Latitude 64
SKU: DG-L64-OI-CUL (REF2267-3)
Description
The Latitude 64 Opto-Ice Culverin fairway driver is a fairway driver between straight and overstable, molded in Opto-Ice plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on dependable fairway drives. Latitude 64 makes its discs in its own factory in the north of Sweden, designed by PDGA Hall of Famer Tomas Ekström.
Opto-Ice Plastic
Opto-Ice is a premium blend with a stiffness between Opto and Opto-X. It has great durability and more overstable flights than regular Opto.
The Mold
Many fairway drivers fly too straight, and many are too overstable. The Culverin fits between those two: advanced players see a straight first part of the flight followed by a dependable fade, with decent distance.
Stability
The Culverin is stable-to-overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard 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 suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
