Striker | Latitude 64 · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Striker" from Latitude 64 is a fairway driver with a speed of 8, ideal for controlled lines between 80 and 100 meters. With a glide of 5, the disc stays airborne longer, making it perfect for precise fairway shots where space between trees or under low ceilings is limited. The combination of moderate speed and reliable flight path makes it a great option for players seeking distance without maximum arm speed. Available in Gold Line and Opto plastics, it proves to be a versatile tool, capable of both straight lines and gentle anhyzer releases. In the air, the "Striker" behaves differently depending on the plastic and throwing technique. While the manufacturer's ratings of turn 0 and fade 2 suggest an overstable nature, many throws in Opto Line show significantly less stability—the disc holds anhyzer angles over longer distances and works well for turnover shots, whether forehand or backhand. With a hyzer release, it flips to flat and finishes with a gentle fade. This variation between plastic types requires attention: Opto versions tend to fly straighter or slightly understable, while other plastics may align more closely with the flight ratings. For beginners, the "Striker" offers an accessible way to learn fairway shots without needing excessive arm speed. Advanced players appreciate the disc for controlled turnover lines and anhyzer shots, where it reliably holds the chosen angle. On tunnel shots and under low ceilings, the flight remains predictable. Over time, the "Striker" becomes an even straighter flyer, suitable for S-curves and longer anhyzer releases—a solid choice for anyone prioritizing precision over raw distance.
