An easy distance driver for beginners
Is distance driving only for professionals? Well, no. Say hello to Latitude 64's first distance driver in the Easy-to-Use Line.
It's light, it's fast, yet easy to grip and control.
Sapphire is designed to be the perfect partner to Diamond, Latitude 64's most popular easy-to-use fairway driver.
With Sapphire, you get that extra speed and stability in your set of Discs.
It has a narrow profile for smooth release, and it's easy to get a good grip, especially for those with smaller hands.
Retro plastic provides good grip and is beginner-friendly
Good grip and beginner-friendly flight lines. This is the perfect plastic blend for a first disc.
This is also Latitude 64's most affordable plastic. Latitude 64 has long wanted to make Discs that brakes more easily.
Test after test led Latitude 64 to this plastic mix which is called Retro.
Burst effect
Two mixed colors in varying stripes bring our BurstDiscs to life.
Patterns and color combinations are unique to each individual disc and will differ from the sample image.
Easy-to-Use
On courses around the world there are many players using Discs that they cannot handle.
People read "Maximum Distance Driver" and think they will get more distance when that is often not the case.
To solve this we have developed a series of Discs aimed at beginners, children and anyone who does not throw over 300 feet.
The uniqueness of these discs is that they combine low weight with small, easy to grip rims.
A large group of players will find that these Discs not only improve their scores but also the enjoyment
of actually playing Disc Golf with Discs flying for them instead of just going into the fade and landing right away!
Over- or under-stable
Over- or under-stable explains whether the disc goes right or left for right-handed backhand throwers.
Add turn + Fade, if the sum is below 0 the disc is under-stable.
If the sum is 0, it is a neutral disc and if the sum is over 1, the disc is overstable.
Understable = Right, Neutral = Straight, Overstable = Left.
If you are left-handed it is the other way around, also applies to a right-handed person throwing forehand.
As a beginner, you should have an under-stable disc with low weight.

A little anxious
Dude, beginners throw better with this. Very satisfied!
Perfect for someone who is new to this!
Unfortunately totally useless plastic, breaks in 1 throw.
A bit difficult for me
Hi Jimmy,
If you are a beginner and find Sapphire a little too difficult at the moment, I would recommend that you try Diamond or River.
Both are available in a variety of plastics, but if you are looking for an affordable disc in basic plastic, I attach the link below.

Does its job, unfortunately the retro plastic is vulnerable but stylish and comfortable.
Flying well!
Nice disc, especially for me who likes to throw forehand!
