The Westside Discs Sword is a 12-speed with barely any turn and a moderate finish — half a point of turn against two of fade puts it right on the neutral line for a distance driver.
That makes it a driver you can throw flat and trust. It will not flip out on a good rip and it will not fade out early either, so the whole flight is usable. Five glide is standard for the class, so distance comes from speed rather than float. It will take a hyzer-flip if you give it the angle, and it holds a line long enough to make that worth doing. You need real arm speed to see any of it — 12 is 12.
How much the Sword turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Sword was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
