    The Westside Sword is a great distance driver for power throwers and forehand shots. This is a fast and very stable driver.

    THE SWORD! This stable to understable distance driver is aptly named for its flight which is surprisingly long and straight. Feels amazing in the hand. I would say this disc flies most similar to a perfectly beat in destroyer right out of the box. I put mine on a touch of hyzer and it will push very straight with loads of glide. 
     

    If you put it on anhyzer it is probably never coming out though, especially if there's any headwind. 
     

    I use this disc for slight turnovers that I don't want to hyzer out or turn into a roller. I also use it for slight hyzer flips that I want to push straight as long as possible. 
     

    if there is a 12 speed buzz/ hex this is it.

    Great distance disc for me with forehand release. With enough room to work this one will get a full flex and glide for days. Handles varying release angles well giving reliable results when you need to shape a different shot

    Get it in a different plastic. Unpredictable and the glow is so weak that it might as well not glow at all.

    You would think a SWORD would point straight but this one seems to want to do anything but that. Tough to figure out. I knew the moonshine plastic would land on the overstable side, and it definitely hooks if thrown straight, but for some reason throwing with any bit of anny gives it trouble fighting out of it. Add some headwind to the mix and that thing will turn and burn. Its like I can get this disc to do anything but go straight.

    I also have a lighter VIP air sword and that one seems to behave a bit more. I can hyzer flip it to straight pretty nicely. Very controllable compared to this one.

    Ultimately its still decent but it is so much better in any other plastic.

    Love this mold (as I bag one in VIP, TP, and Moonshine), but you need to be careful about picking one that fits what you're looking for in a disc. I love this about the Sword, since I can have 1 mold for everything except the overstable side of my distance game, but some people may not. I will say, their flight numbers are consistent given the plastic type and stamped flight numbers (unlike a Destroyer, which has a similar quirk in it's production process). Regardless of plastics, the stamps with the updated flight numbers (12, 5, - 0.5, 2) are all fairly true to the numbers. The ones with the old flight numbers (12, 5, - 0.5, 2) vary drastically pending on the plastic. Old stamp VIP ones are close to the advertised flight numbers, but old stamp tournament ones are much flippier than advertised and I only use them for turnover shots that will likely start to flatten out from the turn, but not start to fade back to center. One thing I feel is true about this disc that hasn't been mentioned is it's glide. Not that the numbers are off, but just as you think the disc is going to start to fade on you it almost kicks into a 'second gear' for glide; for lack of a better description that will give you way more distance than you think while you're watching your throw fly. I used to bag Sheriff's for long distance, but this disc consistently out drove it at a slower flight speed due to this quirk of the Sword. As mentioned a few times below, I wouldn't trust this disc in anything more than a moderate headwind, as it does seem to get effected by wind more than you'd think a disc with these flight numbers would.
