Explorer | Latitude 64 · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Explorer" by Latitude 64 is a versatile fairway driver designed for controlled throws at medium distances. With a speed of 7, it bridges the gap between midrange discs and faster distance drivers, making it ideal for precise fairway shots as well as longer approach throws. The disc feels comfortable in the hand and is often compared to the Innova TeeBird, though it has its own distinct characteristics. The Opto plastic stands out for its durability and reliable flight, while Opto Air, with its reduced weight, offers extra glide potential. In flight, the "Explorer" delivers a straight trajectory with strong glide and a dependable fade at the end. A turn rating of 0 ensures stability even on powerful throws, while the moderate fade of 2 provides a controlled leftward finish. On backhand throws, it holds clean hyzer lines and remains stable on flat releases before predictably fading. It performs just as reliably on forehand shots, offering good control across various release angles. The high glide allows for longer flight phases compared to similarly overstable fairway drivers, making the disc effective even at moderate arm speeds. For intermediate players, the "Explorer" serves as a dependable workhorse, excelling in straight lines with a predictable finish. Beginners benefit from its forgiveness and consistent fade, which maintains control even on less-than-perfect releases. Advanced throwers appreciate its versatility for shaping different shots—from gentle hyzers to flat power shots that resist turning over. On wooded courses with tight fairways or in windy conditions, the disc shines with its reliable flight paths and absence of unexpected movements.
