    The Harp! I was lucky to pick this disc up from my local vendor in BT soft right after looking for my first overstable approach disc. I had been working with mostly straight-to-understable discs for my first three months playing, and after reading a lot about the benefits of the Harp, Zone, and similar discs, tried it out. I knew the Harp was an instant asset from my first throw. On a fast hyzer line, the Harp followed a beautiful, steep arc unlike anything I had thrown before. On a flat shot, it would fade predictably as soon as it lost speed. On an anhyzer line, it would fight out to flat or all the way back to a strong fade depending on the release speed and angle. 

    I prefer the Zone only due to handle feel because the rim of the Harp is a little too deep and square for my preference. However, you can't go wrong with the Harp if you prefer the hand feel, and the more substantial rim on the Harp might instill more confident releases for some players. If I lose my Zone, the Harp will go right in the bag as a holdover!

    I would put the Harp right up there with the popular Zone. The only reason I stopped throwing the Harp was because I liked the feel of the Tactic by Discmania a little more for my forehand upshots (in the exo soft plastic). 

    If you want a disc for your approach game, this is a great choice! It's reliable fade makes it predictable and once you get used to it, you can zero in on your target and make those putts even shorter for yourself. I recommend a grippier plastic like the BT Medium or Soft for upshots and the VIP or Tournament for throwing off the Tee box. 

    If you are looking to add an approach putter or slower overstable mid to your game, look no further than the Harp by Westside!

    This is the first disc I bought specifically to throw forehand. I was primarily a backhand player. This disc helped me learn how to throw forehands very well. Its comfortable to hold (but not like any other disc I have ever held). It has a blunt nose and mine was very puddle top. It works very well as an approach disc. It is consistently stable and has nearly no skip. I quickly learned how to accurately place it close to the basket.

    This disc is still my go to approach disc. I now mostly throw forehands on my approach and this disc is a large reason why. It helped me learn forehand mechanics and now I can throw other discs pretty well with my forehand. I would recommend this to almost all people that want to learn a forehand.

    The harp in the medium plastic does beat in over time. It becomes a little less stable and more of a straight flying disc. It still can handle some power though. I recently bought an MVP Entropy as a more overstable throwing putter and they compliment each other well now that my harp is less stable. I still think the harp is way more comfortable to hold.

    I have been using 2 versions of the Zone for several months now. I like them both a lot, but the Jawbreaker simply beat in far too quickly and once I had the chance to see what a Harp felt like in my hands I was sold. I knew I wanted one.

    The harp has a perfectly flat top, is a tad deeper than the Zone and I feel like it just might be a touch more overstable as well. It's the perfect approach disc or when you need a strong fade on a shorter wooded hole. 

    The BT Medium is similar to the Classic Blend as far as touch/feel, and I LOVE that plastic! It's grippy and doesn't beat in as quickly as the Origio/Prime does. I highly recommend the Harp for EVERY player, because every player needs a great overstable approach putter, and this is the one to get.

    The Harp started out as an experiment. I was used to Aviar style putters and this was my first venture outside of that design.  First, second and third impressions were that I made a mistake. This disc kept dumping hard at the end of a relatively short (100'ish) flight. However, not deterred,  I continued to throw this disc in extensive field work. Once mastering the speed and angle of release, I realized the consistency of it. Every throw at level or slight anny broke at exactly the same point and to the same degree. Ultimately the Harp became the most reliable disc in the fold in its class. That said, I do not recommend for tight woods. Unless looking for a predictable fade. This is more of an open upshot disc (for me yrmv). Have not attempted forehand. 

    I rate 4 stars because of reliability,  usefulness and feel. Under 5 because of the learning curve I needed to feel comfortable with this disc.

    A pleasure for the bag, a pleasure for the hand, and a pleasure to throw. Very dependable and trustworthy for any line you place it on. I bag the BT Med and Hard, both are great. Shorter rips I go medium and longer tosses I throw hard. On extra windy days they serve as my putter too.

    I have a BT Medium, 174 gram Harp.  I'm a beginner/intermediate player and primarily throw my Harp RHFH.

    I use this disc for approaches 150' and in.  The course I primarily play is extremely up and down, and I usually find myself throwing out of the middle of a sagebrush for upshots, so I throw a lot of forehand approaches because of awkward footing.  It will definitely turn and burn if I throw it too hard on a flat or anhyzer release, but baby flex shots just settle down right where I want them.  Hyzer shots can take a lot more power and I've had no problems with them flipping over on me.  It handles a head wind fairly well on a hyzer, but becomes a little more unpredictable.

    I average one or two throw-ins a round with my Harp, mostly because I run everything with sagebrush everywhere, and half the holes are tones.  Other than my putter, it's my most used disc.

    I wear size Large gloves, and the Harp fits my hand like a . . . glove.  I was worried the micro bead would feel weird, but I don't even notice it.  As it's beaten in, it's become slightly less stable and developed a puddle top, both of which are things I love.  The BT Medium plastic rarely skips or rolls, even on some of the more treacherous slopes.

    I love this disc.

    Arguably the best disc Westside has ever produced, this is a perfect approach disc both backhand and forehand thanks to it's low glide and reliable soft  fade. 

    I have a 172 G BT Med Harp that I've been throwing for years, and it's extremely beat in but it still does it's job very well, just doesn't fade as much anymore. My favorite shot to throw with the harp are high anhyzer flexes that helicopter to the basket before sitting gently beside it (on a lucky day I'll throw it in)

    You can never go wrong with a harp

    My go to disc for forehand and backhand approaches..... well I guess its my go to for just about any tee shot within 325ft also.

    A brand new BT Medium will reliably fade which such a clean release for both backhand and forehand, but the true beauty off the tee is when you beat it in a little bit. You may have you card mates asking if your disc is broken or if it was run over by a car a few times. Dont worry how it ends up looking, that deformed and warped monster is going to save you strokes every round.

    Having a fresh one and a deformed monster in the bag can cover any shot you need. From holding a hyzer the entire way without a worry of turning over to hyzer flipping dead straight 300+ feet with the gentlest of fade towards the basket.

    I highly recommend this disc.

    I was throwing this today in my yard with my Axiom Pro Basket, trying to figure out if this was going to be my all around Approach AND Putt disc. It will be. 

    From about 150 feet out, you absolutely need this disc. It has a very consistent and dependable flight as an approach disc. Mine dives into the ground as it finishes instead of gliding into a finish, which is actually a blessing because it sticks where it lands (usually right under the basket). It is very stable... maybe even more than the numbers suggest, but that is a great thing for intermediate arms. 

    For a putting perspective.. it is a feel thing. Some players would advise shying away from a 4 speed putter, and to some extent I agree, which is why I'm personally conflicted about it. But here's what I've seen it do for my personal putting approach (everyone is different!). I do a hybrid push and spin putt, and this disc has a really flat top that has an edge on the rim of the disc. The top kind of wings out, creating a sloped rim on this putter, which is quite unusual from most frisbee putters. What I've noticed is that my pointer finger fits very comfortably on this slope, giving me easy consistent spins on my putts. This creates a very dependable right to left fade on my putts.

    I picked up a Harp at my local disc store to try out. It started out as a nice overstable approach disc for both backhand and forehand. I must admit that it is not the most comfortable disc. The only plastic I have tried is BT Medium, which is not very durable, and the harp has shown this in a few months of throwing. The Harp has lost a lot of it's stability, and the bottom of the rim as well as the flight plate have deformed. I would say this is a good disc if you are willing to cycle multiple on a regular basis.

    the harp is my go over stable disc for anything 275 feet and in. I don't use this disc for Putts  at all. But I treat it a small a mid range and very reliable approach disc. Very trustworthy in all situations. It flies well for both back hands and forehands. Flips up and has a nice bite ornate fade at the end. Love this disc and always keep it in my bag. Make sure you get one. Don't let it fool you. You can get some distance with this disc and fill a lot of gaps in your bag and hit a lot of gaps and lines on the course.

    I bought this for flick upshots, and in that role it excels!  Haven't figured it out for drives yet. It seems to come out of my hand low every time and to the right.  I prefer the Pure for throwing a putter off the teepad. 

    I bag it just for the flick upshots, but dont think I will replace it if lost, as the Pure will do what the Harp does, and if I need more hyzer I'll just power down a Truth or Verdict.

    This disc can carry the weight of a versatile putter and slightly OS midrange. It can hold hyzer lines and flex lines off the tee. It can also hold pretty straight putts from a ways out, but if you want straighter flight, get a softer plastic like bt sold or megasoft.

    For those of you who know me, I tend to switch putters more than I change my underwear (not really). Being a push putter, head winds tend to knock my putts out of the air and cause me to miss in side the circle putts. In a tailwind I can smash putts well outside of the circle and this is mainly my putting style. If you are a push putter and are having the same problem try the harp as your putting putter. It is great in a headwind and still offers the glide for those tailwind putts that are effortless when you are push putting!

    I bag 3 harps. Lucid, medium and soft plastic in least to most stable. I throw the lucid off the tee for a straight to left line. The medium and soft are for approach. The medium tends to be less stable where the soft is hyzering all the way. They're predictable and I know they'll stick. My soft is beat to the point of the so called bacon top and its as stable as ever. This is one disc that will never leave my bag. You do have to be careful how you store them. I've had mediums that have a crease in them and cant seem to get them out. Doesn't affect the flight that I can tell but bothers my grip. If you're looking for an upshot disc that you need to depend on fading and sticking I would suggest a medium or soft harp all day.

    Picking up a BT Hard Harp was an literally an instant game changer for me - my first round out with it, I threw it for a 150' birdie on a long par 3 I usually play for par!

    I don't think it's quite right to call the Harp a putter. The only situation I can imagine actually putting with it in would a be a spin putt into a high head wind. It's an approach disc. So, it's a bit of a specialist, but it does the thing it specializes in very, very well. It has quickly become the disc I reach for most often for approach shots inside of 200'.

    At least when new, a BT Hard Harp is quite overstable for a disc of this slow a speed rating. Even thrown into the wind it will finish with a very predictable fade to the left. It's also not very glidey. Pretty much drops like a rock once it runs out of forward momentum. But it's exactly these two characteristics that make it such a predictable and highly controllable approach tool. Throw it out slightly to the right of your target, and it will go the same distance every time based on how hard you threw it, and fade to the left. You never have to worry about it catching the wind and gliding 50ft past the basket. Or turning over and missing the line to the right. It goes exactly where you put throw it, the only variable is you. Thrown with a touch of anhyzer, it will fade very late and land flat as pancake, which is very useful for hitting a green where rollaways are a danger.

    So it's hard for me to think of another disc that has shaved strokes off my game so dramatically as the Harp. If I'm less that than 200' from the pin and have a slight hyzer line available, I'm throwing my Harp. 9/10 it'll stick a within a few feet of the pin. This has cut way down on the amount of long putts I have to make, and thereby turned a lot of would-be bogeys into pars.

    Man I love this Harp - it's my new favorite disc. Super shallow with a nice flat top, it feels great in the hand. I used to wish that I could use my Firebird as an upshot disc more often. Now, I basically can. This is my baby Firebird. Straight flight with a nice hard fade. Sticks landings very well too. It fights the wind, and I've actually been putting with it a bit. Great off the tee too - just an all around excellent disc. I can't wait to try it in other plastics!

    This is a great stable to over-stable driving putter.  The BT Medium and Soft plastics are really good at sticking where they land.  The VIP and Tourney are better for longer putter drives with a bit of skip at the end.  Great for OS approaches and forehand putter shots with little action off the ground at landing.  Great disc, would recommend for forehand players and anyone looking for a trustworthy OS approach putter.
