The Westside Northman is one of Westside's original drivers, built to be approachable rather than demanding. Westside notes that its bigger feel in the hand gives it extra float in the air, and describes it as fast and dependable across a range of arm speeds. For faster arms the Northman flies straight with a small fade and finishes stable. For lower arm speeds it stays stable but practically hovers, which is what makes it work for players who cannot bring a fast driver up to full speed. This is a good pick for players with decent arm speed who want a distance driver that will not frustrate them, and its in-air flex helps cover extra ground.

Common questions

Is the Westside Northman good for beginners?
It is one of the more approachable distance drivers. Westside notes that at lower arm speeds it stays stable and practically hovers, which helps newer players get carry rather than early fade.
What is the Northman good for?
Dependable distance drives at a range of power levels, straight lines with a small fade, and shots where you want float and carry rather than a hard finish.
What is VIP plastic?
VIP is Westside's flagship premium plastic. It is translucent, very durable, and holds its flight characteristics for a long time, with a firm, consistent grip.
