The Westside Tursas is an understable midrange disc in the Westside Discs lineup, known for its beginner-friendliness and versatility.
Here's a breakdown of its key features:
Flight Characteristics:
Understable:The Tursas is designed to turn right when thrown with a backhand by a right-handed player (or left for a left-handed player).
Good Glide:It has a good amount of glide, helping it stay in the air and travel further.
Beginner-Friendly:Its understability and glide make it easy to throw straight or with a gentle hyzer flip for newer players.
Turnover Shots:More experienced players can use the Tursas for turnover shots, where the disc turns right and stays on that line.
Hyzer Flips:It's also good for hyzer flip shots, where the disc is released on a hyzer angle, flips up to flat, and then continues flying straight or with a slight turn.
Feel and Grip:
Shallower Grip:The Tursas has a shallower grip than many other midranges, making it comfortable for players with smaller hands, including ladies and kids.
Beadless Rim:It has a beadless rim, which some players prefer for a cleaner release.
Plastic Types:
The Tursas is available in various Westside Discs plastics, including:
VIP:A durable, translucent plastic.
Tournament:A more opaque, grippy plastic, similar in durability to VIP.
: A lighter version of VIP plastic, offering less stability.
Elasto:A flexible plastic, good for cold weather.
In summary:The Westside Tursas is a popular choice for beginners and experienced players looking for an understable midrange with good glide and a comfortable feel. It's a versatile disc that can be used for a variety of shots, including straight throws, turnover shots, and hyzer flips.
