Sapphire
The "Sapphire" by Latitude 64 is specifically designed for beginners and players with moderate arm speed who want an accessible distance driver for extra range. As part of the Easy-to-Use lineup, it combines a speed of 10 with an unusually high glide of 6, delivering distance potential without requiring excessive throwing power. Particularly in Opto and Gold Line plastics, it proves durable and grippy, with lighter weights around 160 grams further enhancing its beginner-friendliness. For advanced players, it remains a relevant bag option as a turnover tool or tailwind driver. In flight, the disc showcases its understable character with a controlled -2 turn: it drifts gently to the right (for RHBH throws) but maintains stability rather than flipping uncontrollably. The moderate fade of 1.5 ensures a smooth landing phase with a slight finish, keeping the flight path predictable. The pronounced glide noticeably extends hang time and compensates for lower release speeds—a key advantage for players still refining their technique. Advanced throwers leverage the understability for long anhyzer lines or turnover shots, while beginners will find it flies straight even on flat releases. For backhand throws, it excels as a first distance driver, forgiving technical flaws while still delivering genuine distance gains. On forehand, it remains manageable but requires some finesse to avoid overexaggerating the turn. Hyzer flips are reliable with moderate power, as the disc cleans up smoothly and glides long. Beginners benefit from the combination of distance and control, while intermediate players appreciate its versatility for shaping various lines—the "Sapphire" remains a dependable bag companion even as skills progress.
