My Disc Collection: Claymore by Latitude 64
Disc golf is a sport that has grown significantly in popularity over the last few years. One of the main components of the game is the disc itself. In this post I’ll take a look at my favorite Midrange disc: The Claymore (gold line) by Lattitude 64.
There are many different types of discs, each with its own unique characteristics that make it suitable for certain situations. The Latitude 64 Gold Line Claymore is one such disc that has gained a reputation for being a versatile and reliable midrange disc. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the Claymore and why it is such a popular choice among disc golfers.
Claymore by Latitude 64
The Latitude 64 Gold Line Claymore is a midrange disc that is designed to be thrown with precision and accuracy. It has a slightly understable flight pattern, which means it will turn to the right for right-handed throwers (and to the left for left-handed throwers) before fading back to the left (or right). This makes it a great choice for tight fairways and other situations where accuracy is essential.
Design
The Claymore has a diameter of 21.7 cm and a rim width of 1.3 cm.
It is available in weights ranging from 165-180.1 grams. The disc has a flat top and a beaded rim, which makes it comfortable to hold and easy to release. The Gold Line plastic used in the Claymore is durable and gives an excellent grip, even in wet conditions.
Flight Characteristics
The flight characteristics of the Claymore are what really set it apart from other midrange discs.
It has a high glide rating (5 out of 7), which means it will stay in the air for longer than many other midrange discs. It also has a low fade rating (1 out of 5), which means it will not fade as much at the end of its flight. The Claymore’s understable flight pattern allows it to fly straight for longer distances, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced players.
Uses
The Claymore is a versatile disc that can be used in a variety of situations.
It is particularly useful for shots that require a high level of accuracy, such as tight fairways or approaches to the basket. It is also great for turnover shots and hyzer flips, where you release the disc at angle and then turns in the opposite direction.
Conclusion
The Latitude 64 Gold Line Claymore is a popular midrange disc among disc golfers of all skill levels.
Its versatility, accuracy, and reliability make it an excellent choice for a wide range of shots. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, the Claymore is a disc that is definitely worth trying out. With its durable Gold Line plastic and unique flight characteristics, the Claymore is sure to become a favorite in your disc golf bag.
