Westside Discs Tournament Giant Reborn 12 | 6 | -0.5 | 2
The Giant has officially awakened, but not as you remember it. The Westside Discs Tournament Giant Reborn completely reimagines this classic mold, transforming it from a hyper-overstable utility disc into a highly controllable maximum distance machine. Taking the spotlight in the Westside Giant Collection, this 12-speed driver introduces a larger overall diameter engineered to optimize aerodynamic lift. The result is an incredibly balanced addition to our disc golf distance drivers collection that blends speed, effortless carry, and a dependable finish for massive, sweeping S-curves.
Flight Numbers
Featuring a 12-speed rim and a class-leading 6 glide rating, the Giant Reborn is built to stay airborne. The subtle -0.5 turn replaces the old run's harsh resistance, allowing the disc to gently flip up to flat from a hyzer angle or drift into a beautiful, panning line when thrown flat. The 2 fade ensures it finishes with a smooth, forward-penetrating hook rather than a punishing, dumping crash.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 6 | -0.5 | 2 |
The Tournament Giant Reborn delivers:
- 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 (375'+): When thrown flat with high velocity, it rides a long, beautiful "frozen rope" trajectory before a predictable, late fade.
- Intermediate Dependability (300'-350'): Functions as a highly dependable, wind-resistant distance driver that offers significantly more forward push and carry than a traditional Destroyer clone.
It excels at:
- Long, sweeping flex lines that maximize open fairway airspace
- Controlled hyzer-flips that stand up flat and push straight for days
- Smooth, flat-release drives that require a dependable but gentle fade
The Tournament Plastic Advantage
Westside’s Tournament plastic is an advanced version of VIP-plastic that contains technical polymers to enhance the feel and flight. You cannot see through Tournament plastic, as it boasts a highly opaque, premium finish. While the durability of Tournament plastic remains at the exact same elite level as VIP Plastic, players consistently find that Tournament's grip is slightly better and tackier in the hand. If you are familiar with the Trilogy family, this Tournament blend is closely similar to Latitude 64’s beloved Gold Line plastic.
How the Giant Reborn Fits in the Westside Lineup
- Vs the Original Westside Giant: The original Giant (12/4/0/4) was an aggressive, wind-fighting meat hook. The Giant Reborn is an entirely new shape with a wider diameter, yielding massively more glide, less stability, and vastly improved workability for max distance.
- Vs the Westside VIP Giant: The VIP blend is a translucent premium plastic that is typically slightly stiffer and a touch more overstable out of the box. Tournament plastic gives you a better, tackier grip and a slightly more pliable, glide-heavy flight from day one.
- Vs the Westside Sword: The Sword shares similar flight numbers, but the Giant Reborn's larger diameter generates noticeably more lift and glide, keeping it suspended in the air longer for maximum downfield carry.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Giant Reborn
How is the Giant Reborn different from the original Giant?
It is a completely different disc. The original Giant was a highly overstable utility driver meant for extreme headwinds. The Giant Reborn features a larger diameter and a redesigned profile to create a glide-heavy, highly controllable maximum distance driver built for sweeping S-curves.
What does Tournament plastic feel like?
Tournament plastic is an advanced, opaque polymer blend closely similar to Latitude 64 Gold Line. It provides the exact same high-end durability as translucent VIP plastic, but offers a slightly better, tackier grip for consistent releases in all weather conditions.
Is the Tournament Giant Reborn good for intermediate players?
Yes. While it is a 12-speed driver, the class-leading 6 glide and subtle -0.5 turn make it much more accessible than most discs in its speed class. Intermediate players throwing 300 to 350 feet will find it to be a dependable, wind-resistant driver that pushes further than their standard overstable drivers.
