by
Latitude 64
SKU: DG-L64-O-BLST (REF190-6)
Description
The Latitude 64 Opto Ballista distance driver is one of the fastest discs in the world with a dependable flight, molded in Opto plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on max-speed distance drives. Latitude 64 makes its discs in its own factory in the north of Sweden, designed by PDGA Hall of Famer Tomas Ekström.
Opto Plastic
Opto Line is made from some of the world's most durable plastics and comes in a variety of beautiful translucent colors. It's developed to withstand severe punishment and extreme conditions better than other plastics.
The Mold
The Ballista combines speed with accuracy: one of the fastest discs in the world with a dependable flight path. It's overstable for beginners and slightly understable for experienced players.
Stability
The Ballista is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 14 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Latitude 64 Ballista good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 14 speed it needs real arm speed.
Is the Latitude 64 Ballista overstable?
Not really. The Ballista is stable, rated 14/5/-1/3, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Opto and Gold plastic?
Opto is translucent and ultra-durable. Gold adds a polymer for better grip with the same durability.
What disc is similar to the Latitude 64 Ballista?
The Latitude 64 Opto Ballista Pro (14/4/0/3) is its more stable big brother.
How far does the Latitude 64 Ballista fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 430 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
