Testing out the new Latitude 64 Fury

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.

Latitude 64 Disc Golf Test Throws

On Thursday I received a package of disc golf discs from Latitude 64. These are some good looking discs in premium plastic. The only other discs I've been more impressed with by initial appearance and impression our Westside Discs, which are actually manufactured by Latitude 64.

Now, good looking golf discs are one thing, but what's more important is good flying golf discs. Driving home from work on Friday night I stopped by Skyview High, and amazingly, the football field actually wasn't being used. So I tried my new discs out.

I wasn't disappointed either. On my first round of throws I got both the Latitude 64 Bolt, and the Lightweight Diamond to travel more than 300 feet on backhand throws. Those are excellent throws for me.

I haven't been able to take these discs for a round yet, my local course was being used for some kind of Soccer tournament today, but hopefully soon.

The light Diamond is an understable disc of very light weight. My first few throws with it went straight and far. After I tried to get a little more power, it kept turning over on me, which leads me to believe I might be beyond a beginning disc golfer. That's a good feeling.

For beginners, this is the best driver I've ever tested. The Leopard and Roadrunner are good beginner golf discs, but this Diamond, and its lighter weight, makes this disc even better.
