can be used for certain throws, perhaps at shorter distance when a fade is wanted, or as a roller. I like Westside, and it is a quality disc...I just can't figure out how to make it work based on the flight ratings.
