Latitude 64 Disc Golf Retro Burst Ruby Putter 3/5/-3/1 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Latitude 64 Retro Burst Ruby putter is the Easy-to-Use line's putt and approach disc, molded in Retro Burst plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on beginner-friendly putting. Latitude 64 makes its discs in its own factory in the north of Sweden, designed by PDGA Hall of Famer Tomas Ekström.
Retro Burst Plastic
Retro is Latitude 64's most affordable plastic, and it's about nostalgia: a blend made to remind players of mid-80s discs and to break in more easily, after years of requests. Burst mixes two colors in a variation of streaks, bringing each disc to life.
The Mold
The Ruby has a small grip, low weight, and a beginner-friendly flight. It's the putt and approach disc in Latitude's popular Easy-to-Use line.
Stability
The Ruby 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 | 3 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
