VIP Vellamo Flight Numbers & Matrix

The Vellamo occupies a vital slot in your bag, offering a touch more stability than traditional understable midranges to handle full power without drifting off target:

With official flight ratings of 5 | 5.5 | 0 | 1.5, this midrange stands out due to its incredible high-speed stability and forward-pushing finish. It flies incredibly straight through the heart of its flight path, followed by a gentle, highly predictable fade at the tail end.

The Premium VIP Plastic Performance

This edition of the Vellamo utilizes Westside’s super-durable, hi-tech VIP plastic blend to deliver premium on-course performance:

• Translucent Aesthetic: VIP plastic is beautifully transparent, allowing you to see right through the flight plate while providing a sleek, polished look in your bag.
• Extreme Longevity: Discs molded in VIP plastic are engineered to maintain their original flight characteristics and out-of-the-box reliability for a remarkably long time, resisting permanent damage from hard tree or rock impacts.
• All-Skill Versatility: This firm, premium blend offers an excellent grip that performs smoothly for both casual recreational players and hard-throwing touring pros.
• Trilogy Consistency: For players familiar with Latitude 64's lineup, their renowned Opto-plastic is more than 98% identical to Westside's VIP-plastic, ensuring top-tier European polymer quality.

Frequently Asked Questions About the VIP Vellamo

How does the VIP Vellamo compare to the Tournament version?

While both variations share the same versatile design mold, the VIP blend features a transparent finish and a slightly stiffer hand feel. Compared to the opaque Westside Tournament Vellamo—which utilizes a slightly softer blend that seasons faster into a straight-to-turnover flyer—the VIP model retains its stable, wind-fighting flight properties much longer over time.

What type of throwing lines is the Vellamo best for?

Thanks to its neutral 0 turn and high 5.5 glide, the Vellamo is a pure line-shaper. It is an exceptional weapon for dead-straight tunnel shots, soft carving hyzers, or long, panning anhyzers where you need the disc to hold an angle for 80% of its flight before gently flattening down.

Is the Vellamo beginner friendly?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike overstable midranges that dump into the ground early, the Vellamo’s massive glide helps players with lower arm speeds achieve effortless distance, making it an excellent teaching tool for mastering clean release angles.
