Westside Disc King Review | Danny Lindahl

[@Chris.Davies]

In fact, King is a shallow driver at just 11mm deep. A deep driver would be 12mm or more. And protip: Deep drivers are so much easier to control in the forehand shot.

[@masonwright754]

The king has to be my favorite roller disc. Used to not be confident in my backhand roller but with this king, I was really able to get it out there. After a bit of use, and a flat or anhyzer release it will easily and readily roll, and for a long time. Great for low ceilings and cut roll angles.

[@ruudzlatan7027]

Thank you for the Westside reviews, Mr. Lindahl. The King is loved by those of us who will never throw 400’. I throw it forehand and backhand for max distance which for me is about 360’. In the future, I would like to see like for like comparisons of trilogy products; Maul vs Seer vs Maverick for example.

[@nicd1826]

I had a white king 167 weight in origio plastic that I could just bomb. Threw one just shy of 400ft (with elevation) Not many discs I can say that about with my noodle arm. But I also loved it for long forehanded S shots, one of the few discs I always felt confident to throw. It all came to an end when I forgot to pick it up. My game hasn't been the same again since... that's why I would love to get another one some day. Would love to see a review of the new Maiden.

[@mmldiscgolf]

For me, the VIP King slots just below my Goldline Havoc's in stability (slightly less stable). I usually throw the King in open areas when there's no wind or a tailwind. The King is one of my favorite drivers. I have never thrown a TP King, but if you choose my comment, that disc would go straight into my bag, as I will make space for it for sure! Thanks for the videos, Danny!

[@hunterberrong3489]

I've been slowly moving to a mostly westside bag and feel like the King would make a great replacement for my tern. I'd love a review of a giant and a world so I could decide between the two!!!

[@mmldiscgolf]

If you had a star Tern, then you might not find them to be as similar, but definitely dead on match to the Champ Tern. I like the flat VIP ones. I have two that are earlier runs that seem to be more overstable than typical. Feel-wise, I think the champ tern and VIP king are a perfect match.

[@WestsideGolfDiscs]

Thanks for the comment Hunter! Let me send you this King and you tell me what you think! Message Dynamic Discs on Facebook and I'll get it sent out!

[@wesleyray4833]

I’ve recently added more power to reach 400’, but it has come at a cost of turn and burn on my Nuke Ss Ti. Will you review the Gateway Apex as I now need an in-between low canopy driver for some of the technical courses in St. Louis? A review of some hometown plastic is always nice!

[@trophydave9588]

All Hail the King!! Westside Maiden next please!! Its the best putter I've ever used!

[@johnlarson1891]

I agree. Got two in the medium plastic

[@jamesburton213]

The King is my favorite disc. They bomb, especially if you find a domey one.

[@joshfolkin4266]

Seems to me a round edge would be better then a knife edge type driver for rolling. It really depends on what you want the roller for heavily wooded greens with or w/o a clear line. . Just recently bought a Westside VIP king for a forehand roller and there is no disappointment there. Have a typical 300ft and my max a little over 400ft. very straight. Beat up stable discs make for the best long distance rolling in my experience now.

[@1underparguitar]

Looks like a great disc for someone like me that has a natural hyzer release. Love the videos Danny, keep it up!

[@dayo2279]

I throw a Queen and love it. I wonder how the King would fare with my arm speed now. My distance has been steadily increasing and a bunch of discs I used to hyzer flip now turn and don't come back, I feel like I'm in an adjustment period constantly as my form and power improves and increases.

[@brobroschat]

Man I feel like a 14 speed it just a little fast for me. But I do love these reviews. You break it down so well. Thanks for the video Danny. Keep up the good work!

[@epegr1075]

Interesting. I definitely thought this one was gonna be more OS. Excited to see how it flies!

[@haoNA24]

I used to love the king. Amarillo Texas is at 3600 feet of elevation so it’s a touch more stable here. I put grew it but I still tried to throw it. Turn and burn or it would go forever. Great disc. Just lacked consistency for me. I can’t help but eye that pearly boatman on the wall. And wonder if it’s one of the boatman that came stamped vip but had a lil moonshine mixed in. It’s the one disc that I seriously can not find.

[@stoked9637]

My friend gave me a couple of tournament plastic kings to try out. I can second your comment that the -1 turn isn't accurate. Seems much more understable. I would not throw this into a headwind. However, it does feel nice in the hand.

[@johnevans4890]

Was not expecting it to be so understable. But when I hit that hyzer angle right, boy does it go.

[@bobbyswain7049]

Id like to see you review the Westside Stag.....nice review on the King

[@patriotxero1776]

Maybe I still don’t have the power to throw this fast enough but I find my Origio Prime Burst King to be quite overstable. Even beat in, it dumps out on a flat release, for me. However, I love this disc on forehand. I can regularly hit 300-310 with this disc.

[@williammoyer6839]

I like my king for hyzer flip and also if I release it flat I get this really long turnover shot out of it.

[@skarpengland]

Found this Disc in norway, with Finnish writing. I needed to buy it.

[@justinallred798]

Nice Vid. Looking forward to more

[@jennifermunchiando8363]

I love the king disc it drives far.And is good for open shots. It's cool around trees.l also love your video s

[@juicetofer]

I don’t have a King, nor do i have Danny’s arm, but my VIP Destiny seems to be more stable and just as far as the King. Have you reviewed the Giant?

[@WestsideGolfDiscs]

I have a review of the Destiny on this channel! The King is definitely more stable. I couldn't throw the Destiny full power but the King had no problem handling the torque.

[@xaviervenegas5515]

The king is a great disc but I prefer the queen because it has a little bit better feel in the hand and I can throw it just as far if not farther

[@nicholaslopez1124]

I haven't thrown a current run King...would you say that it's still more under stable than a Destiny?

[@JosephGarcia-wm9pf]

How is it an understable disc when the turn is way less than the fade?

[@Overheat222]

I don't have a king so I can't comment on it, but you should review the anvil.

[@WestsideGolfDiscs]

I have a review of the Anvil on this channel! It's a fantastic approach disc!

[@LeeRoySargent]

With the extra turn and less fade as stated...sounds like the King's destiny is to be...a Destiny? Also...I'd love to see you throw an Ahti. Ahti is god.

[@WestsideGolfDiscs]

It's not quite as understable as a Destiny. More controllable turn and more reliable fade. I couldn't throw the Destiny full powered but the King I had no problem.

[@LeeRoySargent]

@@WestsideGolfDiscs True enough. I'm also forehand dominant, so we're coming at it from different angles. Literally. Awesome videos, as always!

[@brettroberts8832]

Loved this disc till I lost it. It was in elasto and I cant find another one. First distance driver that I hyzer flipped

[@johan7848]

I actually found a really worn king in elasto, can barely throw it since it's so flippy, so i guess its kinda broken. How did it fly before that?

[@discgolfjunky1]

I guess I’m too late for the giveaway. Lol. I love this disc.

[@thomaswit72]

King me, Danny!

[@notbulbous42]

I would be a skillful hero w this disc

[@nonyofyas]

Can someone explain why this is under stable based on the stats?

[@t3h909]

I think dogs should vote

[@SPEC1ALSAUC3]

Best comment!

[@patrickfitzgerald6072]

Danny lets be real it’s time to review the greatest westside disc there is the HARP

[@acemastermatt]

I have a domey swedish stamp titles sword king that's more stabler then my flat tilted king

[@mikaelnuutila6370]

Its probably finnish stamp, not swedish. Westside is a finnish company

True king has a stache, it gives even more distance and accuracy. Danny just lost it or I really hope this is prerecorded.

[@sshaw71]

My Queen is lonely and needs her King. Send to me and they will rule with a just and might over the Bronte Creek Course!

[@federicosorenson5008]

I have a king in tournament plastic (171g) and it just sooooo flippy, as soon as I put a bit of power it just goes to the right. It is hard to control for me (better saying: I am too bad controlling my angles) but I gotta say that I made my farthest thrown ever with a king (~110m or ~360 ft). I wish I could control it more.. so maybe that VIP King can help me practicing.. :P How about a review of the maiden?
