[Westside] Seer

[tkaiser]

Any comparisons to a Leopard? Or is the Seer way longer?

 

[spinachd]

Is the Seer less or more stable than a Hatchet? I realize it's slower. It is rated for less turn but that is meaningless

 

[Nemmers]

I've never clicked 100% with the Witness for some reason. I get a good flip to flat out of the Witness, but not a turnover out of it. I find the Seer to be a little more predictable and controllable. Seer is a tick slower, feels smaller in the hand, but likely runs similar lines.

I've become a bit partial to Dynamic for some reason. Love the Verdict, love the Truth, and just bought a Fugitive today just to say I have all bases covered. That said, I have a 170g Witness that I also love....mostly because I can turn that bad boy over and watch it ride right, but knowing it'll eventually settle down and fade. Bottom line though: In my experience, the Witness is like a Roadrunner with more fade.

Back to the Seer...

I got a Hatchet from PIAS because it was cheap. I didn't want to like Westside discs for some reason (even though they rep the same brand essentially), but I absolutely love the Hatchet. Way more controllable. I bought a Seer because I wanted something similar but slower (and because I'm addicted to buying plastic) and I found that the Seer is a bit more stable than the Hatchet....despite the lower speed.

I see the Seer as being more like slightly-more-stable Leopard. A good hyzer-flip disc for those right-to-left dogleg shots that you need to make the corner, pop-up straight and ride down the fairway....

....like a Leopard.

I concur Nemmers - I was going to post the same thing, but didn't feel I had the experience with the Seer to have a valid judgement.

Threw it a good bunch again this evening, and yeah, it is a pretty unique little disc in the Trilogy family, slower and more stable than a Diamond. Warship would be the closest I could say, although I think Warship is glidier.

This disc is a work in progress, but I like what I've seen so far.

Have yet to play a round with it - we'll see how that goes.

Leopard may be as close a comparison as there is.

Ok, thanks for the comparison between the Seer and Witness, guys. I've seen plenty of people at this point compare it to a Warship, a disc I bag and use plenty. Is there a noticeable niche this disc might claim in my bag that a Warship doesn't already cover, in your opinions?

 

[TheBMeistor]

Seer would cover Warship lines that are lower under trees and whatnot. Seer can do those low lines without fading hard.

I have a fresh Pro Leopard I'll throw in the bag to compare my Seer to. I still think a Cheetah will be the closest comparison but I'll try out the Leopard tomorrow.

One of the most used terms to advertise a disc is probably "it feels great in the hand". The Seer sure does. Great disc for beginners pretty versatile but forgiving? Well atleast my 168 TP is not. It can be used for small hyzer shots, straight shots, you name it but whenever i gave it a bit of anhyzer release this disc went to the ground quikly and started rolling. I really like the feel and the grip i get from my tp Seer but the flight is still a riddle for me.

 

[TheBMeistor]

Threw my Seer next to a max weight fresh pro leopard today. They are pretty close in flight to me but the Seer will return from a little more anny than the leopard. It will pan out to flat where the leopard holds its line to the ground. Goes at least as far as leopard but most of my throws it passed the leopard by 10' or so.

Seemed like the Seer faded a little more to the left than the Leopard too.

btothej89 how far are you throwing your Seer? I am getting my Seer about 300ft and it is still recovering from anny at that distance, I would imagine it would go past that before becoming a roller. Mine is 173g and dark blue. It is the kind of disc I could imagine big arms using as a roller disc though.

 

[btothej89]

Thrown hard i got it out to about 310-315ft. My Seer sits at 168g, maybe thats the reason why it is more us...idk...

 

[TheBMeistor]

Yeah it might be the lighter ones are a lot less stable. I did select mine from over 20 at the shop and I picked the most stable one I could find (highest PLH). Mine also has a little less dome than the average ones.

 

[Monkeypaws]

These hyzer flip onto a breeze pretty nicely. I threw one straight into it and it turned like crazy but didn't flip. Carried out there surprisingly far considering I gave it middling power.

 

[Monkeypaws]

Just curious, anybody here have much experience with the Discraft Zombee?

Spec wise looks like a very similar disc.

 

[Monkeypaws]

Threw this a bunch more today - I am impressed by the fade of the Seer - in flight, it reminds me a lot of the Jade, surprisingly stable, and willing to fight out of an annie unless torqued up the wazoo: s-curve machine for the rubber arms.

 

[TheBMeistor]

Yeah I am loving mine, even dumped all my Eagles for it (and I love Eagles). Comfortable and forgiving. I have the same experience in that it will do a nice turnover into wind but won't force it anny spiked into the ground.

I did replace my Eagles with OLF's so I don't really miss them.

I have a tie tye Zombee but it is a freak of a disc, WAY higher PLH that the others I compared it too and much much flatter. It flies like a shorter stalker and not much like a Seer at all, not much wiggle at all and a decent fade. I imagine the normal ones would fly somewhat like a Seer.

The small ditch I threw mine into is now a lake thanks to Red River backwater. Both of our courses are closed. It might be in the Gulf Of Mexico by now. :banghead:

And here I thought we were getting washed up here in NOLA!

Water is over the road just past the turn off to #1 tee. A little to the left of this pic.

Onemile, I love your reviews but they're tough on my wallet. I was barely able to resist pulling the trigger on an Insanity (as I have multiple Inertias and Impulses) but I'm not going to be able to resist this one.

2 questions:
I know you love your FDs and so do I. How does the Seer compare in distance and stability?
Any thoughts on VIP versus Tournament? I assume VIP would have a touch more fade?

Thanks for the sweet review on Noodle Arm!
