Westside Discs VIP Giant Reborn 12 | 6 | -0.5 | 2
The Giant has returned, completely reimagined for maximum downfield glide and effortless carry. The Westside Discs VIP Giant Reborn takes the new, larger-diameter architecture of this classic mold and pairs it with Westside's most durable, translucent premium plastic. As a standout offering in the Westside Giant Collection, this 12-speed bomber is a premier choice in our disc golf distance drivers collection. It leaves the hyper-overstable meat hook days of the original Giant in the past, offering players a highly controllable, sweeping distance driver that you can trust on every single tee pad.
Flight Numbers
Boasting a 12-speed rim and a class-leading 6 glide, the Giant Reborn is designed to stay suspended in the air. The subtle -0.5 turn allows the disc to flip up gently from a hyzer or drift slightly right on a flat release, maximizing fairway yardage. The 2 fade ensures the flight finishes with a smooth, forward-penetrating hook rather than a dumping, aggressive crash.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 6 | -0.5 | 2 |
The VIP Giant Reborn delivers:
- Maximum Gliding Distance: The wider diameter flight plate traps air perfectly, generating noticeably more lift and carry than traditional 12-speed drivers.
- Power Arm Control (375'+): Thrown flat and hard, it rides a long, beautiful "frozen rope" trajectory before a predictable late fade kicks in.
- Intermediate Dependability (300'-350'): Functions as a wind-resistant distance driver that won't turn over on you, while still offering significantly more forward push than older overstable runs.
It excels at:
- Long, sweeping flex lines that maximize open fairway airspace
- Controlled hyzer-flips that stand up flat and push straight for days
- Maintaining its original flight characteristics through heavy course wear
The VIP Plastic Advantage
Westside’s VIP plastic is a super-durable, hi-tech blend designed for excellent, long-lasting performance. It is completely transparent, allowing you to see right through the flight plate for a stunning candy-clear aesthetic. Discs made in VIP plastic are famous for maintaining their original flight characteristics and reliability for a very long time, absorbing tree kicks and hard ground impacts without warping. If you are familiar with the Trilogy family, Latitude 64’s Opto plastic is more than 98% similar to Westside VIP. It is suitable for both recreational and pro players who want a stiff, extremely durable premium grip.
How the Giant Reborn Fits in the Westside Lineup
- Vs the Original Westside Giant: The original Giant (12/4/0/4) was a highly overstable, wind-fighting utility driver. The Giant Reborn is an entirely new, wider shape, yielding massively more glide, less stability, and vastly improved workability for max distance.
- Vs the Westside Tournament Giant Reborn: Tournament plastic is an opaque, advanced polymer that offers a slightly tackier grip. VIP plastic is transparent, typically molds up a hair stiffer, and holds its overstable finish slightly longer before beating in.
- Vs the Westside Sword: The Sword shares similar flight numbers (12/5/-0.5/2), but the Giant Reborn's larger diameter generates noticeably more lift and a full 6 glide rating, keeping it suspended in the air longer for maximum downfield carry.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Giant Reborn
What is Westside VIP plastic?
VIP is Westside's super-durable, hi-tech transparent plastic. It allows you to see through the disc and is highly regarded for maintaining its flight characteristics for a long time. It is over 98% similar to Latitude 64's Opto plastic.
How is the Giant Reborn different from the original Giant?
It is a completely redesigned disc. The original Giant was an aggressive, hyper-overstable utility driver meant for extreme headwinds. The Giant Reborn features a larger diameter to create a glide-heavy, highly controllable maximum distance driver built for sweeping S-curves.
Is the VIP Giant Reborn good for intermediate players?
Yes. Even though it is a 12-speed driver, the immense 6 glide and subtle -0.5 turn make it much more accessible than most discs in its speed class. Intermediate players will find it to be a dependable, wind-resistant driver that pushes further than standard overstable molds.
