Manufacturers official product description:

Westside Sword is a speed 12 stable/overstable distance driver with lots of glide and accuracy. The Sword reacts well to different release angles and holds the angle during the whole flight. This makes the Sword great for straight shots, long hyzers and long unhyzers. Westside Sword is suitable also for sidearm throws. You can have most out of this disc if your PDGA rating is around 900-950. Westside Sword is a PDGA approved disc.

VIP-plastics properties

Super-durable hi-tech plastic with excellent performance. VIP plastic is transparent so you can see through it. Discs made in VIP-plastic maintain their flight characteristics and reliability for a long time. This plastic is suitable to both recreational players and pro players. Latitude Opto-plastic is more than 98% similar to Westside VIP-plastic.

Tournament-plastics properties

An advanced version of VIP-plastic that contains technical polymers. You cannot see through Tournament plastic. The durability of Tournament plastic is at the same level than VIP Plastic, but the Tournament's grip is slightly better. Our Tournament plastic is closely similar to Latitude GOLD plastic.

BT-plastics properties

New Westside BT plastic has great flight characteristics, exactly as good as VIP and Tournament plastics. A novice player may feel the BT plastic easier to grip than our other plastics. The BT plastic is more economical compared to high-end VIP and Tournament plastics but BT plastics durability is not as good. The new BT plastic will be released first to selected department stores customers in Finland in March 2012. Exports to U.S. and to Europe are planned to start at a later time during this season.
