I was privileged to get a new Latitude 64 Fury to test out, even though the release date of this new driver isn't until April 25th.
What is known about this disc is that the plastic is awesome. My pink Fury is in the ultra durable opto-line plastic. It's already hit a plethora of trees but has now apparent signs of damage.
The unfortunate thing is that when I took it to test out, it was quite windy. It's really hard to determine a discs flight patterns, and tendencies, when you're not certain what was caused by the wind, and the flight tendencies actually are.
What I do know so far is that I had some pretty nice throws with the Fury. This disc is said to be more understable than the Saint, but my right out of the box Opto-Line version, seemed very Saint like. While the description on the Latitude 64 Saint says, "Overstable Control Driver," I never really found this disc to be overstable. The saint does indeed have a degree of end of flight fade, but it stays straight and glides for so long it's not "overstable."
The Fury is supposed to have a higher degree of high speed turn, and less fade. So far this is a great, slightly understable driver with excellent glide.
This is another great disc by Latitude 64, but I'm really not seeing how it offers anything new.
I'll take the Fury out for an actual disc golf round in about an hour, and hopefully will have more details on what this disc can do.
