# Latitude 64 Rocket The "Rocket" by Latitude 64 targets throwers with high arm speed, offering maximum distance with controllable fade. As an overstable distance driver, it excels in headwind conditions and long fairway shots requiring a reliable finish. Its distinctive Opto Hex design on the flight plate reduces drag and enhances the disc's unique appearance. In flight, the "Rocket" behaves differently than its ratings suggest: While its Speed 15, Glide 4, Turn -2, and Fade 3 promise moderate turnover with a strong finish, it often proves more unstable in practice. With medium to high arm speed, it tends to turn early and can even cut roll with excessive anhyzer or poor release. Glide is noticeably lower than expected, limiting overall distance despite its high speed rating. Only with steep hyzer releases or precise throws by experienced players does it achieve stable forward flight with controlled fade. The Opto Hex plastic provides solid grip, and the thumb grooves aid hand positioning. For advanced players with consistent technique, the "Rocket" can serve as a distance driver when thrown precisely with steep hyzer angles. Beginners and players with moderate arm speed should avoid it—this disc forgives little, flips easily, and lacks glide. Those seeking a reliable overstable option for wind and distance may find better alternatives elsewhere. The "Rocket" remains a niche disc for players who can leverage its specific flight characteristics effectively.
