by
Latitude 64
SKU: DG-L64-G-MAUL (REF2467-9)
Description
The Latitude 64 Gold Maul fairway driver is a turnover fairway driver like a less stable River, molded in Gold plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on turnovers and easy control. Latitude 64 makes its discs in its own factory in the north of Sweden, designed by PDGA Hall of Famer Tomas Ekström.
Gold Plastic
Gold Line is Latitude 64's premium blend. It starts from the same plastics used in Opto Line, with an added polymer for better grip without losing Opto's excellent durability.
The Mold
The Maul resembles the popular River in speed and glide but is more understable. It's a great choice for beginners and amateurs because it's easy to grip and control and won't fade as much as high-speed drivers.
Stability
The Maul is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 7 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 7 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
