  High glide.
- Can be used for forehand and backhand throws.
- Moderate rim width for a speed 14 disc.
- Good for generating long drives.

Things to Consider:

Stability: While listed as overstable by some sources, other reviews and the flight numbers (especially the turn rating) suggest it can be more understable in practice, especially with higher arm speeds or in certain plastics. This can make it sensitive to throwing conditions and technique.
Beginner Friendly? The high speed rating makes it not recommended for beginners. Players new to disc golf should consider lower speed discs (7-10 speed) for more reliable drives.
Plastic Types: Different plastic types, such as VIP and Tournament Burst, may affect the stability. For example, VIP plastic may be slightly more overstable than Tournament Burst.

Overall, the Westside King is a powerful distance driver for players with sufficient arm speed and technique to handle a fast, potentially understable disc. It has the potential for significant distance and a variety of shot shapes when thrown correctly.
