Westside Giant

The Complete Westside Giant Collection

The Giant has officially been reborn. Westside Discs took one of their most iconic, hyper-overstable molds and completely reimagined it for the modern game. Now acting as a premier maximum distance driver in our disc golf distance drivers collection, the Giant Reborn features a larger overall diameter designed to capture massive aerodynamic lift. It trades the punishing, dumping fade of the original run for highly controllable, sweeping distance. Browse our full lineup of premium plastics below to find your new go-to bomber, or explore the wider Westside Discs Collection to complete your bag.

Understanding the Flight Dynamics & Stability

Sporting updated flight numbers of 12 | 6 | -0.5 | 2, the Giant Reborn is built to stay suspended in the air. The most significant upgrade to this mold is the class-leading 6 glide rating, achieved through its wider profile. The subtle -0.5 turn allows the disc to stand up flat from a hyzer or drift gently to the right when thrown with power. Instead of crashing into the ground early, the 2 fade ensures a smooth, forward-penetrating finish that maximizes your overall downfield carry.

What this collection brings to your game:

• Massive Gliding Distance: The architectural shift to a wider diameter traps more air under the flight plate, pushing your drives noticeably further than standard 12-speed drivers.
• Power Arm Control: For players throwing over 375 feet, the Giant Reborn rides a long, beautiful "frozen rope" trajectory before a predictable late fade kicks in.
• Intermediate Dependability: For players in the 300-350 foot range, it functions as a highly dependable, wind-resistant distance driver that offers significantly more forward push than traditional overstable meat hooks.

Choose the Right Westside Giant Plastic

Westside Discs offers the Giant Reborn in two distinct premium polymer blends, allowing you to fine-tune your grip and aesthetic preferences:

• VIP Giant Reborn - Molded in Westside's super-durable, hi-tech transparent plastic (98% similar to Latitude 64 Opto). It is incredibly stiff, takes heavy tree hits without warping, and maintains its original flight characteristics for a very long time.
• Tournament Giant Reborn - An advanced, opaque polymer blend that contains technical polymers for enhanced feel (similar to Latitude 64 Gold Line). It provides the exact same elite durability as VIP, but offers a tackier, slightly better grip for consistent releases in all weather conditions.

How this Category Aligns on the Fairway

The Giant Reborn is your primary weapon for wide-open airspace where maximum distance is required. While the original Giant was reserved strictly for extreme headwinds and utility flare skips, the Reborn version is designed to be your everyday workhorse driver. Whether you are lacing a long hyzer-flip down a wide fairway or throwing a massive, panning flex shot to maximize yardage, the massive glide and controllable fade ensure you stay in the middle of the fairway.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Westside Giant Reborn

How is the Giant Reborn different from the original Giant?

The original Giant (12/4/0/4) was a highly overstable utility driver meant for extreme headwinds. The Giant Reborn is a completely redesigned mold with a larger diameter, resulting in a glide-heavy (12/6/-0.5/2), highly controllable maximum distance driver built for sweeping S-curves.

What is the difference between VIP and Tournament plastic?

VIP is a transparent, ultra-durable plastic that tends to be slightly stiffer and holds its stability very well over time. Tournament plastic is opaque, offering the same elite durability but featuring a slightly tackier grip and a marginally faster break-in period.

Is the Giant Reborn good for beginners?

While it is much more accessible than the original Giant, a 12-speed driver is generally too fast for absolute beginners. However, developing intermediate players will find the massive 6 glide helps them push further down the fairway than they could with standard overstable 12-speed drivers.
